just trying something new?

[Jim]

As always, because nothing works, I decided I'd try a totally different way of promoting the book.
I've left it to Tallis Steelyard.
The idea is that I'll promote it through his blog and make the promos interesting and fun enough so people like and share them.
Cannot tell if it's working yet obviously but I felt it was worth a try

Any results yet, Jim?

[Jim]

Well I got a good initial hit, getting higher than I've managed without serious blog touring.
Whether I get to keep the sales up I don't know
It also got a lot of people subscribing directly to my blogs who followed reblogs by others

[Jim]

Sales seem to be keeping up and spreading to other Port Naain Intelligencer titles

I'm now running this sort of thing on facebook :-)



it seems to work reasonably well, the better one get a couple of shares :-)

Been doing them for a while

You do seem to like the luminescent buttocks.

That's Patti who likes the luminescent buttocks

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Sorry Jim. I'm sure its not that often you get mistaken for Patti.

[Jim]

I'm not sure which one she is in the picture.........

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

I am the one wearing a net curtain.

[Patti (baconater)]

I'm the shy one in the back.

[Rita]

Interesting concept, Jim. That's really thinking outside the square!

[Jim]

and the advantage of it all is that it's in the public domain.

How else would I get so many attractive young ladies (or young men) to take their clothes off to sell my books?

Self portrait from your younger years, Jim?

[Jim]

what do you mean 'younger years' ?

[David]

Even yesterday, we were all younger ;~)

Imagine sitting or standing on cold marble steps, nude, so the painter could get his drawings and shadows. Does NOT look comfortable, however artistic.

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Its probably a much warmer climate than ours, so a nice cool marble step may be quite pleasant...

Actually Tallis Steelyard discusses this very situation

That's not a net curtain, it's a little bit if gauze and they had to paint several before the bit of gauze fell the right way for it to work.

I assumed it was a photograph?

[Will]

Or a hologram?

[Jim]

yes, I felt I'd stepped round the corner and found the scene in front of me

Mwah ahahahrgh! I just felt scared. ;-)
