Curtis Bunn July eNewsletter:  "That Was Then This Is Now"
Dear friend and reader:

     I have dedicated this entire newsletter to my new book, "That Was Then This Is Now," because it is a work that entertains, touches all the emotions and teaches -- all the elements a reader should get out of a novel. And it's sexy, too. I am proud of it.
     The story of Larry, Greg and Julian -- three men who cannot get out of their own way in relationships with women -- was a national success when first introduced in my debut novel, "Baggage Check."
     Years later, they are back in this sequel, smarter, wiser and more committed -- yet still challenged emotionally, ethically, morally. It is a fun, exciting, captivating journey. Feel free to order it today at www.curtisbunn.com to be entertained and enlightened.
How To Add This Book To Your Collection
Bunn signingThe best-sellers list matters to most, and probably would matter more to me if my first novel, "Baggage Check" had not been No. 1 on the Essence list and in the top 5 for five months. With "That Was Then This Is Now," the intent is to reach even more readers, but with no focus on making lists. The idea with this book is to connect with the readers through my website. That is why the ONLY place to order the book is on my website, www.curtisbunn.com. It will allow me to create a database of readers and ultimately offer specials in the future. All books will be signed by me before shipped (unless otherwise indicated). The publishing industry has its issues, and for an author, it can be good business to publish your own work, control content, cover and reap more of a financial reward. So, order away!!!
How To Be A Part Of Something Special Through Sharing
ComputerMarketing and advertising are critical to an author getting word out about his product. But there is nothing more powerful than word of mouth. That's what made "Baggage Check" so popular and the same will happen with "That Was Then This Is Now" -- with your help. If you enjoy the book and get something out of it, it's only right to spread the word about it. Right? That's what authors depend on -- a reader telling a reader, who tells another reader and on and on. With the help of the Internet (e-mails, blogs, Facebook), this book -- and any good book -- can gain much national traction through readers sharing the word. So, share away!!! And I love to meet with book clubs, so let's make that happen, too.
So there you have it. Well, at least some of it. All the really good stuff rests on the pages of "That Was Then This Is Now." Thanks in advance so much for helping make this book a hot read throughout the country.

Peace and blessings,

CURTIS
