This is my book trailor for Silk Legacy. Though it says at the end the book is available in trade paperback and e-book it is now only available on Kinde because the publisher has gone out of business.

Some truly brilliant trailers on this thread. (Michelle, I loved the music on your "Locked Together" video!)

I'll pile on with a junior fiction title. Pirates, ya'll. Pirates.

I have two... the first is my "real" one

Here's a fun video set to music about Bumpkin, the domestic duckling, which we raised inside our house. She's one of the "characters" in my book, Something Furry Underfoot. http://www.amylpeterson.com/videos.

Hello, all! I have a great book trailer for DAWNFLIGHT that features a voiceover track narrated by the same person who performed the audiobook edition:

Thanks for looking, and a million thanks for liking and sharing! :)

The Book Chick produces mine, and I see she has the DAWNFLIGHT trailer featured on her sample page! Her prices are very reasonable, and her quality is absolutely top-notch.

YouTube has added public-domain music to their toolkit for producers, but their library is small at present. When I created this video of review blurbs and excerpts for DAWNFLIGHT, I received permission from a local Celtic band, Night Crossing, to use one of their numbers as background music. I happen to know two of the band members, so it was an easy request.

However, I cold-contacted Maggie's Music, a record label for Celtic musicians I've loved for decades, and received permission to use another song as background for this video representation of the narrated prologue of DAWNFLIGHT.

If you have favorite music you would like to use in your book trailers, track down the musician(s) and ask their permission! Chances are, they will be tickled for the extra exposure.



Best of luck with your video as well as writing endeavors!

I went and watched both of yours which I thought were well done, and liked them both because I did.

How did you get so many views on them already?

The song "Where You Are" is an original composition for my new adult contemporary romance, "Naked Edge"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hreiw...

I'm going to spend the day watching the trailers in this thread. If I like the video, I'll give it a thumbs up vote. If I love it, I'll share the link.

Comments on YouTube are like five star reviews on Amazon... priceless. If you see a comment from Charli Webb, consider it a stellar review.

(If I don't like a trailer, I won't 'like' or recommend it, but I won't vote it down either).

Thanks, Haidji! I liked, shared and commented on your video "Suicide Game."

I liked "Life Into Mist" but I'm not sure what the book is about, even after reading the description.

[Kim]

Haidji, now I know where those shares came from (yep, I'm not "getting out" much these days! :D). Thanks very much, and I've done the same for you!
Have a safe and happy holiday season,
Kim

Charli and Haidji,

I agree. The trailer was atmospheric, but didn't say much about content. Just a bit more about content might help snare more readers.

Thanks for the share, Charli! Of your two videos, I found your more recent one contained more info (though I preferred the music better in the other one), so I shared it and hit the "like" icon for both. :)

Liked and shared, Vivienne! (Though I had to turn up my PC's speakers in order to hear your trailer's dialogue over my daughter playing Assassin's Creed: Black Flag (LOL!)

The Fairies of Turtle Creek by Jill K. Sayre

USA Best Book Award Finalist in Children's Fiction

The story shows that the relationship between a granddaughter and grandmother is something special that should be cherished, highlights the importance of patriotism and supporting those who fight in wars as well as their families, and shows that nature provides us with magic every day, enticing us to stop and relish in its miracles.
