The Moment of Maximum Anticipation and Optimism - Andrew Crofts
By the time I write my next Authors
Electric blog my latest novel “What Lies Around Us” will be out, so at the time
of writing I am watching as the publisher, (Red Door) and PR company, (Emma
Finnigan), build up a head of steam.
The book has started to exist in
the on-line world. If you google the title it comes up for sale in any number
of different outlets, even though it is not out officially until June 13th.
The cover art pops up at the click of a button and advance copies have gone out to book bloggers, reviewers and all the rest.

What Lies Around Us by Andrew Crofts
Early reviews have started to
appear on Goodreads already, so I am able to start extracting the juiciest
phrases for the website, (and below) - and for future use on paperbacks etc.
I love this moment in the process
when anticipation and optimism are high, before the backlash arrives.
