The first Simone Shadow novel is to be published on 29th February.  


The title’s the easiest part of writing a book I thought, except now the spectre of marketing has raised its head. With it comes the need to understand algorithms and their impact on The Contractor’s visibility in Amazon’s bookstore and, of course, in their sponsored ads. 

Here are some of the keywords that seem appropriate for ‘The Contractor’ and I wonder if there are others that you think might be good to use? All suggestions will be gratefully received. They can be ‘exact’, ‘phrase’ or ‘broad’ allowing Amazon’s magic algorithms to add ‘longtails’ to the search results.  

1970s spy, 1970s spy fiction, 70s spy, 70s spy fiction, action fiction, assassin, best female fiction, best female writers, book for holiday, books to read, Bordeaux, Brittany, Citroen Traction Avant, Cold War, Cold War fiction, compelling read, conspiracy, escapism, espionage, espionage thriller, fast paced, fast paced read, female authors, female heroes, female lead, female role models, female spies, female superheroes, female writers, France, French adventure, French fiction, French fiction books, French Resistance, French Secret Agent, French Secret Service, Great books (and they are!), gripping, heroine, high stakes, historical thriller, hitman, holiday book, holiday books for women (although I think it’s a great read for everyone), lady killer, leading lady, Liberté, égalité, fraternité, Liberty, Equality, Fraternity, mystery and escapism, novels set in Bordeaux, novels set in Brittany, novels set in France, novels set in the Cold War, pacy all-night read, page turner, Paris stories, Parisian adventure, secret, secret agent special agent, spies, spies in France, spy book, spy thriller, strong female lead, suspense, thriller, thriller series, vintage fiction, vintage thrillers, women of action, Women's Action Fiction. 

It’s a striking vintage espionage story from the James Bond era. But this is not just a female James Bond, this is Simone Shadow. So when thinking of keywords, I’m also looking back to the 1970s to see what’s relevant.
