"Breakthrough Promotion rocks! I am constantly amazed at how dedicated PJ Nunn and the whole staff at Breakthrough are to their clients. Your book is their book. They go the extra mile, which often times makes the difference."
–HARRY HUNSICKER, author of Crosshairs
"Before I contacted BreakThrough Promotions, I didn't have a clue about getting radio interviews. Not only have Patti and her staff obtained good interviews for me, they have gotten me good publicity and other events as well, at a price I can afford."
-ALAN COOK, author of the Gary Blanchard mysteries: Honeymoon for Three and The Hayloft
"Breaking through the clutter of competing commercials to make a client's product stand out is something we talked about all the time when I wrote advertising copy. BTP does the same thing for books!"
-CHRIS GRABENSTEIN, Anthony Award-winning author
"PJ Nunn's Breakthrough Promotions has helped me get exposure on a national level that I would never otherwise receive as a new author. In particular, I have appreciated the opportunity to appear on broadcast media programs, which has introduced whole new audiences to The Fat City Mysteries series. Breakthrough Promotions rocks!"
-KATHRYN LILLEY, author of Dying to be Thin and Killer Workout (coming in October 2008)
"When I hired Breakthrough Promotions to publicize my new political thriller, Checkmate, it was the best decision I ever made. Within weeks, PJ Nunn and her crew of savvy promoters had lined up a number of radio interviews for me all across the country. I then began to get emails—through my website—from listeners who said they bought my novel because they heard me on a particular radio show. P.J. not only sets up the interviews, but sends me a reminder the day before—what an organized outfit... just terrific!"
-KARNA SMALL BODMAN, author of Checkmate
"PJ Nunn and her great crew at Breakthrough Promotions have been lifesavers for me. They've taken on the time-consuming work of setting up signings and interviews and allowed me to concentrate on what I love—writing. All I have to do is show up at the appointed time and sell books! They're worth every penny of their fee."
-SANDRA PARSHALL, Agatha Award-winning author of The Heat Of The Moon and Disturbing The Dead
"I'm on my second trip with BreakThrough Promotions. The first was so much fun and so productive, and the folks so nice, that I rushed back as soon as my book Jasmine's Fate was in print. Some may be bigger and some may be louder, but none are better than PJ Nunn and her staff at BreakThrough Promotions."
-RANDY RAWLS, author of the
Ace Edwards, Dallas PI, series
"I'm a new client, so I haven't had an opportunity to fully experience the impact that BTP may have on my writing career. However, I have been impressed by the radio interviews and the bookstore signings in the Chicago area that PJ and her staff set up for me. They have been both friendly and efficient. Even though my publisher has a marvelous marketing director, having the additional resources of BTP at work for me means that I'll have increased access to the media. This is a blessing for someone like me (with a day job) who finds it a lot easier most of the year to do a radio interview than hit the road on a book tour. I also like the fact that I can request a custom package to take advantage of the time that I do have available and where I'm going to be. As I discovered on my recent Chicago mini-book tour, BTP can help me reach a wider audience and make even better use of the promotional materials that Karin, the marketing director, at Silver Dagger has developed for me."
-FRANKIE Y. BAILEY, author of the Lizzie Stuart mystery series
"PJ Nunn has been the wind beneath my wings during my first book tour. I can't imagine how I'd have handled the million and one details and the things that could go wrong—and do—without her help."
-ELIZABETH ZELVIN, author of Death Will Get You Sober
"The staff at Breakthrough Promotions has helped me tremendously with my debut novel. I thought I'd be able to handle all phases and aspects of promotion and marketing myself, how naive of this newly published author! Several months after the release of my book I was exhausted and getting only a few signings here and there. I knew I needed help, I knew who to contact through other authors who have been rescued by Patti and her team. Breakthrough Promotions certainly helped me 'breakthrough' to the media and, more importantly, they helped free up my time so I could get back to writing my series. Thank you, Patti and staff. "
-APRIL STAR, author of Tropical Warnings: A Wanderlust Mystery
"I have looked far and wide for reasonably-priced and effective book promoters, and PJ Nunn beats them all in her professionalism, creativity, and gracious personality. No matter what you request, she will come back with a wide smile and get it done for you. Her timeliness, work ethic, and incredible number of contacts surpass her competition by far. You will get results, do not fear."
-SILVIA FOTI, author of The Diva's Fool
"PJ Nunn and Breakthrough Promotions do what they say they will do. I wish I'd signed on with them before my first book came out, but struggled through on my own. By the time the second book hit the shelves, and I faced setting up book signings and pounding out book three, I knew I needed help. I'd heard good things about Breakthrough Promotions, so she's the first and only person I called. I found her upfront with what she offered and what it cost. My funds were limited, so I said, 'I have this much money, PJ. What can I buy with it?' Within a day or so, she sent me a customized package. We got in late with marketing book two, but now I know what she and her staff can do for me, and I’m gearing up ahead of time for book three."
-SYLVIA DICKEY SMITH,
author of Deadly Sins Deadly Secrets and Dance on His Grave
"PJ Nunn & Associates has put me on the map. I've had more signings, interviews and events scheduled in the months I've been working with Patti than I had in the entire two years before. And at a price I can truly afford. I can't recommend them highly enough."
-JEFFREY COHEN, author of Some Like It Hot-Buttered and It Happened One Knife
"BreakThrough Promotions' publicity expertise is superb. What a find for mystery authors!"
-L.A. STARKS, author of 13 Days: The Pythagoras Conspiracy
"The independent mystery book stores wouldn't even talk to me about signings, or stocking my book, until I signed up with Breakthrough Promotions. Now, I am being welcomed."
-JACK GETZE, author of Big Money and Big Numbers
"During my past year of working with Breakthrough Promotions I have heard nothing but compliments from small independent store owners and managers of huge chains like Barnes and Noble about the efficiency and professionalism of the BTP staff. It is a real thrill to walk into a store and see posters and flyers announcing my book event. Thanks for the great effort team BTP! I have made some great connections and have sold enough books to be invited to the Lake Tahoe Writers' Conference in California, 2009 as a speaker on Niche Marketing."
-KEN RAMIREZ, author of the Naida's Quest Trilogy and Valley of the Raven
"My first time with Break Through Promotions. Very impressed, especially in comparison with others I've used. Cost/Benefit analysis falls heavily to the benefit side. I will use them again."
-BEN F. SMALL, author of Alibi On Ice and The Olive Horseshoe
"BreakThrough Promotions has done an excellent job of getting me connected with print reviewers, radio shows, even an hour-long TV interview—things a little-known writer with a small press could not do on his own. I've been highly satisfied with their work."
-ALBERT BELL, author of The Blood of Caesar
