Hi Warren,Are you willing to share how you got all those radio interviews? I'm sure most of us would like to know!

Hi David. Tor arranged them for me. They asked me to prepare some topics and their PR guys sent them out to radio shows and booked them!
Read my essay, FRAGMENTS OF PANDEMONIUM, about the science behind my books, Fragment and Pandemonium, published today at Powell's books: http://www.powells.com/blog/original-... (PANDEMONIUM is published TODAY!) -Warren

I'm glad I didn't have to do much to get it arranged. A PR firm is probably the best way to go. The key is to set up questions (with your answers) in advance. Keep them punchy and most of all keyed to current events and hot topics. That's what they told me to do when I was preparing talking points. That way it's easy for radio interviews. They can jump in and ask questions that are already interesting without having to immerse themselves in your book first.

Hello Again,
I'm not familiar with Tor. I'm assuming they are a PR firm? Was your book traditionally published or self-published? And, if self-published, how did you find this firm? What kinds of fees do they charge? Thank you in advance!
Tor is a traditional publisher, part of Macmillan (one of the "Big Six" publishers). So they do their own PR. From what I can glean, though, the principal holds true. If you write up a 1-sheet with questions and answers that are liable to grab the attention of a radio jock, they have a lot of time to fill up. Sending them a press release might get you on the air if the topic is interesting to the host.

Hello fellow James Mason Members, Just a note to let you know the 2nd edition of my book "What I Wish I Knew Before I Moved to Hollywood" is available exclusively on Amazon Kindle (released 3/7/13) at 1/3 the paperback price: http://goo.gl/AB23N
In addition, to get attention for it, I'm doing a book giveaway of signed first edition paperbacks here on Goodreads: http://goo.gl/q4DPj
Finally, I'm in need of some reviews--esp here on GR (but other (Amazon) as well, if you like). I made the mistake of arguing politics with a guy last year on FB and he came on here and attacked the 1st ed of my book. Amazon removed his attack, but GR has not yet. Plus GR unfortunately attached it to the 2nd edition. Since GR has that review linked to the 2nd edition as well, I'm willing to send free review copies to anyone from the group who's willing to post a review (positive or negative about the book). Just inbox me your email and I'll send a .mobi file.
Thanks for your help and support. And please spread the word for me.
All my best,
T. R. Locke

I'm a good non-Roman Catholic. That means I'm not biased and will give a good review. Good things I say in the review. Improvement and changes I feel are needed, I give to the author. If I can't find something good to say, I don't do a review.

My name is Brannon Sirmon and I have re-published my great-grandfather's authentic WWI diary. This book will be free for members until 3/31.That’s War, as a finished book, is an exact replica of the authentic World War I diary of William Arthur Sirmon. The youngest of 4 children from the outskirts of Mobile, Alabama, he grew up to become the highest decorated officer in Georgia(where he settled after serving in both World Wars), and arguably one of the most highly decorated American soldiers of the entire Great War. His indelible experiences from training men in camp to the battlefronts in Europe are detailed in this book, including the act of becoming an honorary citizen of France. While the literary subject of WWI is not new, I have been hard pressed to discover a resource that gives the reader a definitive point of view from behind the medals. In short, this is the book that embodies the thoughts, actions, reflections and emotions of what it was like to serve America, and the world, in the fight for freedom.
I'm trying to get reviews and ratings to make That's War a success so I can use it as a platform to help disabled veterans.
Here is a coupon code that will allow you to download it for free: NA86T. https://www.smashwords.com/books/view...
If you are interested please enjoy, on me.

Winner of the David Adams Prize and the J.I. Segal Award, a CBC-Scotiabank Giller Prize Readers' Choice Top 10, and many other recognitions.
The Meaning of Children manages to capture with both wit and wisdom the effervescence, the indignities, the curiosity, and the fear that are part of a child’s eye view of the world. This book is teeming with wit and quality observation.
~Jason Camlot on behalf of the Jury, 2012 J.I. Segal Awards (Mona Adilman Prize)
A keen, incisive vision into the hidden world of children as well as intimate knowledge of the secret spaces that exist between the everyday events of life. A work with a brilliant sense of story…Yours is a luminous talent.
~JoAnne Soper-Cook, Judge, 2010 David Adams Richards Prize
Akerman holds up our greatest fears, not to dwell on them, but to marvel at our commitment to life, especially to passing it on to others.”
~Anne Chudobiak, The Montreal Gazette
This isn't the invented childhood of imagination and wonderment...[here] children both corrupt and redeem: each other, family relationships and the female body.
~Katie Hewitt, The Globe & Mail
Loved your book; read it in one sitting.
~Mutsumi Takahashi, Anchor, CTV Montreal. Interview: http://youtu.be/dyOp2wQlxvk

The Fifth Hour
My thrilling YA Speculative Fiction novel, ELDORADO, is now available on Amazon.com through Createspace and in the Kindle e-store.ELDORADO is being offered as a Goodreads giveaway until May 1/2013.
In post Peak-Oil Vancouver, the world of bookish community college instructor Richard Hampton is blown apart when his younger brother Danny disappears and the police are too busy keeping a lid on a hungry, overcrowded city to search for him.
Richard must make the transformation to street-smart warrior to survive when he jumps the Food Train to the disintegrating suburbs in a desperate search for Danny and his dog, Zonk.
Branded a criminal by a community of outcasts, imprisoned, and condemned to death, Richard is rescued by streetwise Carrie, who joins in his search.
They trek across the remnants of the sprawling suburbs, facing criminal gangs, renegade militias, and the hardships of the road. Gradually their friendship evolves into something more.
The trail finally unwinds at a deserted complex in the remotest corner of the suburbs. What they discover there will alter their lives and their world forever.

My novel depicts the international intrigue surrounding the love affair between an Egyptian Secret Service Agent and an Israeli woman during the 1956 Suez War. The book, however, spans 3,000 years of history and is a combination of Romeo and Juliet, Samson and Delilah, and Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. Eighty per cent of the plot is true and the rest is poetic license courtesy of Shakespeare, John Keats, Matthew Arnold, Robert Frost, and Alfred, Lord Tennyson.
