+## OBJECTIVE
+Drive 3,000 verified sales of "Shadows of the Veil" (paranormal romance by debut author Elara Voss) on Amazon within 90 days post-launch (target date: Oct 15, 2024), measured via Amazon KDP dashboard sales reports, equating to a 15x ROI on ad spend.
+
+## TARGET AUDIENCE

+- **Key insight**: They need to feel the addictive tension of forbidden romance through 15-second video hooks showing "veil-crossing" magic scenes, prompting "add to cart" urgency via FOMO scarcity (limited pre-order bonuses).
+
+## TACTICAL PLAN
+- **STEP**: Research and compile 50 BookTok hashtags (#ParanormalRomance, #EnemiesToLoversBookTok, #ShadowsOfTheVeil) + identify 20 micro-influencers (5k-20k followers, 5%+ engagement) via TikTok Creator Marketplace search for "booktok paranormal."

+  - **OWNER**: Agency (Leo)
+  - **TIMELINE**: Days 10-90 (Growth Phase)
+  - **TOOL/PLATFORM**: TikTok Ads Manager, link to Amazon pre-order page

+
+## RISK & MITIGATION
