After reading 13 to Life , I was anxious to find out what would happen to Jess, Pietr, and the rest of the Rusakova family in Secrets and Shadows . How could you not be anxious when you were dealing with werewolves, the CIA, and the Russian Mafia?
Secrets and Shadows is filled with many plot twists and turns, which I was excited about. I definitely didn’t predict many of the turns. Shannon Delany does an excellent job of keeping the reader engaged. The ending completely caught me off guard and I found myself wanting more.

That means that more than 110 web sites, facebook pages, or blogs POSTED the secret codes we passed out and mentioned the books these awesome authors have written. It's impossible to guess how many other people saw these references, but even if you assume a small number per reference, the word of mouth opportunities aren't bad. If each site only had a 10 readers, that's 1100 people who heard about at least one of the books. But if the sites averaged 100 readers, that would be 11000 opportunities to reach new readers. What do you think? Does that surprise you? Clearly online promotion opportunities are out there, and these three awesome authors have given us some great blueprints for helping to build some buzz.

Over 110 people participated in the viral marketing experiment we did last week with Shannon Delany (13 to Life and Secrets and Shadows), Lisa Desrochers (Personal Demons), and Myra McEntire (Hourglass).
