Weekly/monthly genre/cult magazine interviews, features and reviews. Major comic/pop culture website interviews, features and reviews. Key genre/cult website and blog interviews, features and reviews. Competitions and giveaways across entertainment/Sci-fi/genre/cult websites and blogs. Titan-Comics.com promotional features and e-zine mailing to 150K database. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's name already had garnered widespread buzz following the announcement of the book, and more publicity and reviews will follow. Abdul-Jabbar has close ties with Leslie Klinger, the editor of The New Annotated Sherlock Holmes who encouraged the writing of Mycroft Holmes. Klinger's Holmsian credentials will garner credibility among the core audience. Mycroft Holmes is a character about whom little has been written, and the events in this book will foreshadow the character as he appears in the stories by Arthur Conan Doyle. As a Time magazine writer and media celebrity, Kareem's prominence in the media will lead up to active promotion for the book when it is published.
