"The Bootlegger.." has proved extremely popular with female readers. We wonder whether it's the themes of Friendship/Loyalty/Love/ and Sacrifice that particularly appeals, as well as the action and plot.

Chicago is a city already deep in corruption. Gangs of Irish and Italians vie for control and when the Volstead Act is passed in 1920, new opportunities for criminal enterprises are seized. Sean O’Leary arrived in Chicago several years earlier, starting with his journey from poor immigrant rising....

There's been some confusion over two writers with the same name. Our Keith Lawson lives in Dorset and has written 3 books of Speedway history, two crime novels and one novella.
The other Keith has 12 books published and is not affiliated in any way to Badman Publishing.

As 2024 ambles to its end, we look back on the year and what Badman has been able to give to the community. We’ve donated prizes for raffles to two schools and a dance troupe aiming to compete in America, educational toys and stationery to a SEN school and an Infants school, warm clothing for rough sleepers, and sponsor Poole RFC Juniors as well as providing raffle prizes, and an auction raised £75 for the Royal British Legion.
All this was only possible because people buy the books of our authors. So, if looking for Christmas presents for that bookworm in your life, head to Amazon (or any good bookstore) and buy a copy or two.
If money is tight, head to a BCP library and borrow one.
The Bootlegger of Illinois. DCI Harry Morgan: Casebook (set in Dorset).
Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year.

"Resurrection Walk" (Michael Connelly Books
Absolutely cracking. A courtroom drama interspersed with action scenes. A great pairing of Mickey Haller and Harry Bosch, two great creations of Michael Connelly. Draws you in by caring for the people, a spiffing plot about innocent people in prison and one in particular, a woman convicted of murdering her husband, a serving police officer. As she didn't plead guilty at her trial, how can she be innocent? It slowly reveals what went down in the crime and the subsequent court case. Very detailed, authentic science used. Entertaining.

How do you know when you're out of invisible ink?

It's a slow process of elimination, not a silver bullet (despite the ads for it): involves creating multiple ads with different texts (all with the same image) to see which garners 400 clicks first, followed by testing winning text with different images.
As the man said about advertising "only 20% of my ads work- trouble is, I don't know which 20%".
I suggest a strong image with popular hashtags (for your genre etc) e.g.
