<p>Dangerous things happen in Africa.</p>
<p>People disappear.</p>
<p>Everybody knows that.</p>
<p>But as an outsider, Paul thinks he is safe, even from the secret police, whatever he starts to find, or wherever it leads. But when he finds himself holding a deadly secret as the country begins to implode how safe is he? And what will he be prepared to do to protect those around him?</p>
<p>After all, everyone knows <em>wazungu</em> cannot just disappear – not at least without a good explanation being provided to the authorities.</p>
<p>Everybody knows that – don’t they?</p>
<p><strong>Africa noir – not the book to take as your safari holiday reading!</strong></p>

I watched a great video from Seth Godin about marketing his books. (<a href="http://www.sethgodin.com">www.sethgodin.com</a> and <a href="http://www.writerunboxed.com">www.writerunboxed.com</a>) He offers the first 100 pages free and inserts in several spots in the email copy to readers, an offer to buy the print book. He figures they will either get tired reading the email or like the book enough to buy it. My book is coming out in print in Sept, 2010. In the meantime, what about selling it as…
I watched a great video from Seth Godin about marketing his books. (<a href="http://www.sethgodin.com">www.sethgodin.com</a> and <a href="http://www.writerunboxed.com">www.writerunboxed.com</a>) He offers the first 100 pages free and inserts in several spots in the email copy to readers, an offer to buy the print book. He figures they will either get tired reading the email or like the book enough to buy it. My book is coming out in print in Sept, 2010. In the meantime, what about selling it as an ebook with a similar offer as Seth's? I'm thinking it may get some books pre-sold before the launch and build buzz. Any advice or ideas? thanks for the help, Colin Cuban Crime fiction writer Amir Valle exiledtag:crimespace.ning.com,2008-01-03:537324:Topic:1102632008-01-03T01:11:52.506ZJames K.

This may be 6-month old news to some, but I just came across it.

<br />
The upshot is that Sr. Valle follows a long line of Cuban artists and writers persecuted for their art (including a personal favorite, G. Cabrera Infante). Amir Valle is currently a guest of the German P.E.N, but it sounds like a difficult life, and he is cut off from most family members.<br />
<br />
I'm not sure what to suggest, except buying and reading his books, but any comments and ideas are welcome.<br />

Best wishes for the New Year, and long live free speech! Jim
