Here I am once again; struggling
with the side of the writing business they call marketing and trying to give
reasons why you should all buy my book without making myself sound like the
world’s biggest tosspot.
For starters, I’ll say that Peeper
is dirty; I’m not talking a little suggestive or saucy here, this book is
downright filthy. They say that sex sells, and with that in mind I should be
onto a winner. Peeper tells the story of a man named Jenks, a small time
private investigator who becomes involved with a blackmail plot centered around
the seductive and mysterious Veronica, who drags him ever deeper into her seedy
world. I won’t go into any detail about the scenarios that ensue, but I think
it’s safe to say they are very, very rude.
Have these promises of dirtiness
gotten your attention yet? No? Okay, so maybe I can appeal to you on an
intellectual level; Peeper is based entirely in North Wales, and if – like
myself – you hail from this little corner of the planet and wonder why there is
seldom any representation of us Gogs in the media or art world, then this may
very well be the book for you. The names of the towns and people are made up,
but if you are familiar with this stretch of coastline then you may recognise
the places and the characteristics.
If naughtiness and geography aren’t
floating your boat, then perhaps I could offer you a little voyeurism? The idea
of taking an illicit peep at the secret lives that others keep hidden behind
closed doors is one I’m sure, if we’re honest with ourselves, we all enjoy far
more than we should. Peeper deals with people who like to look, and with people
who like to show.
Are you sold yet? Will you be
purchasing a copy of my book on June 30th? I could lie and claim
that any profit made from sales will go to a good cause, like rescuing blind
donkeys from evil paedophiles or something, but nothing could be further from the truth. This is
purely a capitalistic venture; buy and sell; supply and demand.
Go on, buy it. You know you want
to.
