Marketing image progress.

I'm working on this marketing image for an upcoming project, which is bass-ackwards compared to the usual process. This one's not quite right, but we're getting close.

Soon I can format the story, which is 6,000 words, and get an ISBN to go with it.

This story will be out by December 1, 2012 on Amazon, B & N, Kobo, Diesel Books, Sony, etc, although it takes some time to filter down through the Smashwords distribution channels.

A science-fiction allegory of the writing life, the story asks the question, 'How much of who we are is wrapped up in what we know?'


Trapped in the game space, they don't even know their names, and a piece of knowledge may be worth killing for.

Someone will have to make the experiment.

Coming November 1. 'The Art of Murder.'

Marketing image for my new mystery novel, 'The Art of Murder,' which will be published November 1/2012.

I would love a critique, an impression, a scathing commentary, a few words on a related subject,* for someone to go off on a tangent, or even a few unsolicited compliments on this, my first attempt at a marketing image.

Ahem. That bein' said, (and I'm just sayin',) please tell me all about how bad covers don't sell good books, and all that short-story long crap.

Hello to all of you in Russia. Russia is a great country, and I hope you all learn English very, very soon, so that you all can read a whole bunch of my books. Spacebo comrades.

More on this later.

Thank you very much and good day. Oh, and I promise to put the skull back in the ROM tomorrow before Curly the minimum-wage unarmed security guard wakes up just in time to go home.) -louis


P.S. Yes I know my signature begins with a lower case letter. It's like a little peccadillo.

*But I ain't going to get it, am I?

This is the end of this post. Stop reading it.

Coming Soon.
