Target Markets
Through extensive market research, the author has learned who will purchase “The Bloodlines of Rollinsford”:
Vampire fanatics (Non-Romantic) A large portion of Vampire fans prefer the non-romantic, Kindred novels portraying vampires as evil creatures as opposed to the romantic approach taken by writers such as Anne Rice. Readers will find that “The Bloodlines of Rollinsford” will show them an alternative side to vampires that is both frightening, and entertaining.
Horror readers One of the greatest things about the horror genre is that its often simultaneous sense of fascination and utter terror can be found in virtually any genre of book. A successful horror writer will usually exhibit strength in his work in either the portrayal of atmosphere, or through use of a well implemented plot twist that effectively catches the reader by surprise. “The Bloodlines of Rollinsford” hits both of these categories quite heavily. It provides Horror fans with a compelling story that thrusts them right into the middle of Kindred society and the conflict that erupts within. Various twists in the plot make for a number of shocking events that they never saw coming.
Readers of Epic book series’ Many readers enjoy a well-written series of novels because of the relationship that they form with the characters, and the overall appeal of a story so important that it could not be adequately portrayed in one volume. “The Bloodlines of Rollinsford” is the first volume in the epic trilogy “The Focus of Bloodlines,” and sets the stage for the excitement that follows in the second and third books. These books hold so many exciting new plot-twists, themes, characters, and so much more that any series reader would devour it.
White Wolf Fans There is hardly a writer – or reader – of Kindred fiction who doesn’t know White Wolf. The impressive success of this company has come through the production and sales of various horror novels and role-playing games that stretch the limits of this fright by incorporating new and completely original ideas into the already popular genre. “The Bloodlines of Rollinsford” will be enjoyed thoroughly by any fan of this highly successful company and it’s products, as it is a completely new and original take on Vampires that focuses more on the character and plot development than on random, meaningless gore. A successful Vampire novel must maintain a distinct originality, or else it will likely fail.
Stephen King Fans The success of Stephen King’s novels cannot be questioned. The countless number of fans that follow his work form a very realistic market for The Bloodlines of Rollinsford. The very original, and quite refreshing spin on Vampires that this book offers will appeal to a number of Stephen King fans not only because of its completely unconventional plot, but also for the stage it sets for the two volumes that follow it.
