Vampire Story with Bite

Enid, Oklahoma's own Brian N. Young continues his launch into the steam punk genre with the release of news about the expanded Silent War series. A dramatic and intriguing story line is inventively woven through the first book De Civitate Sanguino: The City of the Bloodthirsty. Recently released through Damnation Books,a publisher specializing in dark horror, and others are already in the works. It is sure to be a favorite series of not only Oklahoma Steam Punk followers but any who love Gothic, Vampire, Adventure, and Historical fiction. Young holds degrees in history from Northwestern University and University of Wales, Lampeter. To order go here.

THREE RULES FOR BETTER MARKETING

1. Develop a vibrant blurb to describe your book to someone in a couple of sentences. If you can't do that - revisit your work. The writer unable to do this often has a problem with their book - so see how well you can define (in selling terms) your work.
2. Establish "talking points" about your book: what sets it apart? what sets you apart? why should someone buy your work?
3. "Lattice" your work to other venues and events. Do a web of your book and identify all the parts and how you might market the book to those sub-sections.

NOTE:
Not just self-publishing authors are faced with the need to become better at marketing their own work - surveying the recent edition of WRITER'S MARKET shows even some "big name" houses are expecting their authors to be their own best promoters.
