The second book is on it's way too ... so no need to wait to read what happens to the boys next!<BR/><BR/>As for the promo idea ... I had originally intended the jump drives to be for those behind-the-scenes guys who buy the book from the publisher and then stock their shelves. BUT taking into consideration the things the publisher said, I can see how her ideas would be better. I feel confident I could design a fun interactive program for the drive filled with all sorts of activities for kids. And I loved the idea of including some extra short stories in there too. <BR/><BR/>Guess I'd better get crackin' at finding a publisher for this thing, eh?<BR/><BR/>Thanks again!ali crosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13023009704454279645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25573541.post-62660285401105037282007-07-03T03:46:00.000-06:002007-07-03T03:46:00.000-06:00Just thinking of something ... you said you'd prov...Just thinking of something ... you said you'd provide <I>all</I> the buyers with this jump drive thing, right? So if somebody bought it off the internet, it would be included in the package? Or could they have the possibility of asking you, the author, for the promo piece once they can prove to you that they've bought the book? They could answer a question or forward their e-mail ordering form, or whatever, and then you'd send the jump drive in the mail?<BR/><BR/>Just wondering.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25573541.post-18243023953461282952007-07-03T00:48:00.000-06:002007-07-03T00:48:00.000-06:00Being a bear of very little brain, at least in the...Being a bear of very little brain, at least in the area of technology, I don't know what a "jump drive" is, but from the pitch and the comments, it sounds like a good idea! The marketing campaign definitely fits the theme of the book -- which sounds very exciting, by the way -- and I love the assurances that the next book in the series is already on its way. The Gravitron game will definitely get the attention of boys, even those who don't consider themselves readers. This idea gets my vote!<BR/><BR/>Melanie GoldmundAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25573541.post-55656651909267684272007-07-02T17:40:00.000-06:002007-07-02T17:40:00.000-06:00This book has my vote!

I think this could have potential to become a modern "Hardy Boys" style series in a sci-fi/modern setting. I think it's been too long since there was a good series that captured the imagination of young kids and the infinite adventures that await one in outer space. <BR/><BR/>Being a computer guy I love the idea of a free thumb-drive or as the marketing idea puts it "Jump Drive" as it's also known to many of us geeks. It immediately brings to mind the title of the book. The gizmo would be useful and not likely to be garbaged or left in a drawer like a keychain. It would be a really good way to get new chapters and other book teasers on someone's computer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25573541.post-89237988817362526532007-07-01T15:49:00.000-06:002007-07-01T15:49:00.000-06:00Sounds interesting.
