Yes, we plan on doing an Amazon Rush on May 15th, 2010. That’s next Saturday, and I’ll be doing a live show on Stickam.com
This audio update gives some info on what’s going on for the next week leading up to the book release. Enjoy!

For those of you that have never taken part in an Amazon Rush, what exactly is it?
Simply put, we are attempting to push Murder at Avedon Hill up the charts by having as many people purchase it as possible, at the same time, on Amazon.com. By doing so, we can push the book up the charts and increase its exposure in the short term. This has successfully been accomplished in the past by authors like Scott Sigler, Tee Morris, and Philippa Ballantine.
So how does it work?
In my case, on Saturday, May 15th, at noon Eastern time I would love for everyone that wants to own the print version of Murder at Avedon Hill to head on over to Amazon.com (url for the book coming soon) and purchase the novel. Amazon updates their rankings every hour, and they even have a specific page called the Movers and Shakers list.
What else will be going on? And what’s in it for me?
Well, besides owning a damn good book, I’m going to be live streaming on stickam.com starting at noon Eastern. I’ll be reading from the novel, chatting with folks online, and there should be some special guests on hand to celebrate the book’s release. I will also be giving away prizes to several lucky owners of the book. More on that in the days to come… including one special prize that I’m very excited about.
I’ve been creating online content in some capacity for going on five years now. I hope that karma really works, and we can knock this thing right out of the park!
Last week Michell Plested interviewed me for his “Get Published” podcast. It was a great conversation, and I hope you enjoy it. The actual interview starts at around the 10 minute mark.
I will be dropping a Tales of the Children story tomorrow, a story written and produced by Dan Absalonson.
If you’d like to support the book release, please consider using these avatars on Twitter, Facebook, and any other you frequent. And if people ask, tell them about the book launch and send them this way!
Special thanks to Ron Earl for the creation of these avatars! And as always, thanks to Jeff Himmelman for the use of his wonderful art piece called “Sophia.”
Tonight we have one of my favorite interviews ever, with one of the great gentlemen of podcasting… Jack Mangan. Enjoy.
