Roman Identity Makes a Splashing Debut (2021)

After several months of planning, it’s finally here. My newest novel, Roman Identity, is released today and what better way to celebrate its go-live release than by a brand new book trailer. I’m not a professional filmmaker or video editor by any means, but I’m very pleased with how this trailer turned out.

Thanks to Da Vinci Resolve, a video editing software, I could put the video clips together and sync up the music and voiceover. Credit goes to the respective owners of the clips and the artist Lawless feat Golden for the song “Descent” used in the video. A special thanks goes to my friend TJ, for the voiceover in the beginning. Even though he wasn’t feeling well, he got the recording done. For that, I’m forever grateful for his tireless sacrifice. I don’t know many that would have done that. But he’s not the only one I’m grateful for.

I’m also thankful for my team of editors and beta readers who whipped my book into shape and weren’t afraid to give me constructive criticism. I’m thankful to my cover designer Bianca for patiently helping to bring my creation to life. And I’m thankful for my family, friends, and loyal fans that supported me through this process.

A lot of time as indie writers, we feel like we have to do everything. And most times, we have to wear many hats. But the steps involved in self-publishing aren’t siloed or isolated from others. We need to work with beta readers to tell us what works and what’s not working in our stories. We need professional editors to comb through our manuscript for plot holes, mechanical errors, and other inconsistencies. And unless we’re experienced graphic designers, we need help from a cover designer as I touched on in my how-to book. Just like it takes a village to raise a child, it takes a “village” or community of different ones to help shape, correct, and support writers.

Because of the collective effort of my small community and loyal followers, I can say I’m thankful for the final product. And I hope that my tribe of readers out there will enjoy this just as much as I did in putting this together.

Enjoy!
