The Monday Morning Memo


Monday Morning Memo subscribers can read 
Red Chaser for free.  No trick, nothing to buy; I’m just looking for more readers.

My last book, Marketing Outrageously, was a Wall Street Journal best-seller.  As you could expect, my agent and my publisher wanted me to write another marketing book.

What did I do?  I wrote a novel instead
Red Chaser.  It’s a noir thriller of the 1950s, the Cold War and the Brooklyn Dodgers.

My publisher shook his head and said, “Very few writers can cross over from non-fiction to fiction.”

But, most of my reading over the years has been thrillers.  If you spot me in an airport, I wouldn’t be reading a business book.  I’d be reading a thriller.  I wanted to write thrillers.

My publisher shook his head again and said, “Think business books.”

What made
Marketing Outrageously popular, however, were the stories inside the book.  I based those stories on real life business situations.

With
Red Chaser, I also based the story on real life situations.    I did far more research on Red Chaser than any of my non-fiction marketing books.  But, unlike my business books, there is some stuff that is made up in Red Chaser.  That’s what fiction is all about; that’s what makes it fun.

A key marketing tactic for
Marketing Outrageously was to get the book into the hands of business entrepreneurs throughout the country.  This nudged it in to the viral world.  I would like to do the same with Red Chaser.

Just email me (
findjon@msn.com) your email address, and I’ll have Amazon email you the gift certificate to download Red Chaser.

Red Chaser
is a Kindle book; if you don’t have a Kindle, you can download Red Chaser to your PC, Mac, iPhone, iPad or BlackBerry.

Give it a try for free.

Just email me (findjon@msn.com) your email address, and I’ll have Amazon email you the gift certificate to download Red Chaser.

Random Quote:

“And after a long time the boy came back again.

‘I am sorry, boy,’ said the tree, ‘but I have nothing left to give you. My apples are gone.’

‘My teeth are too weak for apples,’ said the boy.

‘My branches are gone,’ said the tree, ‘you cannot swing on them.’

‘I am too old to swing on branches,’ said the boy.

‘My trunk is gone,’ said the tree, ‘you cannot climb.’

‘I am too tired to climb,’ said the boy.

‘I am sorry,’ sighed the tree, ‘I wish I could give you something, but I have nothing left. I am just an old stump. I am sorry.’

‘I don’t need very much now,’ said the boy, ‘just a quiet place to sit and rest. I am very tired.’

‘Well,’ said the tree, straightening herself up as much as she could, ‘ an old stump is good for sitting and resting. Come, boy. Sit down and rest.’

And the boy did.

And the tree was happy.
