In the literary world, media coverage reigns supreme as a marketing tool for new releases. While conventional methods have their place, a well-crafted press release can be the key to unlocking a wave of media attention.
Press releases serve a far greater purpose than simply announcing your book’s arrival. They act as a strategic instrument to spread the word and strategically reach your target audience. Imagine a press release as a captivating invitation, enticing journalists and reviewers to delve deeper into your book’s story.

About the book:
This riveting book, “The Half-Life of Secrets” by Holland Childhouse, revolves around a woman named Olivia Calvert, who is dying of chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Her oncologist son concluded that nothing could be done but to slow it down and make her comfortable. As her health deteriorates, she slowly loses the senses of taste, smell, touch, sight, and hearing. Olivia reflects on her life through these five senses, visiting memories and one associated with death, reminiscing about how her life went from under the custody of her parents until her dying in the present.
As the story unfolds, the protagonist, Olivia, shares her story with Nurse Laila. Laila also shared her experience from Afghanistan, being an orphan at a young age, being adopted by Lauren and Ben, an American war captain and the murderer of her parents and moving to the States. Through a lot of realizations, Olivia embraced acceptance, forgiveness, and letting go of bitterness, realizing that facing one’s death is beyond our control.
