Larry Laswell Offers Pre-Launch Promotions for New Novel Vows to the Fallen
Author and Navy veteran Larry Laswell announces the launch of his new book, Vows to the Fallen, along with several promotional events and contests over the next month.
INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA, July 2, 2015 (Newswire.com) - Marshell Publishing announced today a series of events and promotions leading up to the launch of Larry Laswell’s newest novel, Vows to the Fallen, a techno-thriller detailing the emotional journey of a naval officer and his crew. Some of the events leading up to the book’s launch include the release of the first chapter of the novel on his website, www.larrylaswell.com, a pre-release sales price of 99 cents for the Amazon Kindle version, and several contests and giveaways throughout July and August.
Some of the upcoming contests include:
Chronologically, Vows to the Fallen begins right after my first book, The Marathon Watch, but it's a Marathon prequel. It is a story within a story, like Saving Private Ryan. The inner story is about a naive young Lieutenant O'Toole thrust into bloody battle during World War II. Events traumatize him, and leave him wondering who he is, and wondering how, as an officer, he can live with ordering men to their deaths. In the end, he becomes a hardened warrior without compromising his principles, or losing his connection to his men.
