The NEVER SAY NEVER (Never Knights Series) Music Video with singer AJ Rafael is Here!

So excited to finally bring to you this collaborated effort between AJ and me.

 


Here’s the description of the music video:


This is a music video spoof from AJ Rafael and Kailin Gow honoring the 80′s great musician Robert Palmer and other musicians who helped paved the way for music today. Music is still the vehicle of communication and expression it was back then as it is today. AJ Rafael’s Music Speaks brings awareness of the power of music for Autism awareness, while Kailin Gow’s Never Say Never books shows the power of music to heal, grow, and transcend gender roles.  AJ’s nephew has autism, and Kailin’s daughter was diagnosed as being on the spectrum but has recently been diagnosed as no longer on the spectrum. Enjoy!




View the Robert Palmer Simply Irresistible Video so you can see how gender roles has changed!




These guys in the Never Say Never music videos are so awesome and secure in themselves, they help to bring forth the message to other guys and to women, too, that:


“Real Men Are Secure In Themselves.
They Never Use Force.”

 


This is a message found in the Never Knights Series with Never Say Never being book 1.


What happens when a hot, but strong young woman takes over a band full of hormonal heartthrobs?  – the book series Never Knights is what happens!

Never Land and Never Say Never Music Video Stills from the Set!

We finally have professional photos from the set of the Never Knight Series Music Video!


Me as EP (Executive Producer) sitting next to music star AJ Raphael, who belts out the main song in this video with an incredible voice that belies his youthful looks!  AJ is not only a very talented performer, but he has a big heart, establishing a non-profit bringing awareness to music therapy for autism called Music Speaks.


I’ve had the fortune to be working with a fun, but highly professional cast and crew, which made this production go very smoothly.


Me and Producer Don Le, who produced Kina Grannis’ video.


I worked with the team who produced Kina Grannis’ music video and had a wealth of experience producing popular music videos for some of the internet’s biggest personalities.  If you don’t know who Kina Grannis is, you will.  Her music is everywhere, and she is an indie sensation like Justin Bieber, from being indie to signing with a major record label.


The Epic Red Camera – any filmmaker would salivate over having one of these to film with – it is what its name says – Epic!


I’m not going to give away the music video’s story before it comes out, but here are a few stills from the set.  To give you an idea of the extent of this music video and the amount of work put into it, we had an entire staff including choreographer, make-up, art department, gaffer, A.D., and more.  I’m speaking from a producer’s view at the moment, setting aside my author’s hat.


The shirtless muscular guys rehearsing their moves with our choreographer.


To say this video is the most fun production project I’ve had (or at I’ve never laughed so much and so hard), is an understatement.


It was the kind of project where everyone had to laugh.  A feel good project.  And in the end, there’s a powerful message about men and women that is the theme of the Never Knights Series.

NEVER LAND Teaser and News – Yup! Never Land (Never Knights #2) is releasing Tonight! More Danny Blue for You!

Been getting lots of emails asking when is book 2 of Never Say Never is coming out, so I’ve been working really hard on trying to get this one out  right away for those saying “More Danny Blue Please!”   So, Never Land is releasing tonight!!!




Danny Blue has made the list of hotties that will appear in my 2013 Hot Men of Kailin Gow’s Books Calendar (tentatively titled) so we are on a model search for him.  We are serious about this calendar, and guess what?  It’s made for all my readers/friends in mind as a big Thank You!  (If you’re on my mailing list, you will get a digital copy of this calendar – sign up at theEDGEbooks.com as a member, then you will get this calendar!)


TEASER

“I can’t get enough of you,” he replied, kissing me. His eyes opened wide, and within them I saw a look of decided mischief. “Close your eyes.”


                “What are you going to do to me?”


                “You’ll see,” Danny said. I followed his directions, and a moment later I felt something cool and moist against my skin. The delicious aroma of chocolate wafted through the air; my skin began to tingle with a pleasurable warmth.


– Never Land (Never Knights #2)

Taking the Time to Breathe and Other Announcements

Hi Everyone,

It’s been a while since i’ve posted something personal on my blog (not that having a book birthday isn’t personal), but I wanted this to come straight from me.


I haven’t had the time to do so many things which I should be doing.  Including breathing and sleeping.


I kid you not, breathing.  Breathing as in deep breaths of relaxation, zen, yoga, reflection and meditation.


Sleeping. Well…you know what that is.  Hopefully.  If not, you’re a walking zombie, *cough* insomniac -  like I am.


So I’ve had health issues come up, which I’ve been taking care of for a while.  Yesterday, I found out after months of dedicated life changes – sleeping more, exercising, eating right, relaxing, taking vacations;  I have reversed what I had.  Some say this is a miracle.   People have never heard it can be done.  Well… I’m happy to say, yesterday I analyzed my results with my doctor and nutritionist, and it appears I’m “Normal”.


What do I have?  Here’s a BIG HINT – Aunt Sookie in my book Loving Summer is based on what I have.  With complications that could kill someone instantly, if not watched.



It takes dedication and hard work to reverse this condition, to change the way you look at things, the way you live, to fight it, just like anything else like quitting smoking, quitting drinking, sticking to a schedule to finish writing a book.  But if I can do it, so can you.


So here comes my next announcement:


Balance is the key.  I’m usually good about balancing, but now I know I have to shift a bit to make room for some other awesomeness and experiences to come into my life.  So, I’m going to be slowing down a bit on my release schedules for my books.


The series I have will continue until the end of each, but they have to be staggered out a bit further.   Releasing 3 to 4 books in a month is downright crazy insane busy!!!!  Most authors release that in 2 years…so I realize I could take it slower, relax more, do more yoga.


So I’m cannibalizing myself, plus I didn’t even have the time to send out the ARCs for my last release, Fire Dance until it was released.  Let alone email everyone that it’s out or market it.  So, folks, I’ll spend more time marketing and promoting.


Oh, BTW, Fire Dance is out, and because I haven’t announce it was, it’s out, and I’m now having a Man-Sorry-I-Didn’t-Tell-You-It’s-Out Special at 99 cents for this week and next!


Along with Bitter Frost being 99 cents this week and next! 



Never Land (Never Knights #2)
is on schedule to release this coming Monday, September 24, 2012!  The music video will be released some time after.  Casting has moved to get a well-known actor or singer for the lead so this will take some time to have done, but it’s coming!  (Someone from Twilight or Glee may come  on board or a popular singer or a popular comedian.  Not telling until it gets close. *grins) But it is definitely a music video to watch. Can’t wait until you see it!

How the Amazon Kindle Fire HD has Brought My Dream of Providing An Awesome and Fun Reading Experience to Life!

Hi Everyone,


For the past 10 years since I’ve been writing books, I’ve been going non-stop, writing books and creating series I haven’t published until digital book technology improved to the point it was a seamlessly enjoyable experience for the author, the publisher, and readers.  Although I published some books throughout my 10 years as print books, the logistics of it have been painstakingly time-consuming, and having ebooks was and is, the way to go for someone like me, who had been in digital marketing before in the corporate world. I understood the digital world, and I knew digital books will be the wave of the future just like music and film.  I saw the writing on the wall back in 2001 when my books were first published, but didn’t have the distribution channel, the devices that would make digital book reading as good as or better than a physical book.


So many of the books I had written was backlogged, waiting to be published. But with over 80 books at the time, it would be tremendously costly to print and publish. So, they sat.


Until the Kindle came along in 2010, and I was able to immediately place a bunch of my books out on Kindle, with my publishing partners, theEDGEbooks.com.


Today I got a chance to experience the new Kindle Fire HD, and it is amazing to see how beautiful everything is on that screen.  The colors, the clarity, and the non-glare.  Plus, my books looked great with the fonts, the formatting, and the way the covers are presented.


If you wanted more information about me as an author or what other books I’ve written, just go to X-ray or other information.  If you have a favorite character you want to keep following throughout the book, you can find out where he or she shows up through X-ray, too.  All this is coming up, along with some amazing features.


If you purchased an audio book of the Steampunk Scarlett series or the Alchemists Academy or the Wolf Fey and more titles coming soon, you can sync the audio book up with the ebook right where you left off.


I’m so excited that finally, there’s someone out there who can provide this amazing reading experience for readers and authors alike.


Amazon.


 


As an author and publisher, I am excited about the possibilities of more innovative features that would take the reading experience to a new high.  Although there are more features I would love to see happen (I’m a futurist what can I say?), this is a pretty darn good start.
