I’m fast approaching a time where new fiction has to take a back seat to promotion. I always try to target the Halloween season, so this may seem weird to see in August. It really does no good to release a book on Halloween. The season is over, and there isn’t enough time for people to find it for their seasonal enjoyment. My goal is to have the new book out in mid September, thus a few advance teasers.
Here’s how they work. Look at the graphic. Listen to the music (It’s pretty awesome stuff), then ponder what the heck I’m up to now. If I can schedule this correctly, it will lead up to a cover reveal and a shiny new book. I’ll try to run one of these out every week. Feel free to ponder in the comments.
You collectors are welcome to snag the new Lisa Burton posters along the way. They make great Pinterest pins.
What is headed your way for the Halloween season?
You have our attention, Craig!

Looking (and sounding) great, Craig. As well as FALLOUT which releases on the 25th of this month, I have a non-fiction on pre-order to release early October, so just pre-Halloween, called Creative Solutions for the Modern Writer. Best of luck with your books and promo, Craig 🙂

Well, I got so distracted by the music I forgot what I was supposed to be doing. 🙂 I LOVE the blues! Okay. So, I’d say that there is a murder and maybe it has something to do with music? Guess we’ll just have to wait and see. 🙂
