Good evening all

I'm launching a new project today and am hoping that everyone on here would like to get involved. Please read on for more information and feel free to repost or comment, I'd love to hear your thoughts!

My book 'Spotted' is nearing completion and as such, my thoughts are turning to marketing; I want to sell this thing when it's finished! I'm hoping to harness the power of the internet (particularly Twitter) to achieve this and Tweeters; I need your help!

My main protagonist is a cruise ship entertainer whose life changes suddenly during the early chapters and I thought I would build awareness of the novel's release by Tweeting the backstory.

If you follow @AlexAboard ( http://www.twitter.com/AlexAboard ) you can track our hero's progress as he travels along in the bubble that is ship life. You will share his adventures and hopefully laugh at his stories whether he's in an exotic port or just cruising aimlessly in a floating hotel.

For more excitement you could even add Alex Gaines on Facebook ( http://www.facebook.com/AlexAboard )

I will be Tweeting right up until the date of publication and the novel's story will follow seamlessly from my final message.

The object of the exercise is to prove to publishers that there is an existing following, so I am looking for an army to help me along. Please add me, tell your friends and enjoy the prequel to Alex's tale exclusively online.

Welcome aboard!
