The Matisse Puzzle, no mystery now – is the book I have finished
not long ago. It will be out on the market in
April. I haven’t set the date yet, since more needs to be done in terms of
editing, formatting for eBook, and advertising as well. Everything’s good at
this stage. The excitement of debut runs high, but that’s normal – I know. I’m
treating it with deep breaths and patience.
While
waiting for the last loose ends to be tied up, I will organize a sampling
session. I have some buddies helping me on this – just like my fictional
buddies in the novel. Fiction and fact get mashed up together, which makes life
really interesting. The first chapter will be up on this blog on Sunday, April
6. I will be very much interested in receiving feedback, so please come by,
read, and leave a comment. I hope you all agree with me on how important it is
for a debut novel to be discussed before it grows its proper wings. So please,
do leave your comments here as soon as the sample is up. There will be plenty
of reminders beforehand, on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Pinterest, Tumblr, and
possibly Goodreads as well.
Here’s the
first flyer I’ve created and distributed through social media.

| I'm keeping this in my Pinterest board, Thrillers, where all future flyers will be stored as well, along with my favourite books and other relevant pins. |
I hope the
quote will whet your appetite. If it does, I’m happy to give away some copies
of my novel, at a date that will have to be established. There will be more of
these little snippets to come, as I’m pretty seriously engaged in the process
of making myself and my book known to my dear virtual public.
I am also
interested in hearing from people who have ideas for original promotion
strategies. Until then: good time to all of those who read and happy writing to
all of those who write.
