LMLA-ink: “Technology an enabler”

Dec. 14, 2007 - PRLog -- Tyler:  What work have you already done to promote your books and build an audience?

John:  I have experimented with Press releases using the LMLA-ink as actual characters, which was ideal for getting onto Google.

Tyler:  What additional types of marketing plan would help a publisher sell your books?

John:  Anything, that didn’t involve cruelty to animals and eating process food and drinking cask wine, I guess. Like I said LMLA-ink would like to write our next book LIVE online. Associated with this event, we have a concept that borrows ideas from what YouTube, MySpace, Facebook and places like the Gathering and Bebo have done. But we have a twist; we’d love to partner with as many of the names mentioned and build a bohemian like commune online complete with a simple algorithm that transforms this huge new cluster into an actual online game, which I have the simple rules for. This will take place over 30—60 days, in which Feeaz will write Jon Le Mac online. This can coincide with the staggered releases of the printed “John Lazoo,” “WIPE” and “Illicit Blade of Grass.” Inside the commune you’ll find the best Bloggers in the world, only seven of them, Online DJ’s who mix one massive track as Metofeaz and Lazoo, Le Mac and Afamasaga do their stuff. And one more thing. From the commune, we’ll select one special person as a character to write into the book being written LIVE online.

Tyler:  That sounds fascinating and ambitious, John. What is it about this interplay between reality and fiction, such as writing in a real person as a character, that appeals to you?

John: It’s like being on stage, if you mess up, you get booed, or it’s game over.

Tyler:  It sounds like your ideas of technological games via the Internet will really appeal to younger audiences and consequently to publishers. What is it about this technical capability that appeals to you so much?

John:  Technology is an enabler. With it we have built the Internet, cured disease and now we’re using it to get excited about reversing what we recently believed to be irreversible, the condition of the Planet. But through the Internet, we’re changing people’s perception of Environmentalism. In essence what I mean is that it’s our attitude about the environment, which is being changed, from Business through to someone with an Ipod taking a feed from a portal somewhere out there, there are channels now. Enough greenie types are on the boards of the big companies and in Government, now it’s, how to push it to a head, ready to live the change. That’s what I love about Technology.

Oh, I believe the Egyptians got as far as embalming themselves; we have the foresight to preserve the Planet.
