Step beyond the velvet rope

bouncer.jpgI’ve noticed a curious thing. I’ve actually sold a few books on Amazon—sans cover. At first there was just a skeletal placeholder. Then some basic info was propagated to the site. Bit by bit, it’s coming to life, becoming real. But, the cover is still being tweaked.

So, for anyone who’s taken a lovely leap of faith and bought the book, sight relatively unseen, drop me a line and I’ll send you a secret link where you can see the almost-finished cover. I’ll also send you early cover concepts designed by yours truly. I might even share some of the cool stuff that’s happening with HOTEL that’s too juicy to reveal at the moment.

I couldn't resist - I just had to pre-order a copy once I saw that it was on amazon.

Will you send me the names and numbers of the security guys? They could come in handy. ;)

I must really think you're a great writer because I went ahead and pre-ordered the book WITHOUT the names and phone numbers and dating status - uh - I mean - IQs - of the security guys.

The things I do for friends ... yeesh...

I'm a little slow on the uptake, but I just discovered Pub Rants and read your killer query. Wow. Sounds like a great book!

Yay, not that Amazon rankings mean a whole lot, but I've gone from being ranked something like two-billionth to 24,429...

Lisa, I'll send my special security detail on over. Be gentle with them... :)

Do you have a sample chapter or 2 posted anywhere?

Congrats on all the good stuff going on!!

Ah, good question. There's a bit of a web overhaul in my future. Not sure when. I'll probably end up with a separate site for the book and I'm sure I'll have samples there.

I'll take good care of them. Promise. ;)
