Looking for BookBub Followers

Trying to keep up with social media drives authors crazy. I mean, most of us are introverts, right? What we really want to do is write our stories. Problem is, no one will ever read those stories if we don’t promote our work.

I’ve found that I’ve been neglecting a very important resource – BookBub. BookBub is a free service to help readers find the books they like to read as well as giving authors a way to publicize their work. It has millions of subscribers, so it’s not a resource any author should neglect.

I’m asking my followers to please follow me on BookBub by clicking the link below. I’ll definitely be repeating this call to action on all my other social media platforms, so don’t be cross with me when you see the repetition.

Trafficked! Pre-order Opens Tomorrow on Amazon

After much work and worry, the new Natalie McMasters Mystery, Trafficked!, will be available for pre-order on Amazon tomorrow, March 1.


So why should you pre-order Trafficked! tomorrow instead of waiting until the April 1 release date to buy one?

  • Your copy of Trafficked! will automatically be delivered to your Kindle on April 1
  • You’ll be among the first to read the eagerly anticipated new Natalie McMasters novel
  • A preorder generates visibility for a book before it’s launched. Advertising the pre-order will create a buzz and build excitement, which will hopefully be reflected in its sales during launch week.
  • The preorder will give readers a chance to read the earlier books in the series before the new book comes out
  • Because all of the pre-order sales for the month of March will be credited to me on April 1, Trafficked! will jump in Amazon’s best seller lists, which will increase the visibility of the book

So please go to https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07P7WYZM6/ref=sr_1_fkmrnull_1?keywords=thomas+burns+trafficked&qid=1551298196&s=gateway&sr=8-1-fkmrnull and pre-order Trafficked! today

The Launch of Trafficked! is Coming!

The newest Natalie McMasters Mystery, Trafficked! will be launched on April 1, 2019, with pre-orders beginning on Amazon on March 1. Trafficked! is presently in the final editing phase, and the ARCs will be sent out to the reviewers in late February. I am gratified by the response to my call for reviewers – there are still a few spots left on the launch team, so if you want in, drop me a line.

Here is the final back cover blurb for Trafficked!:

Bullet wounds heal, but a broken heart is something else entirely. Natalie McMasters is twenty, short and blonde (OK, it’s bleached), a way cute former stripper and a pre-law student at State. Nattie also works as a private detective at her uncle’s 3M detective agency. After her last case, in which she was nearly killed, she’s faced with a new, daunting challenge. She must trace the most important person in her life – who doesn’t want to be found – through the squalid sexworld of New York City. Even with help from old and new friends, Natalie will need more persistence and courage than she’s ever shown before if she is to prevail in her most difficult and personal challenge. Trafficked! – A Natalie McMasters Mystery is full of the action, suspense, and unexpected plot twists that Nattie’s many fans thrive on. You totally won’t be disappointed!
