It's that time again. For one of us to put up a video or two of something we liked so we can discuss what works and what doesn't. I was already sold on this book by Allyson James when I read the blurb. I haz a thing about hunky winged men. *g* So when I found the video I couldn't resist posting it.And this one I chose because I know the author [...]
Morning… It’s my turn at Trailer Trash Tuesday and I found a trailer I love. It’s for Sin Club by Rachelle Chase. I love this video for a couple of reasons.First, there are several hotties peppered throughout the video – both male and female. I think the overuse of stock photography is starting to show in many of the [...]
So, I'm sorry this wasn't up earlier. My internet was down all weekend, I only got it back last night, and I'm still playing catch-up. So this will be short and sweet.I'm bringing us back to the video today. I just want to talk about what elements of the video I found appealing. Now Michelle Pillow is a promo goddess, so I'm sure if she stops by [...]
Well, I had originally planned to debut my new video on this week's Trailer Trash Tuesday, but you know...best laid plans and all that jazz. So instead I am showcasing one I saw last week that I thought was different and I'm all about seeing what "different" things people come up with when marketing their books.Between the author narration and [...]
Just realized it was my week to do this. Ooops.I have just returned from 4 days at DragonCon so i'm afraid my brain is a little mushy this week. In fact I am supposed to get back to writing this week and so far that little motivation is sadly lacking. Maybe tomorrow...I've decided this week to put up my own latest book video for your discussion. [...]
Howdy! Today, as you can see, is Trailer Trash Tuesday. At least, that's what I call it. So let's get to it, honey. This week's video is homemade. This is an upcoming m/m release from MLR Press. Gym Dandy is going to be released in December, although I don't know the exact date. Hopefully Storm will stop by and tell us. Let's watch it, and I'll [...]
I've been watching a lot more videos on Facebook lately since i've decided to hate Facebook a little less and check in there a little more often. I had no idea how easy it was to share links and videos with your friends there. I like that feature a lot.As for videos this week...Samantha Sommersby has a brand new book out this week in her [...]
SNOW DAY!!!I completely forgot I was supposed to blog today. It's a snow day here in non-snowy North Carolina, and I am as usual bad, unorganized, spaz Samantha Kane. I already accidentally published this blog with no body. I figured if someone comes by and sees the title with no accompanying post in the next five minutes they'll just assume it [...]
Hey all! I'm back and blogging. Can you believe it's Trailer Trash Tuesday again? I can't.Interestingly enough, at the RWA conference in DC last week I heard a lot of talk from agents and editors about book videos. They expect authors to have them as part of their promotion/marketing plan. One agent was talking about getting into her authors [...]
It's my turn to blog about videos this week so you get me twice in a row. You poor poor souls. lolWe've talked about what a great time we had at the Romantic Times BookLover's Convention and shared plenty of stories and thoughts on that so I just couldn't resist adding one more thing. There has been a lot of gossip on the blogs about the "racy" [...]
