Just Only Slightly

  Book Cover



In this fictional comedy, the author paints a vivid picture of the humdrum life of main character, Paul Talkachev, a down-on-his luck guy living in New Jersey who discovers he is telekinetic. He can move and change objects without touching them and this is just the beginning as Paul sets out on a path of discovery and adventure. Landon’s book can be purchased at T16, the publisher’s new book buying website: https://t16books.com/.

“I set out to create a fun, voyeuristic story about Paul’s life with its blunders, adventures, small successes, and friendships,” said Landon, who served in the U.S. Navy and has been a day trader, merchant mariner, locksmith and writer. “This story is a dark comedy banking on nervous energy amply supplied by Paul and the interactions of a man slowly dripping into madness trying to negotiate other people’s feelings and desires.”

A colorful cast of characters surround main character Paul. Lurch and Stephens, wealthy eccentrics, are on an all-out search for other “Exceptionals” with powers to join forces and conquer the world. O’kiki, another quirky “Exceptional,” enters the picture early on, and she becomes Paul’s partner as they attempt to fight crime, pull off a robbery, and find ways to use their power for good.

“P.B.’s story is such a fun and entertaining read,” said Chris Schafer, CEO at Tactical 16 Publishing. “His main character, Paul, will make you laugh and cry all at the same time. Paul is so easy to relate to, and the story is a great escape from the everyday routine into a world of fantasy and mayhem!”

Landon lives in New Jersey and greatly enjoys telling stories about everyday occurrences that put his audience at the scene. His second book in the series is in the works and will be published soon as well.

Trapped in Education: From leadership to running out of the classroom, a teacher's true tale from burnout to recovery

book. cover

Trapped in Education:

From leadership to running out of the classroom, a teacher's true tale from burnout to recovery


I qualified as a teacher in 2004, the days of the numeracy and literacy hour. I have 20 successful years in education and have been fortunate to work in around 10 different schools.

However, during and after the COVID-19 pandemic, my world turned upside down. Having gone into isolation for two years, I returned to work and suffered chronic stress, post-traumatic stress disorder, dissociation, amnesia and depression. I suffered from losing my short-term memory and was referred to a neurologist, who told me that I had reached chronic burnout and "broke my brain"! In this autobiography, I describe my mental health episode and my recovery: from going into therapy, meeting a medium, having an awakening from spiritual healing and re-framing my brain through hypnotherapy. This is my journey.

I hope this story gives those who are struggling with mental health the strength to overcome their challenges.

The Importance of Starting Christmas Book Promotion Early: A Strategic Guide for Authors

 



The Importance of Starting Christmas Book Promotion Early: A Strategic Guide for Authors

As the holiday season approaches, many authors may feel the pressure to promote their books to capitalize on the gift-giving frenzy. Christmas presents the perfect opportunity for book lovers and gift buyers to discover new titles, whether they're shopping for friends, family, or themselves. However, like many things in life, timing is everything. Starting your Christmas book promotion early can make all the difference between a successful holiday season and one that misses its mark. Here's why you should begin your festive marketing efforts well in advance:

1. Beat the Holiday Noise

The Christmas season is notoriously busy in the marketing world. Every brand, author, and creator is competing for attention. Starting early gives your book a chance to be seen before the onslaught of holiday advertisements fills everyone's inbox and social feeds. By the time the holiday rush is in full swing, potential buyers may already have your book in mind because you've been quietly (but consistently) promoting it for weeks.

2. Build Momentum with Time

Promoting a book isn't just about slapping a discount on it and sending out a single email. It takes time to build momentum. Early promotions allow you to create a strategy that unfolds over several weeks. You can introduce teasers, sneak peeks, special holiday editions, or bundled offers to keep interest growing. Slow and steady marketing helps your book stay top of mind as Christmas approaches, giving it the best chance to become a sought-after gift.

3. More Time for Book Reviews and Word of Mouth

If you start your Christmas promotions early, you give readers the chance to discover, read, and review your book before the season is in full swing. Positive reviews and word-of-mouth recommendations can be your best marketing tools, but they take time to build. Reaching out to book bloggers, influencers, and early readers in October or November ensures that your book will have reviews circulating by the time shoppers start making their lists.

4. Leverage Special Holiday Offers

Holiday marketing often includes special deals like discounts, limited-time offers, or exclusive content. Starting early allows you to plan and spread these promotions out to create sustained interest in your book. Rather than running one last-minute holiday sale, you can entice readers with pre-Christmas offers like Black Friday or Cyber Monday deals, as well as more niche promotions like "12 Days of Christmas" bundles.

5. Create Buzz with Holiday-Themed Content

When you start your promotion early, you have more time to engage readers with holiday-themed content. Whether it's a festive short story based on your book, a holiday reading guide, or a giveaway that ties into the Christmas spirit, early promotions give you time to create content that connects with the season. You can also align your social media campaigns, blogs, and email newsletters with the holiday vibe to create a warm and inviting atmosphere for your audience.

6. Take Advantage of Media and Press Opportunities

Journalists and media outlets start looking for holiday-related content and recommendations as early as September and October. If you want your book featured in holiday gift guides, interviews, or podcasts, you need to get your pitches out early. By getting ahead of the game, you increase the chances of your book being highlighted in these valuable spots, reaching readers who may not have discovered it otherwise.

7. Give Yourself Time to Plan and Adjust

Promoting a book during the holidays can be overwhelming, especially if you're juggling other responsibilities like writing your next project. Starting early gives you the time and flexibility to plan your campaigns, test different strategies, and adjust as needed. You won't feel the same pressure to rush through everything, and your promotions will likely be more effective as a result.

8. Extend the Shopping Season

Not everyone waits until Christmas Eve to buy gifts (though some do). Many people start shopping for the holidays as early as October. Early promotion means your book will be visible to these early-bird shoppers, who often appreciate getting their holiday lists checked off in advance. By starting early, you're effectively extending the holiday shopping season for your book and increasing its chances of being purchased.

9. Stay Ahead of Shipping Delays

With the rise of online shopping, shipping delays during the holiday season have become a common problem. Starting your promotion early encourages readers to purchase your book before the shipping window gets tight. This is especially important if you're offering signed copies or special editions that may take longer to fulfill.

10. Less Stress for You

Finally, starting early means less stress for you as an author. By spacing out your promotions and marketing efforts, you can avoid the last-minute scramble that often accompanies holiday sales. You'll have time to refine your messaging, test different ads, and ensure that everything is running smoothly without the pressure of a looming deadline.

Conclusion: Don't Wait, Start Today

The holiday season is a golden opportunity for authors to showcase their books, but only if you're prepared. By starting your Christmas book promotion early, you'll avoid the chaos of the holiday rush, build meaningful engagement with your audience, and give your book the best chance to become a Christmas bestseller. So don’t wait—start planning your promotions today and set yourself up for a successful holiday season!
