New YA book trailer site
Did you know there's a site just for YA book trailers? Yes, there is! YA TRAILER PARK was created by author Suzy Turner I just submitted my new HUNTED trailer there. If you have a YA book trailer, you might want to submit yours, too.
HUNTED book trailer!
See the video for HUNTED, my YA dystopian/paranormal fantasy. I'm proud of the trailer; I made it myself, and I think it represents the book well, while not being too long. What do you think? Does it interest you?
