Book trailerin'

It may never see the light of day, but having just sent off the (overly?) bulky fourth draft of All-Day Breakfast, I'm now working like a demon on a book trailer, which likely won't go up for 8 or 9 months so that it'll be as new and exciting as possible just as the book hits shelves.

I zipped through this, it was taut and tense, but by the time I put it down I had a bad taste in my mouth. Entertaining, but just so effin nasty.
