“Post-Apocalyptic Nursing Home Parties Propel Indie Novel to Bestseller List”

by Kavan Peterson, Editor, ChangingAging.org

Well, not yet, but…

As you already know, we hosted a live stream video event celebrating the Tribes of Eden Virtual Book Launch on April 4 featuring interviews, videos, Q&A with fans, book readings and autographed book giveaways. Don’t worry if you missed it, we will post the entire launch party on YouTube by the end of today.

But there’s more! Fans still have a chance to win a personalized autographed copy of Tribes of Eden addressed from Dr. Bill Thomas to you. How? Throw a themed Tribes of Eden book party! Submit photos of costumes onto the Tribes of Eden Facebook page and the top three photos to receive the most Facebook “Likes” will receive a personalized autographed copy of the book.

If you’re not familiar with Tribes yet, it’s an exciting post-apocalyptic adventure story. You can’t go wrong with a good old-fashioned End of Days, Post-Apocalypse party. That’s right, Mad Max meets Fried Green Tomatoes (sorry, that’s the only film I could think of that takes place partially in a nursing home)! And if you have read the eBook already, there are many themes and characters to dress up as — Post Riders, The Brotherhood, Corporate Militia, the Shire or even Kallimos.

Not sure where to start? Here are some ideas to get your creative juices flowing:

• Post-apocalyptic: water canteens, biker leathers, gas masks, dirty/disheveled clothes and hair, sacks of clothes and supplies… you get the idea—think “survivalist”.
• Kallimos:… think “utopia”.
• Eden Underground/Shire: riding cloaks, homemade clothes, homespun wool …think “Ren Fest”.

Anyone who throws a Tribes of Eden-themed costume party between now and May 31 (the first day of the Eden International conference *wink*) can submit a photo to win a personalized autographed copy of the book. We will award at least three or more personalized autographed copies to the photos with the most Facebook “Likes”.

Let’s make Tribes of Eden a bestseller, and let’s have fun while doing it. All proceeds from book sales go directly to The Eden Alternative non-profit. So get creative, have fun, and ride on!
