My First Book Trailer

After many long and tedious hours, I have wrestled my book trailer into submission. Now the only question is… did I nail it? Well, I find fault in everything and will likely do so here as well, but for now, I am going to revel in the fact that I actually completed the task I set before myself for this weekend. Success! It is a wonderful feeling.

 

Update: There is a new and hopefully improved version of my trailer under the link for Trailers on the side menu. 

Houston, We Have Cover Art~

Yes! It feels real now. Well actually in felt real when I got my first round of edits and I looked at what the lovely Heidi sent and thought holy shit! (Okay, it wasn’t quite so dramatic. Those of you who know otherwise keep your mouths shut please I have a rep to protect. ;)

About a week ago, I woke up to a wonderful email that included… you got it! Cover art! Now, edits and all that surely send you the wake up call that yes you signed a contract and your story will go to publication, but seeing that first cover with your name on it? Well let’s just say it’s like a MasterCard commercial…


Hours of  time and imagination turned into completed manuscript – $Blood

Submitting your manuscript and waiting – $Sweat

Signing the contract and recieving your first round of edits, which leaves you feeling a bit overwhelmed – $Tears

Seeing your blurb and first cover attached to your name – $Priceless

It doesn’t get much better than that. When you see all that wonderful art thrown together for your manuscript, well it seals the deal and has you ready to go through the whole process all over again. Which is exactly what I am going to do! So for all of you loverly people who have supported me on this endeavor and listened as I grumbled the lyrics of “I suck but I shall overcome.” Thanks. We Shall begin the process all over again and again and – well you get the picture. 

Sláinte!
