Countdown to Book Launch – Book Teaser
Here’s hoping this works. I purchased a quick and easy book teaser from https://yourbooktrailers.com. Looks great, and not a bad price–$15. All I had to do was provide a graphic of my book cover, and voila! A day later, I had a book teaser. I liked it so much I’m considering a longer book trailer.
And here it is:

Manly Hearts and Banshee’s Croons*
Moon rising, full
Flashing pikes, a thousand
Singing river, a mass of men
Mud-walled cabins, eyes watching
Every foe and traitor, death
For freedom, hoorah
Moon rising, full
*based upon the Irish song of rebellion, “The Rising of the Moon”

Author Fest!
A bit more than two weeks from now, and I’ll join other authors local to my area (the Shenandoah Valley) at the Waynesboro Public Library’s author fest. Imagine–a room full of writers–of all genres. You’ve got your cozy mysteries. You’ve got your thrillers. You’ve got your literary fiction, not to mention romance, horror, and sci-fi.
Have a look at who’ll be there:

I think it’ll be as much fun for us writers as it will be for you.
Waynesboro Public Library is located at 600 S. Wayne Ave., Waynesboro, Virginia. The Author fest goes from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on May 6, 2016, and is free to the public.

Publication will be later in 2017, for the 2018 centennial of the Virginia Writers Club.
