My plan is to first send out some ARCs to reviewers and friends, say in November. Then maybe in Jan come out with my Amazon page and have the book listed there and work on getting reviews. Then the real launch would be late Feb. when I get on some book promotional sites and have it available for free or 99 cents. That way, the book already has some reviews, which will help with conversions, and help me get on some of the book promotion sites. I have heard some people say that you want to time it where once you book comes live on Amazon, you go into full launch mode because it helps with Amazon's algorithm. But I've heard others say that it doesn't matter if the book is up for some time, say a month or two, before you really start pushing it and running ads to try to get the snowball running down the hill. What do y'all think?

Hi Daniel, I not sure what the best strategy is for marketing but I would be happy to read an advanced copy in exchange for reviews.

I've just messaged my contact details to you

He was so close. Professor Mark Eberhart was set to carbon date the Shroud of Turin. He was going to finally find out if this relic was real, and if it could revive his dwindling Christian faith. But the Shroud was stolen right in front of him . . . by thieves who possessed super human powers.
As Mark and journalist Cora Byron attempt to recover the Shroud, and find out why it was stolen, Mark’s faith is blindsided. At the same time he was to test the Shroud, other scientists ran DNA tests on the supposed lost bones of Jesus—tests which proved that these were, in fact, the real bones of Christ, and that the Resurrection never happened.
