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!

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!!

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.
At home with a good book and the cat...
