Today I’m having a discussion with my Marketing Maniac
kitten.
MM: What? No interview? No kidnapping?
Liza: Nope. I want to discuss our marketing plan.
MM: You do realize everyone just clicked off when you said
that.
Liza: Then let’s have a private discussion.
MM: You want to have a private conversation on a public blog?
Liza: Yes…why are crawling under the couch?
MM: You seem to have lost your mind. I’m just looking for
it.
Liza: Funny. Now tell me what you’ve got up your furry
little sleeves to increase sales of Saving Casey.
MM: Are you going to keep an open mind and not just shoot
them all down for silly reasons?
Liza: Silly reasons like they are illegal and the FBI will
haul me in for questioning…again?
MM: I can’t work in a negative environment.
Liza: Just tell me what you’ve got.
MM: You know I made placards of positive statements
made about your books from readers, right?
MM: Well, I’m going attach them to the back of a dollar,
then drop them with the dollar facing up on the floor of book stores.
Liza: So people will pick up the dollar, tear off the
placard and toss it on the floor, then wander about collecting more dollars
so they can buy a ski hat or mittens.
MM: Maybe, but they might actually read the placard as they are pulling if off the dollar bill and realize that those who have read Saving Casey think its a great story.
Liza: Honestly, I don’t think I can afford this idea.
MM: Okay, then I’ll use fake money.
Liza: And get me arrested for counter-fitting, no thanks. Is that all you have for marketing efforts?
MM: No…I have engaged an Sales enforcer. It's like a Salesperson, but far more effective.
MM: He travels about digitally threatening everyone to buy your
book or get the crap swatted out of them. Except he’s so cute, he never has to
follow through.
Liza: I kind of like him, but could we soften his message. I
really don’t want to bully people into reading a story against bullying.
MM: I see your point.
Liza: What else?
MM: I want to make a movie with all my promotions set to
music.
Liza: Only the legal ones. No NYC buildings.
MM: It’s getting negative in here again.
Liza: As long as they are legal it sounds lovely. However, I
believe you’ve already made one movie rather like that.
MM: I did, but no one watches it, so I want to try making
the movie again. Remakes are often better than originals.
Liza: Okay, let's see it.
Liza: That is better than the original. Well done, Maniac. Well, that does it for today...
MM: But I have more ideas!
Liza: I’m sure I’ll have space for you to talk again. Gather
them up for that.
MM: At least let me add a few things:
Having
been diagnosed with cancer, Cass Goldman decides to opt out of any futile
medical care and end her life. While she has some thoughts on afterlife, she
never expects to reincarnate into the body of a seventeen-year-old girl named
Casey Davidson.
When
she awakens in a hospital, Cass discovers two disturbing facts: One, she is now
inside the body of a troubled teenager, and two, the former owner of this body
committed suicide, but only Cass knows that. Everyone else believes Casey has
survived, but suffered a complete memory loss. Cass has two choices: to take on
Casey’s life and turn it around, or to confess the truth about her
reincarnation and end up in a mental asylum. Given this second chance to life,
Cass decides to take on the future life of Casey—the frightening ghoul-faced
teen with short, black, spiky hair.
Every
person around Cass has an ulterior motive and discovering the truth of Old
Casey’s life is more complicated than the “new math” she is forced to learn in
school. In addition, Cass has to contend with raging teenage hormones and the
prior crimes of Old Casey, which she might not remember, but everyone else
certainly does. However, her biggest frustration concerns her feelings for her
father’s rugged security specialist who sees her only as a teenager and doesn’t
want to explore the mutual attraction between them.
As
determined as Cass is to turn this life around, Old Casey’s enemies are just as
determined to end her life. She has no idea whom she can trust, but she knows
she’ll never survive going it alone.
AND IN CASE YOUR EYES ARE TOO TIRED TO READ, HERE'S THE TRAILER:
Now stop procrastinating and go out there and buy the book!
