Hello to all at MM.
I finished the first round of edits on my latest novel (and currently working on the second round), and am ready to begin putting a virtual book launch team together. My tentative title for the novel has been China Tour. However, I’m thinking of changing that to Smugglers and Spies. The title is very much up in the air. The one-sentence description is: An American couple’s troubled marriage is further strained when they become embroiled in a CIA operation while touring China. The book is about 74,000 words, or 257 pages when formatted for editing. It's set in 1983. This is the first time I’ve tried to put a virtual book launch team together, so I’m kind of feeling my way. What I thought I would ask of my team: - Read the book. I’ll supply a Word or PDF copy ASAP. I’d ask that you read it within two weeks and give me some feedback. - Give me feedback about the title. Is one of these better, or does something else seem good to you? - Obviously if you find the book isn’t something you could endorse you can back out. - Within the first month of publication, make at least three on-line posts promoting it. This could be a blog post, Facebook post, tweet, or whatever, the goal being to get some buzz started. - Once the book publishes, post a review on Amazon and/or Goodreads. - After publication, I’ll give everyone on the launch team an official copy, either paper or electronic at your choice. I’m hoping to do the paperback version almost simultaneous with the print version, but the cover will dictate that. Anyone want in on the launch team? Message me here, respond in-thread with your e-mail, or e-mail me at norman_d_gutter AT yahoo DOT com. I’ll have the file to you within a few hours. ·······  ·······For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.

Hi Dave,
What a great idea! I would enjoy helping, however, I am traveling all next week, and the two weeks following, I have a CRAZY work schedule that I anticipate will keep me up late.  Perhaps I can help in some other way next month? In any event, I wish you nothing but success with your novel!  Best, ~Lori
