There's a language to traditional publishing, as well as a rigorous schedule of dates, releases, last edits, and marketing guidelines. It's so exciting, and definitely stressful. So what is #salescopy? In short, it's the content at the back of your book.
Here's mine!
(Tagline: In typical serial killer novels, the victims are a footnote. In this book, they’re
the whole story.)
Betty. Tina. Sarah. Leslie. Chrissy. Sheena. Sherry. Lena. Debbie. Ashley.
The ten victims in The Furious Others lived ordinary lives until serial killer Jason
LeDown entered stage left, knife in hand, with a belly full of bad intentions. That’s where
fear is found, in the space between a typical Friday and a man intent on murder. The
fictional characters in The Furious Others depict real people: mothers, lovers, hip-hop
aficionados, and green thumbs, united by the tragedy of lost lives.
Author and clinical psychologist Dr. Ashley Baker PSYD envisions a fictional world
where the murderer is not the main character in the serial killer trope. Instead of
exploring Jason Le Down’s methods of madness, Dr. Baker chooses to honor the
victims rather than romanticize monsters.
As a condition of Jason’s LeDown’s purgatory, those he harmed reflect on their
humanity, proving they’re more than crime scene photos or roadside crosses. In this
multiple point of view novel, the deceased blaze a fast-paced trail, recounting their last
moments, with tentacles of grief stretching across timelines.
In this book, Dr. Baker, drawing from her own experience of devastating loss, paints a
vivid picture of collective trauma and sorrow. The quest for closure drives the story to its
gripping conclusion, making The Furious Others a powerful testament to the strength of
the human spirit.
I hope this makes you want to pick up and read more! :) It typically is limited to 150-250 words, and I capped mine at 200- so right in the middle.
