Nightfall is coming. And now, more than ever, there is no doubt in my mind. I am hopeful that all obstacles have finally been diminished from the frustrating task of having this novel see the light of day (yes, I know...a bit of irony given the title). Though the official date is weeks from being announced, I felt it imperative to promote it by giving a reader, a fan, or a friend an autographed hardcover copy of the novel.
However, with this specific promotion, I wanted friends and fans to be involved with the book. Specifically, I wanted readers to interact with what is coming. What better way to do such by creating my main character--Stefan Powell--as a living and breathing entity that exists beyond the covers of the novel with which he was born. Suddenly...it hit me! MySpace!
Thus, I have created a MySpace profile for Stefan Powell, my protagonist of Nightfall. You see, not only does Stefan have the weight of the world on his shoulders; rather, he has the fate of the entire planet resting there as well!
I must say, it was quite the brilliant idea I instantly became fond of.
And it is this that has become the last promotion for my upcoming novel, Nightfall. I have placed the details of the promotion in this blog as viewed on my official website (www.andrewwolter.com). Yes, I managed to completely revamp my website as part of my January goals.
Read on and get a free, signed copy!
From the Official Website of Andrew Wolter:
Many readers and fans of my work have asked if Stefan Powell--the main character of my much anticipated novel, Nightfall--will be as strong of a character as Kieran or Anthony (from my first novel, The Rules of Temptation). While Nightfall substantially differentiates from the genre in which The Rules of Temptation was written--after all, Nightfall is a horror novel--readers are finally able to have the opportunity to get to know Stefan Powell personally.
And, just for being a "friend" of Stefan's, you will have a chance at winning a signed, hardcover copy of my forthcoming novel, Nightfall! Don't worry, you don't have to battle other worlds or be constantly looking over your shoulder, anticipating the wretched grasp of some mythological creature catching you from behind. No, nothing like that! All I'm asking is to be Stefan's friend. Now, that's a small price to pay to have the opportunity to get a free, autographed book, right? Not to mention, you'll have a chance to get to know somebody that's about to take on an entire netherworld of evil. When is the last time you can say you had a friend who did that?
Here's how it works...
From January 19, 2008 until March 1, 2008 become one of Stefan Powell's friends on his MySpace page. This is completely free to do! To do so, simply go to Stefan's MySpace page (www.myspace.com/stefanpowellaz) and click on the "Add" link in the "Contacting Stefan" box (beneath his picture). Once the add is confirmed, you have entered to win a autographed, hardcover copy of my forthcoming novel, Nightfall.
You see, it's rather painless, isn't it? But why stop there? While you're on Stefan's MySpace page, feel free to read all about him and learn about the character you will soon be reading all about. Check out his blog (it will be featuring some of his dark poetry and ramblings) and watch as the world around him begins to unravel as we get closer to the coming of Nightfall!
On March 2, 2008, I will be announcing the winner on this website and on a MySpace bulletin (make sure you friend me as well).
Good luck to you all!
So there you have it. Life imitating art!
