Hi Adrian I saw the thread you started: Too Many Indies and Not Enough Books. It generated some interesting discussion and comments. In your last post you asked about using social media (presumably for marketing)? I have limited experience marketing on social media, although have greatly enjoyed using videos and images as marketing tools. Happy to discuss.

Adrian Deans Hi Chris, have you used booktok at all? I'm in the process of making a book trailer for my latest novel.

If you could travel to any fictional book world, where would you go and what would you do there?

Adrian Deans I think I'd most like to go to the Battle of Hastings (Senlac Hill) to try and understand exactly what went wrong for Harold. I still don't get why he lost.

I'd also love to experience the early part of the hundred years war (with Thomas of Hookton); the Cromwell years as described by Hilary Mantel; and the Wellington years with Sharpe.

It would also be very cool to share Eric Judd's journey.

What's your favorite book out of the ones you've p written and why?

Adrian Deans Hi Anne, thanks for asking. That's a really difficult question as my three published novels are all so different.

I really do love them all for different reasons but it's probably a close tie between Straight Jacket and The Fighting Man. They're both complicated plots with complex characters doing interesting things. I think for depth and texture I'd have to go for SJ but for weaving the intricacies of story into research, TFM stands very proud.

What do you think?
