Don Winslow's New Novel "Dawn Patrol"

Jason Kincade, an online Marketer for Random House, just contacted me and let me know that Don Winslow's new novel "Dawn Patrol" will be coming out in June, so that is exciting news. I expect I'll be doing quite a bit of marketing for Don over the next few months, getting the word out.


What many new authors don't know is that while a company like Random House might publish your novel, they expect you (the author) to do a good portion of the marketing for its successful sales. Not knowing much about marketing (and why should they?) and even knowing less about marketing on the Internet, many good novels fall through the cracks, and show little success, even though the potential readership is gasping for new tales.

As Don is a personal friend of mine I don't mind helping him out with this side of his business at all, and in fact, since I'm a fan of his work, I look forward to it (and the free copy I usually get :-)






If you aren't familiar with Don Winslow's work, search out Power of the Dog, The Winter of Frankie Machine (soon to be a movie with Robert De Niro), and Cool Breeze on the Underground (also with a motion picture in the works).
