INDIE AUTHOR TURNS TO TATTOO COMMUNITY FOR NEXT RELEASE

Tattoo Art is one of The Central Elements Of This New Crime Thriller, And Could Very Well Result In Its Author Getting Inked For The First Time. When Rico Lamoureux first sat down to write Riker’s Calling he only had a loose outline in mind, an organic approach he sometimes takes when writing his stories. He knew his protagonist would start out as a determined young man who felt a need to protect others, while his antagonist, a methodical serial killer, would be responsible for setting the pace to this engaging story. What the author didn’t know until several strokes of the pen was that much of the heart of the story would be represented by an unconventional artist whose gift for creation comes to life by way of tattooing. What ends up unfolding is not only an intense tale of crime and obsession, but also a look into one of the most misunderstood art forms of today. “This story does not support negative stereotypes often associated with the world of tattoo,” the author says, “but rather represents the creative, artistic truth of it, if even just in a small way, through one of its main characters.” Rico Lamoureux, who has never been under an ink slinger’s needle, has vowed to get the cover of Riker’s Calling tattooed to his forearm if the book, which is now available for pre-order on Amazon, becomes his first bestseller. “I think tattoo art is one of the most compelling forms of art there is. It takes a true independent spirit to say I believe in this artistic image so much that I’m going to make it a permanent part of who I am. And personally, for me, nothing would say such a passionate statement more than my first bestseller. After writing for over three-fourths of my lifetime, it would indeed be an image that would mean the world to me.” In the digital times we live in, anyone can go inline and publish a book. However, such saturation has not deterred this author, who believes, like an unforgettable work of ink, his storytelling speaks for itself, and, with the help of the tattoo community, can reach his goal of attaining his first bestseller. Rico will be chronicling his progress every step of the way on social media. To help support him in getting his first tattoo, you can pick up a copy of Riker’s Calling at the special pre-order price of only $1.49, the ebook available at Amazon.com and to be released on August 4th, the author’s birthday.
