My last book, Marketing Outrageously, was a Wall Street Journal best-seller.  As you could expect, my agent and my publisher want me to write another marketing book. 

What did I do?  I wrote a novel instead.  Red Chaser, a novel about the 1950s, the Cold War and the Brooklyn Dodgers.

My publisher shook his head and said, “Very few writers can cross over from non-fiction to fiction.”

But, most of my reading over the years have been thrillers.  If you spot me in an airport, I won’t be reading a business book.  I’d be reading a thriller.  I want to write thrillers.

My publisher shook his head again and said, “Think business books.”

What made Marketing Outrageously popular, however, were the stories inside the book.  I based those stories on real life business situations.  With Red Chaser, I base the story on real life situations.    I did far more research on Red Chaser than any of my three non-fiction books.  But, unlike my business books, there is some (a lot) stuff that is made up in Red Chaser.  That’s what fiction is all about; that’s what makes it fun.

So, I’ve published Red Chaser on Amazon Kindle.  You can be a judge and jury on whether I should keep writing fiction.  Here's my email address: findjon@msn.com.  You can tell me straight out whether you liked Red Chaser or not.
