Unless you are an uber-selling author like Stephen King, Ian Rankin, Val McDermid or Kathy Reichs, marketing is a fundamental aspect of life. And even these multi-million selling wordsmiths take time to ‘push’ their latest publications wherever and whenever they can.
Chris Simms, however, has come up with an tantalising way to get his work in front of both new and familiar readers of his Jon Spicer series. He offers a free download of Roller Coaster, a novella that provides Spicer’s back story, to site visitors who join his Readers Club.
