INTERVIEW

After your books were released, what was the first thing you did when getting ready for your book launch?

I told my friends about the book.

After that, what was your next step?

I did a virtual book tour after the release.

Did you ever consider using a PR agency to help you promote your book or did you prefer the DIY route?

Other than a virtual book tour, I didn’t use a PR agency.

Were finding reviews a top priority for you and, if yes, how did you approach that? 

Finding reviews was a top priority. I used Google searches and The Book Reviewer Yellow Pages by David Wogahn to find reviewers.

What social media has worked best for you? 

I don’t think social media has worked well for me.

Did you create a book trailer? 

A book trailer was made for my first virtual blog tour.

What was the best money you ever spent on your book launch? 

Sending books to reviewers was money well spent.

Any tips for those authors wanting to set up a successful book launch?  

All my book launches have taken place during COVID, which has been very limiting. I don’t believe any of my launches were particularly successful, so I am reluctant to give advice.

 

BOOK DETAILS

Dr. Erica Rosen is perplexed when she sees a young Chinese girl with blue eyes in her San Francisco pediatrics clinic. The girl’s mother, Ting, is secretive, and Erica suspects she has entered the country illegally. Later, Erica encounters Ting’s son and discovers he has an unusual mutation. Erica learns that Ting’s children underwent embryonic stem cell gene editing as part of a secret Chinese government-run program.

The Chinese government wants to murder Ting’s son to prevent others from learning about his unusual mutation and the secret gene-editing program. At Ting’s urging, Erica heads to China to expose the program and rescue the infant Ting was forced to leave behind, all while attempting to evade the watchful eye of the Chinese government.

Pediatrician Erica Rosen is stymied when two of her patients don’t respond to medicine as expected. When other patients later develop strange, unexpected illnesses, she is determined to get to the bottom of it.

Meanwhile, the department’s newest pediatrician, Dr. Nilsen, appears to be trying to steal her patients. Erica suspects he is after her job as the clinic director. She also discovers Dr. Nilsen has become romantically involved with her trusted assistant, Martha. One evening, while looking for patient information on Martha’s desk, Erica comes across a list with the names of some of her patients. A boy who recently became ill with a mysterious malady is on the list and has an asterisk by his name. What does that mean?

Erica is convinced something nefarious is underfoot, and Dr. Nilsen, rather than simply being after her job, is engaged in a dangerous scheme involving her patients. Unable to recruit the help of law enforcement in a timely manner, she realizes she must take matters into her own hands. As she proceeds with her investigation, she is unaware of the dangers she is about to encounter.
