June 27, 2005 (Press Release) --
ORLANDO, Florida—Adweek Magazine, a leading magazine of the advertising industry, featured a story about Michael T. Owens, an author holding an eBay auction (Item# 5592706975 ) for a full page advertisement in his latest novel “A Dream Come True” (ISBN#:0-9768589-0-8).
In the Adweek article, Owens says he's just "brainstorming cost effective, out-of-the-box ways to market. By combining the captive audience and long shelf life of a book, I'm able to create a win-win situation for me and one lucky advertiser."
The eBay auction lasts 10 days and opened with a bid of $1.99. Bids have jumped to $200. In his listing, Owens compares the costs of traditional full page ads and states the winner of the auction is getting a bargain.
He promises nothing inappropriate will be advertised. The winning bidder’s ad must be approved by him.
"A Dream Come True" is a coming of age story of three twenty year olds who leave suburban Orlando and head to glitzy Los Angeles. While they chase their dreams, the fast life of sex, music, and drama turns their worlds upside down. This fast-paced thriller has life lessons for all.
