Check out the new, improved and cheaper ($7.99) mass market edition of
Antarktos Rising. It came out AMAZING!
WHAT I LIKE TO READ:
I'm often asked what books/authors I would recommend
from readers who have read all of my books and are looking for more good
reads. If you're one of those folks and are looking for a good read, I
have provided my top 40 picks for novels by some of my favorite
authors. Enjoy.
And just like you, every Spring when the new round of awesomeness hits store shelves I find myself with a lot of unanswered questions. What are the release dates for the books I’m already itching to read? Who are the new authors I should check out? What are the stories about? Will my book choices be in hardcover or paperback? And how much money do I need to shell out?
But fear not! A solution is at hand. I contacted some of my favorite authors who have books coming out this Spring. We have banded together to create and promote a detailed catalog of the novels we all think are worth snagging whilst the tulips bloom and the migratory birds head north. You will recognize some of our names. Some of us might be new to you. But all of us are worth reading, I promise.
Authors included: Jeremy Robinson (duh), JA Konrath, Steve Alten, David Moody, Blake Crouch, Scott Sigler, Thomas Greanias and Jonathan Maberry.
So take a gander, mark off which books tickle your fancy and print out the checklist at the end of the PDF. Organizing your Springtime book buying has never been easier.
Be sure to forward the catalog to your friends and help spread the literary pollen.
Today is the day! Antarktos Rising is out and the bestseller campaign is officially underway! So head on over to Amazon.com between 12 noon and 1pm Eastern time, using the link below, and pick up your copy! Better yet, pick up copies for every novel reader you know. Take care of upcoming birthdays and next Christmas all at once! If you cannot by the book at that time, still buy it on the 1st (or even at a later date if necessary). It will still help! *There is a good chance Amazon will run out of stock, but order anyway. The book will go out within days (even if Amazon says it will take 4 - 6 weeks). Here's the link.
Please forward this e-mail to everyone you know...on the planet! As an underdog in the publishing world I need all the help I can get! Hitting the Amazon.com bestseller list will help change that, but I can't do it without you. Assuming you all will forward the heck out of this e-mail, I've provided links to two advanced reviews along with the newly updated video trailer—for those unfamiliar with the book. I've also provided a "time-zone buy time chart" for folks not on the East coast.
As always, thanks for your help! Any success I achieve now or in the future is thanks to you.

"Apocalypse comes to Antarctica. Jeremy Robinson balances Biblical speculation upon a dagger-edge of suspense and adventure. With Antarktos Rising , Robinson opens a new dark continent of terror. Trespass at your own risk." -- James Rollins, New York Times bestselling author of Black Order and The Judas Strain
"An awesome journey into the beating heart of a legend. Jules Verne would be proud." -- Stel Pavlou, bestselling author of DECIPHER and GENE
A fast-paced chiller that delves into new possibilities about our future...and past." --Steve Alten, best-selling author of MEG and The SHELL GAME
"How do you find an original story idea in the crowded action-thriller genre? Two words: Jeremy Robinson. Antartkos combines history, science and myth about Antarctica to create a jaw-dropping concept so real it will have you Googling like mad to learn more after the story is finished." -- Scott Sigler, bestselling author of ANCESTOR and EARTHCORE
The catch-phrase for the new Antarktos Rising video marketing campaign is catching on. The first video has been seen 3000 times now in its first week. Not quite "viral" status, but the clicks are still coming through and video #2 is now up!
In addition to the first video doing well, a nice side effect of its release occured. Book sales for Raising the Past and Didymus Contingency rose dramatically on the day of the first video's release and the few days following it. Didymus Contingency became an Amazon Canada bestseller (ranked 47 overall and #1 in its categories) and Raising the Past came in at 100 on Amazon Germany, just squeaking into the bestseller list.
Similar results are happening tonight as well with the release of video #2...which you can watch, right here!
Remember, buy Antarktos Rising on August 1, 2007. Help the little guy stand up to the big guns and make the book an Amazon.com bestseller!
What the heck is an Amazon.com bestseller campaign? Here's the deal. I need everyone to buy my book from Amazon.com on August 1, 2007 (the book's official release date). The purpose? If everyone buys the book on August 1, it will be launched to the Amazon bestseller list. Why is this important? Beyond being able to say, "I'm an Amazon.com bestseller," being on the list attracts a lot of attention from readers (which in turn sells more books) the media (which can generate more sales) and from larger publishers (who can make a deal on future books...and sell more books). See where this is going? Basically, it's a good way to get noticed...and sell more books.
Is there a moral reason for taking up the cause? Absolutely! My books are published by Breakneck Books, a small indie publisher and we want to show the corporate publishing giants that the little guy can even the playing field. We're the underdog. This is Smurfette going up against Gargamel and I need a few good Smurfs to join the fight. Help defeat corporate America...at least for a few says. How's that for moral? So smurf the power and buy the book on August 1st!
In the next few weeks I'll be uploading several viral video ads that promote the campaign and a podcast preview of the first six chapters to Antarktos Rising. I'll post links to all of that, once they're available. Thanks for taking up the cause!

INTERVIEWS
Here are some links to
interviews I've done, past and present--newest on top.
I'm a huge fan of the genre I write,
and read books by the following authors like they were my Grandma
Vincent's homemade chocolate bon-bons on Christmas Eve. If
you're a fan of any of these authors, you'll feel right at home
within the pages of my books.
jamesrollins.com - My favorite
author, and my biggest supporter, James Rollins, bestselling author
of BLACK ORDER and THE JUDAS STRAIN can do no wrong in my book. I've
been a fan since reading SUBTERRANEAN maybe seven years ago.
prestonchild.com - Douglas
Preston and Lincoln Child are the fantastic writing duo that brought
us THE RELIC, DEEP STORM and BOOK OF THE DEAD. Whether they're
writing together or solo, these guys don't miss.
matthewreilly.com - Matthew Reilly's novels are basically
action-adventure/thrillers on speed. I love his creative and his
non-stop pace. His first novel, CONTEST is not only my favorite
of his, but it was also originally self-published...no wonder I
like him!
stevealten.com - Steve Alten thinks big...big creatures
that is. I discovered his books about two years ago and read one
after the other until I ran out, finishing with THE LOCH, which
I have to admit was a major inspiration (along with his MEG
series) for the novel I just finished writing. I am now proud to
say that I am publishing the next book in the MEG series, HELL'S
AQUARIUM through my publishing company, Variance.
crichton-official.com - Not including
his two most recent book, Michael Crichton is the master of science
based thrillers. JURASSIC PARK, THE LOST WORLD, TIMELINE, SPHERE and
PREY all rank among my favorite novels.
scottsigler.com Scott is not only a cool guy, but he
also writes awesome novels. Ancestor, which I blurbed, is one of
my favorite new novels. Look for his future books, INFESTED and
NOCTURNAL from Crown Books.
jackdubrulbooks.com - When you're looking for action
adventure novels, Jack DuBrul's character, Phillip Mercer, can't
be beat. And now that DuBrul is teaming up with the granddaddy
of the genre, Clive Cussler, we'll be seeing a lot more from
him.
stelpavlou.com - Not only is Stel a stand up Brit and a
really nice guy, but he's also written one of the finest books
of the last 10 years. DECIPHER is an amazing and smart thriller.
