Hastings St Promotion & Signings

Posted on December 16, 2011 by Chris

DARK Promotion at Noosa

Posted on November 21, 2011 by Chris

We are planning, still or again, a televised interview and possible book signing at iconic Noosa on the Sunshine Coast.

Many of the details are arranged but final agreement on the date and time will not be reached until 30th November, when we chat again with the owner of the Book Shop we have chosen.

My choice, unseen, was for Mary Ryan’s Books, Music and Coffee, which seems gregarious enough and it’s location is smack dab in the middle of Hastings Street, as iconic in itself as the regional locale of Noosa.

As soon as there are firm details, we will publish names and dates and even seek further coverage, perhaps in print. It would be good to use this occasion to promote other issues aside from simply the book, DARK-Millennium 3.

We are working on the final details. Even custard can be used as something else when it goes wrong so…remain flexible and, “Watch this space”.

Video Trailer Press Release

Posted on September 6, 2011 by Chris

DARK-Millennium 3 has been supported by a Video Trailer Press Release just as the book is being promoted also at the Beijing Book Expo in China.

The video itself is hosted on YouTube but also is embedded in a PDF file which was transmitted around the Industry locations selected by the Publisher and the Author to promote sales and to increase marketing.

It will be interesting now to see what additional ways can be found to use the embedded video for other purposes and at other sites.

Embedding code in WordPress is a simple matter. Achieving the same functionality elsewhere on the Web may need some research. So will finding places ON the Web that can conveniently be used. We will look into this.

The book is now available in all typical formats. Aside from the Print Copy, which is available to order Online, DARK-Millennium 3 can be downloaded in a range of e-Book formats including Nook and Kindle. For the copies to be made available in Taiwan, for instance, approval has been given for the book to be converted into whatever e-Book format is appropriate to each TelCo (eight publishing companies bought the book) Tablet or e-Book Reader.

This will obviously become the norm internationally, as e-Book readers are taken up globally.
