Marketing Information, Yucatán Is Murder:
A strong marketing campaign to mystery and independent bookstores, regional chains and online sellers is planned for September through December, 2015, and continuing through the following year. Major trade reviewers will be provided galleys.
Nontraditional sources, such as mystery book catalogues, direct mail, e-mail, Facebook and LinkedIn and others, will be pursued aggressively.
The book will be previewed in an author event at the Murder on the Beach Bookstore, in Delray Beach, FL at 7:00 p.m. on September 18, 2015. The book will be debuted at the Bouchercon conference in Raleigh, NC (Oct. 8-11, 2015), at which Dirk will be a panelist and a one-quarter-page ad will be appearing in the program book.
