Above, you will see a trailer for my new book, Bloid News: Super Novel Edition. It's hastily made and my voice over makes me sound like a drag queen (no offense to female impersonators is intended). Even with the shoddy production of the video, I had so much fun making it that I decided to do a few commercials (interpretation: putting my family and friends up to making short videos so I can plaster my book on everyone's facebook.)
Now don't get me wrong, I'm not planning to make these videos in the same hasty manner as the video above. Instead I have scripts for my actors (family and friends) to read, which they can record in a way that suits them. I will then provide an appropriate voice over, in which I will still sound like a water buffalo with throat cancer. The way I have the videos pictured will be fun to make and hopefully will be entertaining enough to draw in more people to buy the book.
Now that you mention books, I was thinking last night that since I am now blogging somewhat regularly, why not take the time to help other indie authors promote their books. Normally, I would ask permission before doing so, but in the case of my first few authors, I think I know them well enough to assume they have no problems with me mentioning their books.
The first two I want to mention are C.M. Adams and Kurrie Hoyt. C.M. has a series out called Version 2.0 It's a great series about a group of immortals who have taken to hiding and in a small way imprisoning themselves on an island off the coast of South Carolina. The stories follow former DEA agent Amber "Birdie" Farron as she passes from this life into eternal life. Once Birdie learns that she has a hard time dying, she discovers her new life is choc full of real surprises. Right now, the first story is on sale for 99 cents for the Kindle version. You can find all of C.M.'s books on her author profile page at http://www.amazon.com/C.M.-Adams/e/B00DGBP8DE/.
Next, Kurrie Hoyt is in the process of bringing us her Hunter Trilogy. Starting with Seriene and continuing through Caelestes, Kurrie follows the adventures of Frank Donaldson as he learns that the monsters he has been chasing most of his adult life may not be the monsters he thought they were. But then again, he may learn that some of them are even worse. Frank and his new partner, Danny, are Hunters, a group of men and women dedicated to hunting and eradicating an enemy just as deadly as vampires, but far more dangerous. How can you survive a blood sucker who can sing to you a song that makes you walk happily to your death? Seriene, Caelestes and more of Kurrie's work can be found on her author profile page at http://www.amazon.com/Kurrie-Hoyt/e/B00FEJGWHC/.
That's all I have for you right now. Until next time, have fun and happy reading.
