To date my novel, Tempesta's Dream, has been added by over 400 goodread members. The book trailer has been seen by over 500 members and with 10 ratings under it's belt, it has continued to keep its five star status.

Thanks to everyone.

Also, pick it up to read before Christmas as I will be having a Author conversation in the early New Year.

A Book Trailer

A book trailer seems to go against the very nature and purpose of a novel -which allows the reader to be taken away by their own imagination. Book trailers in my mind should compliment the work, not tell the story for the reader. They should still allow the reader to use their minds eye.

With that said, here is my book trailer. I hope I accomplished my goal.

Great Writing Quotes

I came across two quotes about reading that I adore:

1) A lover of books never goes to bed alone.

2) Be careful, or you may end up in my next novel.
