Can You Believe It? Grab Attention with Perspectives ...not found online.
Imagine a trip to your local bookstore or library. You amble to the shelves filled with your preferred genres, peruse titles by favorite authors, and come across a novel by an author you have never heard of.
What do you do?
Does the title sound interesting?
You look at the cover. What do you think?
You read the back cover blurb and flip it open to the first page?
What then? Do you stuff the book back in the vacant slot, or think about it before deciding to take it with you?
It’s all the above for me.
The choices become overwhelming when you realize 11,000 books are published each day (2023 stats).
How will little unknown authors compete?
Like you, stories that grab my attention, offer attention-getting perspectives not available in books written by AI, are the ones I want to read.
I write from the perspective of a former homicide detective and forensic investigator. I’ve seen things most people never see or wish to see but enjoy reading about it.
Well-written novels based on attention-grabbing subjects told from a different perspective?
Sounds good to me.
Someone who commits crimes want no witnesses.
Authors who publish mystery, suspense, and thrillers based on criminal activity want as many witnesses as possible.
Readers are witnesses.
As an author, I want as many of these witnesses as possible to follow my characters’ routines. Observe the way the characters act, speak, how he or she dresses, quirks and preferences, and hope each witness will tell others about their experience.
Of course, this isn’t possible unless you know about me and the books I’ve written. And many others to come.
One final note for authors and writers.
Here is my new release:
The Genesis Concept: An Inspiring Masterclass on Writing Dynamic Setting, Characters and Conflict
This mini book triggers an author’s and writer’s in-the-beginning moment.
The Creator shows writers how to go from blank page to a bold beginning set in a vivid world where tension and conflict drive compelling characters toward an uncertain future.
