Marketing and Promotion for my forthcoming Sci-Fi/Adventure series - Bioweapon (Self-Published through Xlibris)

This series is for me a social commentary almost five full years in the making. I have embedded my ideas, beliefs, knowledge, and the furthest reaches of my imagination into this project. I hope you can get something out of it.

See - http://www.jkbowden.net  for further information.

I have published this series of novels at my own expense (approx. $5000)  but without a strong marketing presence this series could go unnoticed amidst the plethora of novels cashing in on the science-fiction theme. I am running my own marketing currently, but have investigated a number of options and the reality is that it is expensive. There are some examples at the end of this page.

The Bioweapon series begins here. The world depicted within is a frightening but increasingly plausible dystopian take on current developments in politics and science.

Blurb:

In the world of tomorrow peace reigns: but at a terrible price. The internet now binds people in a state of unified progress, achieved through a microchipped population who have been united in the face of destruction, and bent to the will of an insidious secret society who control every inch of the planet from the shadows.

Those who have rejected the all-powerful New World Order are forced to flee to the most unliveable parts of the Earth, and are branded as rebels and secretly hunted to extinction. Their only hope lies in the incredible scientists who are at the forefront of the rebellion, and the deadly bioweapons they create.

Meanwhile, Leah Sudeski, a London based private journalist, stumbles onto some shocking evidence that changes everything she has ever known about the ‘peaceful’ society she was born and raised in. Desperate for the truth she begins an impossible mission, aided by the rebels, in order to bring Truth and Freedom back to humanity.

Marketing Costs:

Published since 1930, Analog Science Fiction and Fact is one of the most enduring and popular magazines of science fiction. Its editorial emphasis is on realistic stories that reflect high standards of scientific accuracy, imagination, and lively articles about current research on the frontiers of real science. A recurrent theme in both fiction and provocative opinion columns is the human impact of science and technology. ANALOG has won numerous Nebula, Hugo, and other awards acknowledging it as a leading periodical in the field.

Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine has published outstanding short fantasy and science fiction by today’s leading authors for over 30 years. It continues to showcase stories that are innovative, entertaining, and have won numerous Hugo and Nebula Awards. In addition to fiction, readers stay informed about SF and fantasy through a monthly editorial column, an Internet column, insightful book reviews, and thought-provoking articles about science and science fiction.
