Hot Tub Cast™ for 4-4: State of the Palms Nation (Full Honest)

Bob O's YJ in progressBob O's YJ in progressYou gots to get down with this episode in your ear. Direct link to episode. Click to listen.

This is an honest assessment of where things are with this Palms Daddy and the overall Palms Nation as: 1) We get closer to May 5th and Cinco de Junius 2) I get closer to Tyrus Books's deadline for my final manuscript of YOUNG JUNIUS for layout 3) I work to generate promo and buzz for May 5th AND 4) I get serious about what I need to prioritize up here in the Bat Cave.

Plus: Comments on the fruitfulness of giving away free fiction in response to recent posts by J.C. Hutchins (and here) and others. --Basically, I'm all for Hutch and still think we have a lot to gain in this space.

Plus: Talk of Sigler's THE STARTER pre-order campaign AND the first episode of his THE STARTER podcast!

That's RIGHT. We got it all right here for you... TODAY!

THE STARTER - on sale now for Pre-Order

Submitted by Seth on Thu, 04/01/2010 - 15:37

Hey, today is Sigler Ascention Day™ - a.k.a. April Fool's Day - a.k.a. the day THE STARTER goes on sale for Pre-Orders! 

I love Scott's model here for pre-selling the book before it's ever gone to print. He did this last year with THE ROOKIE and I loved the model so much I stole it and copied it to use with Tyrus Books on our YOUNG JUNIUS Special Edition, which goes on sale May 5th. (more info on that is here.)

But today, let's pay tribute to Scott Sigler, genius, great writer and trail-blazing marketer extraordinaire by going over to scottsigler.com/thestarter and picking up a signed, numbered limited edition copy of THE STARTER. And shit, use code "seth" to get $3 off the price of each copy! 

Who's your boy? OK. But Scott is too.

 

This message has been sponsored by Scott Sigler and Author Boot Camp, next running at Stanford April 24th and May 1st. Be there!

YOUNG JUNIUS and Palms Sunday on the way!

Submitted by Seth on Sat, 03/20/2010 - 23:03

Two exciting things are about to happen: First, next Sunday is Palms Sunday, a day that we both know means a lot around here. It's now two years since we busted Amazon in the chops and got NYC publishing to recognize us! Since then, we got Jack Wakes Up out from Random House, selling well, and my second book, YOUNG JUNIUS is on the way, coming out in the fall from Tyrus Books!!! (More on that in a min.)

First, let's celebrate this Palms Sunday by telling people what we've done. If you know anyone who's not up on how we made Jack Wakes Up a hit and a major publishing release, let 'em know. We should see how high we can get the Amazon numbers for JWU again! As I write this, it's at 74k and usually hovers around there. Want to see if we can get back inside 10,000 on 3/28? Why not? Let's spread the word. (Amazon link for JWU is here: http://sethharwood.com/amazon)

Second, and what I'm really pumped about, is that YOUNG JUNIUS is coming out in the fall! Not just that, but starting May 5th (Cinco de Harwood), you'll be able to pre-order signed, numbered special-edition, bonus content copies of YOUNG JUNIUS that will only be available by pre-order to you and the rest of the Palms Family this spring! This version of the book is going to be hot! I'm talking about bonus features, a special insert of pictures of locations in the book, enhanced cover stock and special cover-art by Palms Daddies Jerry Scullion and Bob Ostrom. It's going to be something really special: a collector's item you'll definitely want to pick up! I can't wait to show you how it will look!

So May 5th, the start of the special-edition pre-sale is right around the corner! I'll be back next week with more info on it, a peek at how the cover will look, and more details! Until then, if you'd like more info, go here: http://sethharwood.com/youngjunius
