I've tried almost all of the recommended methods that are suggested in all of the marketing info I could find. Social media, FB, Instagram, YouTube, Email, Blogs, and I even had a book trailer created and posted that as well. I've been down almost every road and so far, most of them have been dead ends with very mild success. The book deserves validation, but it won't get it until that one influencer reads it and falls in love with it and really promotes it to their followers. I'm just searching for that influencer! My publisher, who is a very small publishing company, really wants to get the book into a hardback edition and hopefully that will happen sometime this year. Thank you for the question Blessing and if you know of any major thriller influencers, send them my way please!

Hi Dr. Jasmine, I'm very well, hope you are doing well also. Hopefully you will get the opportunity to read the book. As far as your question goes, I feel it is imperative that the narrator conveys, or at least tries to convey the characters emotions to the reader so the reader can relate to the characters. I feel that if this isn't accomplished the plot will not succeed to draw the reader into the story and make it come alive for them. To me having a book come alive in my mind is what it's all about and the makings of a great tale! I hope this answers your question! Feel free to contact me if you have anything further to ask! Thank you for looking at the reviews and asking this question.
Best Regards,
Rick

You need to keep the faith that you can and will complete your work and that you do have what it takes to put thought to paper! It doesn't hurt to have someone in your corner that has faith in you and lets you know that every now and then!
Richard McCann
That's a tough one! I'd say it's the ability to express one's thoughts for the world to see and hopefully validate by liking your works...

I don't make a list, I just read what looks good to me when I see it!

Right now I'm not actively writing, kind of want to see how Two If By Sea is received! But there are some ideas floating around in the brain bucket that might appear on paper. Have to wait and see!

I believe the idea in my head that won't go away and has to come out is my inspiration to write.
Richard McCann
Good question! Shortly after 9/11 the idea formulated, and it grew from there!
