This trailer was made by my friend Adam Perry, and I'm thrilled with how it turned out. If you'd like to share this trailer on your blog or Twitter or Facebook or Tumblr or restroom wall, please do. It will earn you 50,000 karma points. If you don't, 75,000 karma points will be deducted from your overall score. You have been warned.
First, you have four more days to take advantage of the special I'm running on my paperbacks, which make great gifts or, at the very least, wonderful paperweights. Second, wanna help me promote my new thriller Man of Wax? Sure you do. If you go to the Kindle page, you'll see this box:
See where it says "Give as a Gift"? Just click that and send a copy to a family member or friend or even enemy who likes thrillers and then forward me the receipt at robert (at) robertswartwood (dot) com. What this will get you in return are two free ebooks -- The Inner Circle and a new unannounced title coming out early next year (both to be delivered when the books become available, of course).
Nobody you know has a Kindle? No problem! There are several apps for basically every digital platform.
The deadline for this promotion is December 31st.
So what are you waiting for? ’Tis the season.
Since this post, Barnes & Noble has made it possible for readers to gift Nook titles, so check out the B&N Man of Wax page here.
Now this is how you sell a Kindle, no?
Because this is coming soon ...
Ben Anderson goes to bed Sunday night, lying next to his wife in the comfort and safety of their Pennsylvania family home, to wake up the next day in a rundown motel in California — alone.
He doesn’t know how he got there, he doesn’t know where his family is, and written in dried blood on the bathroom door are the words LET THE GAME BEGIN.
Soon Ben is contacted by Simon. Simon knows all there is to know about Ben, more than he cares to remember himself.
If Ben wants to save himself and his family, he will have to do everything Simon says.
As the game begins — with stakes much higher than either man can imagine — no one knows where it will lead or how it will end.
Only one thing is for certain: this time the game will change everything.
Man of Wax is 80,000 words long and the first book in a thriller trilogy where every day men and women must fight a power that threatens to destroy the world. Recommended for fans of Harlan Coben, Michael Marshall, and Dean Koontz.
“Man of Wax grabs you by the throat in the first chapter and never lets go. A suspense-filled thrill ride with plenty of shocks along the way. Read it!”
– F. Paul Wilson, author of the Repairman Jack novels
A paperback version of Man of Wax will be available within the next few weeks, but right now the novel is available in all the following digital formats:
(Of course, if you were on my newsletter which I sent out earlier today, you would have gotten a free digital copy of Man of Wax; just sayin'.)
More exciting Man of Wax stuff coming soon ...
