All over the news in our area is a horrific true story about unfeeling employees who actually dug up the remains of people buried at Burr Oak Cemetery in Alsip, Illinois, dismembered them and hid them elsewhere. The bodies of some of these loved ones may likely never be recovered. This secretive scheme was done so the plots could be sold to others.
My heart goes out to the families of these loved ones. For more about this travesty, here's the link to the story in the Chicago Tribune.

This is the sort of thing you might read about in a horror story, but to think it actually happened in real life is dumbfounding. I wonder what makes people do such things. Is money that important?
While listening to the radio this morning, I heard a story abut a little girl who was playing hide and seek. Nobody could find her because she had such a great hiding place. The family then decided to have their dog look for her. She was discovered safe and sound in a drawer under the dryer. I was glad to hear of the happy ending.
Not to trivialize the event, but I can't help drawing analogies to what some authors do. They write great novels which remain hidden in great spots, like online, at distributors, in book catalogs. Nobody can find these books. That's because the authors don't market.
Writing takes time and effort, but so does promoting. Don't hide something you should be proud of. Get out there and let people know about it.
What about you? Do you write and hide it or do you promote? If you do promote, what methods do you use? Please share.

Here's a recent review I just received for my newly released novel, COMA.
This suspense thriller has everything to keep readers intrigued: a witty, unconventional hero; an exciting plot that delivers non-stop action from beginning to end; a seemingly unstoppable villain; and a couple beautiful women vying to domesticate the loose cannon. This one would make an explosive movie. Think Bourne, or the Bruce Willis version of The Jackal, then multiply by ten and you’ll have an idea of what the movie version of COMA would be.

Thanks a bunch, and enjoy the book.
Best regards

One last note: I've always enjoyed writing in the female POV. Having two sisters and being raised by my mother, much of it comes rather easily.
Again, be well,

This is the link for the paperback at Amazon.ca
http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/1554045274/sr=1-1/qid=1205086280/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me=&qid=1205086280&sr=1-1&seller=
All of the others have it as well of course, and the publishers have a link to take you straight to Amazon.com if you want the paperback from http://www.double-dragon-ebooks.com/single.php?ISBN=1-55404-524-X
It is selling far better in paperback than e-book I must say.
Hope this finds you well, and I hope to see you at the Candian Authors Network soon.
Best regards
Brian
I've heard about the post in Canada. The book is available from Amazon.ca, but it may be quicker (and cheaper) to get it from Amazon.com in the US. It's funny, I have a Canadian publisher but the book is delivered faster if ordered from the States. By the way, you might like to join me at The Candian Authors Network at http://canadianauthors.ning.com/
(I was allowed to join because of my publisher being in Canada.
Look forward to hearing from you again soon.
Best regards

I do hope you enjoy A Study in Red. It should keep you on the dge of your seat at the very least, I hope. Most people have said in their reviews that they found it hard to put down, so I hope it draws you in as it has so many others. I'll be interested in your thoughts on it when you've read it.
Warmest Regards
Brian
Thanks for your congratulations. I appreciate it very much. I hope you enjoy my books if you get any of them. 'A Study in Red' is doing especially well just now. One of our dogs (we have 6 rescue dogs) is abit like that. We have to exercise Alfie on a horse's lunge line because he loves to run off and do his own thing. Mind you, we've only had a short itme and are still training him, so there's hope yet.
Best regards
