Influencer List for Exposure

When your worst fear comes true ...
---------------
Exposure, my next stand-alone adult suspense, releases in two weeks. Time once again to put together an influencer list.

In return for a free copy of Exposure an influencer agrees to help spread the word online and in person about the book. I'm looking for folks who can reach a good number of listeners. An influencer is asked to write an honest review for online bookstores--without giving away plot points of the story. Beyond that here are some other ways an influencer might help publicize the book:

1. Recommend it to your book discussion group.
2. Recommend it for your public/church library.
3. Post your review on your own blog.
4. Twitter about the book/put a note about it on your Facebook page.
5. Tell bookstore employees about the book and suggest they recommend it to suspense lovers.
6. Encourage your friends to read it/buy a copy.

You get the idea. All of these recommendations, of course, must be honest. If you don't like the book and can't recommend it--don't.

Influencer books come straight from the publisher so slots on the list are limited. If you're interested in being considered for the list, please e-mail me and tell me how you would publicize the book and what kind of following you have (online and by word of mouth). Have some bright idea I haven't mentioned? I'd love to hear it. Past influencers still need to e-mail me; with each release the list is started over. E-mail at: brandilyn (at) brandilyncollins (dot) com. Make sure to include your street address.

Behind the Scenes Look at Exposure

My Seatbelt Suspense brand means a fast start, fast pace, high stakes, emotive characterization, and plenty of twists. With each novel I work hard to meet the standards of my brand. But a good suspense is more than a tension-filled story. A good suspense says something about life, about our human condition--physically, emotionally, spiritually. It's a story that takes you to the depths, then brings you out with something to cling to.

So--what do you fear? More important, how much do those fears hold you back? That was the underlying question in my mind as I wrote Exposure. We all face fear--usually in a multiplicity of forms. Not until I wrote Exposure did I realize the extent to which those fears can bind us.

Fun fact: You long-term readers of F&F know my fear of the dentist. You can find my "World's Worst Dental Patient" story here in the archives. Some of that story made its way into this book.

From the back cover

Someone is stalking Kaycee Raye. But who will believe her? Everyone knows she’s a little crazy. Kaycee’s popular syndicated newspaper column pokes fun at her own paranoia and multiple fears. The police in her small town are well aware she makes money writing of her experiences. Worse yet, she has no proof of the threats. Pictures of a dead man mysteriously appear in her home—then vanish before police arrive. Multisensory images flood Kaycee’s mind. Where is all this coming from?

Maybe she is going over the edge.

High action and psychological suspense collide in this story of terror, twists, and desperate faith. The startling questions surrounding Kaycee pile high. Her descent to answers may prove more than she can survive.
