iuniverse celebrates release of "Mr. Crane if you please" novel

Many publishers don't get a second chance for a novel, but since Anthony Blossingham's striking release of "Mr. Crane if you please" this March, Iuniverse has a reason to smile.

Since releasing the updated "Mr. Crane if you please" and announcing the expected Fall 2009 release of the much awaited followup novel, "The Re-education of Mr. Crane", Author Anthony Blossingham has pushed forward with all publicity plans, including television appearances on most major networks in the next 3 months. This has caused otherwise languishing sales of the first novel to skyrocket, netting more in the first month then he sold in the entire first run of the novel. The introduction of Internet sales and marketing to foreign countries is yet another tool that Blossingham has refined for his sales push.

When asked why the sudden re-introduction of his Crime noir Character Mr. Crane, Blossingham responded with surprising honesty, "The main inspiration for the character has died and any confidentiality obligation I had on me concerning how I came about with the this criminal character is now gone. I can finally tell the whole story."

A blog follower of Blossingham's posted a message stating that (his readers): "We're very happy with the re-release of this novel, we were saddened when Anthony announced in 2001, that he was pulling the plug on the Mr. Crane series. But we always knew he'd be back and true to form he has brought Mr. Crane to a whole new group of readers with a vengenance!"
