HARD CASE in BTS E-Mag

My full page ad is out in the great Book Trailer's Showcase E-Mag. They have everything, articles, stories, and new books. It's the best on-line publication I've seen. I think the job they did on my ad was exceptional. If anything can generate some interest in my novel HARD CASE, that ad will do it. Take a look at it when you get a chance here: BTS E-Mag. I know you'll enjoy it. Oh... and don't forget to take a good look at my HARD CASE ad, and let me know what you think of it.  :)

    Let us know if the ad seems to generate any sales. I'd like to know!

    I will for sure, Charles. My publishing partner will be keeping track of the sales. BTS had 60,000 views for their July magazine. They're featuring my novel COLD BLOODED for their November Mag and I'm taking another full page ad out in it for THE PROTECTORS. I also gave them a COLD BLOODED short story to go along with the feature. The great part of this is BTS archives everything in the magazine, so no matter when it's viewed, the ad will be there. We can write like the wind and produce literary classics until they're coming out of our ears, but without name recognition, the indie competition of new releases in fiction is staggering. :)

    That's a fantastic looking ad. I'd never heard of BTS, but I like the look of the magazine. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you that it translates into sales.

    I hadn't heard about Morgan Freedman. Now I'm really BUMMED. I loved his work. Loved his voice. And I agree. He brought a level of class and professionalism to everything he worked in.

    Bernard, I enjoyed dealing with BTS on my last video. Very nice people there, and I LOVE the look of your ad!! Very sharp, very professional. Even if I didn't know you, I'd have a look-see at that. :)

    (and I'm reading online that the Freeman death report was false...hope that's true!).

    Raine, I just read the news, too. Really relieved. People are f*cked up.

    Thanks, Jordan, they're good people at BTS. I'll be sure to post it if the ad makes a difference.

    Thank you, Raine! The news was sent to me by a friend who knows what a fan I am of his. I don't know why in the hell anyone would do something like that, but I'd send Nick after them in a heartbeat, and they wouldn't have to worry about hoaxes. :) I saw your trailer on BTS. I really like them.

    They sure are, Jordan. That was just wrong.

    I love the add, Bernard! Best of luck with it!

    I'm wondering how wide a circulation the magazine has. I've never heard of it before. But it certainly looks good.

    Thanks, Vesper. BTS is a new one, and this is only their second E-mag. They had 60,000 views of their July issue. I wanted to get my ad in when their rates are dirt cheap. :) I've already gotten word they'll be hitting the 60,000 view mark in this first week.
