The Joys of Marketing

Reading about this contest gave me a great chuckle this morning. I kept thinking what a great marketing ploy for an author who really doesn't need it. The contest is for Stephen King's latest entry in the Dark Tower series "The Wind Through the Key Hole". All you have to do is send your picture to Facebook and it might be one of a thousand that will be selected to grace the back cover of the book. Great, right? People will be buying the book to see if they made the cover :) Plus one winner will be selected to win some Stephen Kings books. You can check out all the details here http://hellnotes.com/the-face-through-the-key-hole Deadline is January 23.

I uploaded my photo last night because the idea totally tickled me. The idea of being part of a Stephen King project...who can resist?
