Selene of Alexandria book trailer

Post by fljustice » Tue December 7th, 2010, 4:54 pm

Book trailers have raised some dust on a couple of boards I'm on. Some people hate them, others are indifferent, some find them amusing...depending on the quality of the product. This past summer, I hired my college-age daughter to put together one for Selene of Alexandria. The son of a friend created original music. Check it out and comments are welcome!

Nice. I love the music - it really captures the feel of the period. Good luck with sales.

It's great - dramatic music, good lead ins. It made me want to know more about the book, which is the entire goal of these trailers. Congrats!!

Are you going to the HNS San Diego conference?

Thanks for the comments! I'll pass the compliments on to the young people who worked so hard on this. And, yes! I'm going to the conference in San Diego. Really looking forward to it.

Nice job and looks very professional. Sometimes these trailers can give the potential reader a better *feel* for the book than the jacket blurbs can.
