1. Write another book, for Pete's sake

Today, I have the pleasure of featuring a guest post by Stephen Tremp. Stephen is the author of a science-fiction trilogy that incorporates wormholes, proposed theories of physics, and scientific discoveries. Being a fan of science, and that which might be, I look forward to reading all three of Stephen Tremp's books.


Okay, now on to a very interesting guest post:

Write another book, for Pete's sake
Stephen Tremp

Some of the best advice I’ve heard in a while came from one of my Yahoo! Writers Groups. The discussion was promoting your book:

Member Post: You can definitely promote too much and people get sick of hearing about the author and the book. Especially if it's always the same title. I just roll my eyes and say, "Write another book, for Pete's sake"!

Member Response: I agree! Talk about something besides YOUR book or YOUR writing, whether you are touring or not. Remember human nature - people don't care about YOU, they care about THEM.

Simple, yet powerful. Fortunately, I’m almost finished with the drafts for the next two installments in the Breakthrough trilogy entitled Opening and Escalation. Honestly, I am tired of talking about Breakthrough. However, I will discuss the promotional and sales aspects of Breakthrough during the next few months, what works and what doesn’t work, as this falls under the “Remember human nature - people don't care about YOU, they care about THEM" catagory.

I did a Blog Book Tour last November and did not do much in the way of promoting Breakthrough simply because most people are familiar with it. Instead, I focused on relevant and practical topics people can use for themselves. This being said, I thought I would take a moment to promote my trilogy in its entirety. Each book is written as a stand alone story, yet there is still plenty unresolved conflict that readers will want to buy the next installment. In a nutshell, the three books compromise the following concepts:

Breakthrough: A scientific discovery of such magnitude it could radically alter the future of humanity – for better or worse – is in the wrong hands. A breakthrough in Einstein-Rosen Bridges, or wormholes, is stolen by a group of misguided M.I.T. graduate students and used to assassinate global figures. As the death toll mounts, will Protagonist Chase Manhattan escape their hit list and stop more murders?

Opening: Wormholes are just the beginning. They are the key that opens Pandora’s box. More proposed theories of physics (theories physicists propose may be true but have yet to verify under rigorous testing) are introduced. Faith and science collide with cataclysmic results.

Escalation: Events escalate on a global scale. In the end, technology has gone too far mankind and is not ready for one of the greatest scientific discoveries in the history of mankind. Will Chase be able to destroy the discovery which threatens life as we know it?

I'm fort
