Jonas Watcher
It is difficult to get activity for a relatively new writer especially one who is self-published. There is no money machine behind the marketing of a new writer of mystery or detective adventure novels. I have had two book signings in my hometown and they have been successful in that I have personally received feedback that has been very positive. I must be one on the best kept secrets of the genre.
My next step, other than working on book three (book 2 is also available at Amazon.com), is to try and generate some interest in the film capital of the world, or the USA. It is a long shot at best, but I know a filmmaker and I asked her for some guidance in this, and the following is my first step into that world. I have purchased a screenwriting book called "Save the Cat" and I have created a description that I hope will garner attention. The thing is how to go about it, so an entry in my blog and as I try to get it out through social media, I hope others will share this. Here is the write-up.
Synopsis: The Case of the Running Bag follows Jonas Watcher from being a derelict, hung over on the wharf, and almost killed to being given a second chance. When he discovers “The Running Bag” it provides him with direction that leads him deeper into trouble and the tools to redeem himself as an investigator.
Know a filmmaker, please pass this on.
