Behind The Scenes. . .
Welcome to Trigger City: Behind The Scenes (to return to the main site, click on my name at the top of the page).
This area of my website is reserved for friends, family and newsletter subscribers. It's a place where I can post video messages and some personal stuff, talk a little more candidly about the publishing "bidness" . . . and take a more informal tone.
Also, a place where I can solicit feedback that goes beyond, "send me an e-mail."
So let's get to it. . .
COVER ME: I'm very happy with the cover of Trigger City, and thought you'd like a peek behind the scenes at the selection process and some of the excellent covers not chosen. Please rate the covers, and I'll share your feedback with HarperCollins.
View the covers and have your say >
CONTESTS: I posted the names of contest winners on my old site ages ago, but if you didn't get a look, you can still find the winners here.
Now there's a new contest. I hope you will enter and tell others about it. Basically, I'm looking for pictures of people reading Trigger City in the workplace (you can see contest details in the sidebar on the photos & video page). So take your copy of Trigger City and your digital camera to work, and send me a pic. Best pics will be posted on my site, and cool prizes will be given out.
NOW HEAR THIS: Want to hear the music that Ray listens to in BCBB and Trigger City? See the sidebar of my books page, where I've made iMix soundtracks for the books. Click on them to hear samples of the songs. If you dig the music, you can buy the soundtrack from iTunes. I think it's a really cool way to reconnect with the books and get deeper inside Ray Dudgeon's head. N.B.: I make no money from this; just sharing the love.
HELP A BROTHER OUT: Listen, if you've read Trigger City and you love it, please help a brother out by posting a fantabulous review on one of the many online venues that post book reviews. On the other hand, if you've read Trigger City and hated it . . . shhhh! Silence is golden.
MORE TO COME: Crazy busy on my tour right now (check out my appearances, and if I'm coming to a town near you, please stop by and say hello) but I'll add a bunch of new content to this part of the site next month. So be sure to check back again. In the meantime, don't forget to rate the book covers. Thanks for stopping by.
