And for those of you who haven't yet had a chance to purchase the book, the store is still open and will remain so. Do pass the word along!! We promise, it's a worthy read :)

To those of you who have helped us and made this day incredibly memorable & meaningful, you have made a dream come true, we hope you will all be so fortunate...

P.S. Here is the link to our Amazon profile page if you want to check out the latest. Please use this rather than the storefront for this purpose, as checking the storefront without purchasing drives our ranking down pretty fast. Muchos gracias!!

Upcoming Ad!

Look for our spanky new upcoming ad in the November & December editions of ForeWord Magazine. Our book is part of their displays, most recently at the Beijing International Trade Fair and soon to be at the Frankfurt Trade Fair. We are doing our best to make this a successful book launch and make great first impressions!

Exciting news from Beijing!!

We were thrilled to hear that there are a few interested parties in China that saw our book on the ForeWord display at the Beijing Trade Fair and are contacting us. We will be getting in touch with them soon and look forward to posting even more exciting news right here on this blog about it :)

Perhaps a book tour to China will be in order one of these days, our fingers are crossed. Our book's been there, now we hope it will be our turn...

We're here!! Amazon.com!

Oh yeah!! We have finally arrived at our Amazon.com destination - and we are thrilled to be there! Check out the link. Our listing is brand spankin' new, so the description and the 'official' cover image will be there shortly (I uploaded a copy of the cover + our totally cool poster there so people would have cool pix to check out).

So, our Amazon.com bestseller day is also coming soon - do stay tuned!!

Fortune Favors the Bold!

...we sure hope!! That's my new fave saying, and I do believe it. It is our modus operandi for launching Secret of the Sands. We are, as always, hard at work getting our book ready to be introduced to the world! We have been getting the book print ready - you know - all that crazy technical stuff <:o ...however, it's all for a good cause - ensuring our book is ready for its debut, readin' & lookin' fine :) It was just sent to China with ForeWord Magazine to be displayed at the Beijing International Trade Fair from Aug.30th-Sept.3rd. In addition, it will soon be making its way to Germany to be a part of the Frankfurt Trade Fair. Wish us luck!

More exciting news: Stay tuned for details on our upcoming September 2007 Amazon.com bestseller day. We will send out announcements very soon, so do check back to our home page & this blog for the specific day, which will be around mid-September. We got this brilliant idea from another author we know who inspires us - Jeremy Robinson. What is an Amazon.com Bestseller day exactly? Well, it's where we will ask you fine folks who are interested in picking up a copy of the book (or copies!!) to buy them all on the same day. Why you ask? Well, it would help concentrate our sales numbers so that we can hit the Amazon radar for that time period and through that help us 'unknowns' raise our profile and get our book in front of more avid readers. Cool, eh?!

Of course, buying our book any time would be wonderful and we will be very, very grateful for each & every sale :)

We will be in touch very soon. We look very forward to the day when you're all curling up with our book and joining us on this unique & special journey - both fictional & real-life.

Until then...

Rai
