Randy Singer is one of our favorite authors! He writes fantastic legal thrillers dealing with interesting issues. So we were really excited to hear about this opportunity:
Beginning today (January 12), readers will have an opportunity to determine the verdict in Randy’s upcoming legal thriller, The Justice Game (Tyndale House, July 2009), which features a court case centered on the gun debate. The verdict voted on by the readers will be written into the story and kept under wraps until the book’s release. This is the first time in recent memory that an author has taken reader involvement and feedback to this level.
“I wanted to do something different and get my readers really involved in the story,” said Singer. “This gives them an opportunity to hear both sides of the national gun debate and gets them thinking. Plus, it adds an element of fun to the book.”
Taking a new approach to the popular book trailer, Singer has produced a short, online video that mimics a cable news report. Featuring real-life talk show host Lorri Allen as the lead news anchor, the video shares the latest updates on the trial at the center of the book interspersed with segments of the closing arguments direct from the courtroom. At the end of the video, viewers are directed to a special section on Singer’s Web site to render their verdict.

Hmmm! I can’t quite decide whether this is a great marketing plan or a gimmick that will ultimately undermine the author’s, er authority over the book. Will be interesting to see what happens!

“The Hong Kong Connection” is a legal thriller about a gutsy female attorney who takes on high ranking International officials. It’s a taut, rollercoaster of a ride from New York to Palm Beach to Washington D.C. to Hong Kong. The plot is expertly woven, the characters persuasive, and the dialogue snappy and spot on.

Ania makes a great point–could this take the story where I don’t want it to go? Given the unique circumstances of this book, I don’t think so. The case at the center of the book is about gun control. And my readers will determine how that case comes out. But the broader issue in the book is whether the lawyers who are trying the case will allow themselves to be manipulated and blackmailed into cheating their clients. Those personal and spiritual struggles will not change regardlss of which way the verdict goes.

Keep up the fantastic work! Look forward to reading more from you in the future. I think it will be also nice if you add “send to email” tool so people can forward the articles to their friends easily.
