Review: The Deep Blue Alibi: A Solomon vs Lord Novel

Filed under: Reading — admin @ 10:57 pm

Author: Paul Levine
ISBN: 0440242746

Steve Solomon is the kind of a lawyer you would like to have on your side when
you believe you are in serious trouble with the law. Solomon believes that if
the facts don’t fit the law, bend the facts. On the other hand, his law partner,
Victoria Lord, brings a certain amount of ethical respectability to the
unorthodox Miami law firm of Solomon & Lord. These two lawyers originally teamed
up in Paul Levine’s previous novel, Solomon vs. Lord and are now once again
putting their unconventional lawyering skills to the test, as evidenced in the
author’s latest novel, The Deep Blue Alibi: A Solomon vs Lord Novel.

The opening chapter of Levine’s recent novel has Steve trying to seduce his lady
friend and law partner Victoria into making love in the Ocean. While these
shenanigans are going on, the couple watch in horror as a yacht washes up on the
shores of Sunset Key in the Florida Keys with a hundred thousand dollars. Two
men are found on the boat, one of whom, Ben Stubbs, has been badly injured with
a metal spear protruding from his chest. The other, Hal Griffin, turns out to be
a close family friend of Victoria, whom she had not seen in years and whom she
refers to as her uncle Grif.

Stubb does not survive and uncle Grif is now on the hot seat, accused of murder.
Motive or lack of one seems to be a factor here, as Grif was involved in a huge
multi-million dollar project called Oceania, wherein a hotel and casino were to
be built on coral reefs. Stubbs was an employee of a government environmental
agency, and he was supposed to have agreed to write up a favorable report giving
the go ahead for the project. Could it be that he changed his mind, double
crossing Grif, or could it be that someone wanted to sabotage the entire project
due to the environmental harm it would cause?

To add a little more spice to the novel, Levine works in family secrets
pertaining to Steve and Victoria. Apparently, many years ago Steve’s father had
resigned as judge in the Florida courts and had also lost his license to
practice law. This occurred when his friend Peter (Pinky) Luber fingered him
during a corruption probe. In order to save neck and reduce his own prison
sentence, Pinky told the Grand Jury that Solomon Sr. had taken bribes to rezone
agricultural property to commercial use. Steve now wants to set the record
straight and get his father’s license back.

Victoria has her problems when she reveals that her father had committed suicide without even leaving a note to say he loved her. This is something she never could come to terms with and has been a part of her psychological baggage she has been carrying around for several years. However, in both secondary themes, all is not what it appears, as revealed in the headlong rush in the final chapters of the novel, where there are some shocking and interesting denouements.

Levine can clearly write a good easy-to-read mystery narrative with eccentric characters and an intentionally convoluted plot that at times is over the top. However, it does keep you coming back for more of the same, as we follow the careers of Steve Solomon and Victoria Lord through the halls of justice.

Using Resell Rights to Get Traffic and Subscribers

Filed under: Reading — admin @ 1:00 am

You see the ads all over the place, “Get 147 ebooks and 56
software titles for only x amount of dollars”. Or how about,
“Buy the master resell rights to this product for only xx amount
of dollars”. Lots of people buy these everyday with the hope of
making big money. However, the big question many people seem to
have after buying them is, now that I’ve got them, what the heck
do I do with them?

Here are Seven Ways to use the products you have resell and give
away rights to in order to gain more opt-in subscribers and
traffic to your website.

Create mini-sites linked to your home page. Most any resell
product these days include a pre-written sales page, product and
logo images and the product. All you need to do is upload
everything to a new page on your server. If you do not know how
to do this, find a programmer to help you out, as it will not
cost very much. Test out the new page to make sure it looks good
and orders process correctly. Make sure to have links going back
to your home page from any new pages you create as well as
linking to them from your home page. Cross-linking all your mini
sales sites with your home page could lead to lots of added
traffic over time.

Add bonuses to your existing product or service. If you are
already selling your own product or service, find a few products
from your package and add them as bonuses to your product. The
important thing is to make sure they are really bonuses and
compliment what you’re selling. For example, if you are selling
a book about how taste test wine, you could add another book on
the best cheeses and another on the best wineries in the world.
Since cheese and wine go together nicely and they may be
interested in traveling to a winery, these products make perfect
sense to add on as bonuses. In addition, don’t over do it on the
bonuses. If you’re product is selling for fifty dollars don’t
have two-thousand dollars worth of bonuses or your offer will be
to unbelievable for most people. Remember you can have too much
of a good thing sometimes.

Set up an autoresponder series. Here is a good way to not only
build an opt-in list but also to get people to your website. You
set up a series or weekly, bi-weekly or monthly emails to go out
with each one containing a new product to download. You provide
a subscribe form on your website for this therefore building up
an opt-in list. Provide a download link on a unique page for
each download on your website so everyone has to visit your
website in order to download the free product. You could then
have redirect links back to your homepage after they download
the product. This keeps them looking forward to your next email
as well as getting them to your site every time.

Repackage related products for resell. Some resell packages have
hundreds of products inside. Pick out 10 or 20 products that are
all topic related and bundle them together as a new package. For
example, you could find all the products related to copywriting
and put them all together aimed at people only interested in
copywriting. Create a new image, sales page and price for this
package and then promote it to its niche audience.

Give away new subscriber gift(s). Find products that have give
away rights or price conditions and offer these as incentives to
get new subscribers to your ezine or newsletter. People like
getting things for free and if you give them something of good
quality, most likely they’ll be more receptive to reading your
ezine. Of course it will then be up to you to get them to keep
reading your publications and keeping that list responsive.
Which brings us to the next idea.

Run contests and free giveaways. These are good methods to
increase open rates to your emails. If you have your online
publication online these should also get you more visitors. You
could ask your subscribers to fill out an online survey in
exchange for a free product. Or you could run a contest using
products as prizes. The only limitation on ideas here is you. Do
some brainstorming and come up with something good related to
your readers.

Trade for services. Trading is one of the oldest forms of
business there is. One person’s hardship may be another’s hobby.
For example, I know very little about programming but I know
people who absolutely live for it and do nothing but program
just for the fun of it. Let’s say you need some programming work
done but are short on cash. You could offer the programmer some
valuable software they could use that you just happen to have in
return for some work. There are many possibilities here so make
sure you both agree on the details first. However, something
like this could work out well for both of you.

So there you have it, seven ways on using resell rights to get
more traffic and subscribers. I wish you well on your efforts.
