My friend (and fellow writer) T.L. (Tony) Hines has a new book out called The Unseen. Here’s a teaser on the plot:

Urban explorer Lucas Freund is a loner, but he’s never alone. From secret hiding places, he peers into the lives of others–watching them while they work, while they commute, while they sip their morning coffee. He is a master at remaining silent and unseen in his carefully constructed world as an invisible observer.

But when a chance encounter turns the tables, the watcher becomes the watched. Caught up in an escalating series of events he is powerless to stop, Lucas discovers an underground organization with a chilling mission.

Anyone can be watched. No one is safe. And the most terrifying secrets of all remain Unseen.

It sounds like a great read. But there’s something else he’s doing, as a way to promote the novel, that I find fascinating. It’s called “The Unseen Pages Project.” Tony has sent out one laminated page of his novel to several hundred volunteers, who will then place these pages with a note in any public place they want. Whoever finds the pages can take them, read them, and place them somewhere else–and then drop a note to Tony at his website telling him about their experience for a chance to win some great prizes.

Neat promo idea–and it makes me very curious to see where these pages end up, who reads them, and what the readers say. You can find out more at his website: http://www.tlhines.com. Take a look!

Oh, and by the way, Tony’s a great writer, so the next time you’re in a bookstore (or right now online, for that matter), check out Waking Lazarus, The Dead Whisper On, or The Unseen. They’re well worth your time.
