Little Surprises

Filed in: blog

One of the greatest things about being a writer these days is the availability of online resources – including book sales. While I still love browsing a store (I adore the smell of new books) and do it often, I also cherish the ability to research, look up covers, check prices, compare lists of books, etc. online. I order often online as well, usually those “Long Tail” books that you don’t find in the corner store. (If you want to know what I mean by “long tail” books, go here.)

Great book sites exist beyond Amazon, and one of them is Christianbook.com, the online presence of CBD, aka Christian Book Distributors. If you aren’t familiar with them and you write for the inspirational market, go there NOW. They keep beloved books in stock longer than Amazon, and they know the Christian market.

And, occasionally, an author will find a little surprise there. Although Amazon has had the page for The Face of Deceit up for some time, there’s no cover and only my bio. CBD has up a description, which tickled me and makes me think that Steeple Hill is already releasing info, even though I’ve not seen the cover yet.

Here’s the listing:
————-
Her parents were killed as she looked on, but artist Karen O’Neill has suppressed that childhood horror. Now, years later, someone is destroying her famous “face” vases. Art expert Mason DuBroc suspects that the creepy face Karen molds points toward murder. Does Karen know something she shouldn’t? A spine-tingling thriller with a fascinating twist!

I’d want to read it!

They even still have a few copies of A MURDER AMONG FRIENDS, which almost everyone else is out of.

So I can send folks to two different places to pre-order as I’m speaking, networking, and trying to stir a little buzz.
