As a start toward my marketing, I'm revising the Back Matter of my novels. I've never paid much attention to it, to be honest, but I guess if it tells the reader the next book in the sequence, then that can be a helpful thing. I remember being told that there needs to be three books as a minimum to create 'read-through'.
At the end of my first book ever (The Triangle), I'm now including a reference to the next book along (The Square) and even putting a picture from the cover art. Above is my original sketch, and below is the current cover art for the novel - which I now include as a page in the back of the prior novel. Then follows the 'Back Matter' which describes all my novels, and which I should be able to insert consistently into every novel, as I republish them.
I'll also consider moving some of the paperback novels to an Ed Adams storefront.
The Square
Nervous Weapons of Mass Destruction. The transport of materials across Egypt, with very unintended consequences
TRIANGLE COLLECTION
The first series. Fast paced, international thrillers featuring how Clare, Bigsy and Jake formed The Triangle.

ARCHANGEL COLLECTION
Another asset joins the Triangle in the form of Christina Nott. We need to know a little of her back-story too.
