Hilarious book trailer

Not historical fiction, but very funny and clever.

Interest in HF: started in childhood with the classics, which, IMHO are HF even if they were contemporary when written.
Favourite HF book: Prince of Foxes, by Samuel Shellabarger
Preferred HF: Currently prefer 1600 and earlier, but I'll read anything that keeps me turning the page.

LOL! In the same vein, writers might find this youtube video pretty funny!

Haha!

Certainly a pleasant change from some other authors behaving badly when they get a bad review.

That's the truth. Its interesting to see the author's spin on this. I havent read it and have never heard of the man, but now I just want to peak and see what its all about!

And therefore his book trailer can be said to be successful.

I liked the second video too. So many things to keep track of these days when it comes to marketing your books.
