Our client Carmen Capuano got in touch in great excitement yesterday, with some important news. She’ll be counting the cars racing by on the Aston Expressway this autumn, when the large digital billboard located there is displaying an advertisement for her latest book.
“I really can’t believe that my novel will be up there for everyone to see – it’s almost beyond my wildest dreams!” said Carmen, whose reputation as an author is gaining momentum as her popularity grows. “Thousands of cars pass that spot every day – and now they will see the cover of Split Decision!”
To add further to Carmen’s excitement, WHSmith will be stocking the newly released book on its shelves, facilitating its shoppers’ searches for a good read. Said a WHS spokesman, of the decision to put Split Decision on display in a prime spot in the window, “We are aware of exactly what our customers are looking for in a book. They want something they can fully immerse themselves in; good writing with a great plot. So if they haven’t already discovered Carmen Capuano for themselves, we are happy to bring her to their attention.”
So things may not quite be ‘written in the stars’ yet for our client, but they are certainly getting higher in the sky.
Pink Wish Ice Cream deals with a sweet, rounded, good-natured Polly Pink Witch teaching some brats to be nice. It is a classic kiddies book with classic morals, the type your mum, grand-mother and aunt would have instilled in you. It’s really simple: Say “please” and “thank you”, and your wish will be granted; be rude and obnoxious and you forfeit your wish. This even applies if you’re a mommy trying to bend the rules a little for the sake of your kid… I’m curious which lessons the other witches will be instilling in potential sequels.
We’re looking for at least 100 people to help Carmen Capuano‘s new novel Split Decision launch with a bang on 4th of July. We’re doing it using the Thunderclap web application, and we need your support. There’s no money involved, no catch, and only a couple of minutes of mouse-clicking to do. But we have to gather those 100 by the 4th in order for this promotional tool to work.
Over on the site for the e-zine the zen space (edited by our client Marie Marshall) spring is stirring. What has stirred it is a collection of haiku and ‘short-burst’ poetry by some of the best modern exponents, plus a translation of a classical greek fragment, and a collection of marker-pen mandalas.
