Sheila, being the Über talented person she is, had a book trailer made for us. May I present the video for Marketing, Book Trailers and Author Etiquette in a Nutshell.
This has certainly been a year of new experiences for me. I even have an author’s page on Amazon. It all would have tickled my mom. But I really think Sheila should have used me as an actress in the video. Then I could have joined SAG (Screen Actor’s Guild) and got a page on IMDB (Internet Movie Data Base). Hey, a girl’s gotta dream.
ADDED BONUS! Just leave a comment, “I’d like your book” and I’ll pick one winner to receive a free ebook in the format of your choice.
Bottom Line: I’m now working on my follow up book, How to Keep a Clean House While Traveling and Doing a Bunch of Other Stuff. Just kidding…I hate doing housework.
Still here in sunny Florida where it’s hot, hot, hot! But next weekend it’s off to visit with the San Diego chapter of RWA to do a workshop on building reader loyalty. The main attraction is the amazing Jeannie Lin, so stop by if you’re in the neighborhood. Until then, here’s a few videos to make you want to enjoy more books.
The Rift Walker by Clay & Susan Griffith
A Most Dangerous Profession by Karen Hawkins
Neverland by Douglas Clegg
Evermore by Alyson Noel
If you have a book video you’d like considered, please send it to me at bvey@publishersweekly.com with Book Video in the subject line.
Bottom Line: I am not complaining about the hot weather because I know what’s in store for me in a couple of months in Wisconsin.
While I’m out scoping Dragon Con, I thought you might enjoy some book trailers. I’m off filming a couple of Drive By Videos now, so be sure to catch them in tomorrow’s blog.
His Mistress by Christmas by Victoria Alexander
Nearer Than The Sky by T. Greenwood
The Piranha Assignment by Austin S Camacho
Baer Truth by Linda McMaken

If you have a book video you’d like considered, please send it to me at bvey@publishersweekly.com with Book Video in the subject line.
Bottom Line: I actually catching quite a few book trailers showing around the hotels at Dragon Con myself.
Yesterday I spoke to the Georgia Romance Writers with Dianna Love about Reader Loyalty and had a blast! I’ll be writing about it in tomorrows blog. Right now I’m off to New York for the Book Expo America. In the meantime, enjoy some terrific book videos.

If you’d like your book video considered, please email me at bvey@publishersweekly.com .
Bottom Line: Every time I go to New York, I’m on the lookout for Robert DeNiro. Here’s hoping this time’s the charm.
I used to post Sunday Matinee with book trailers when PW was using a different blog site. I had to stop when I couldn’t figure out how to put them on this site, but the issue was finally resolved, so I will again be showing videos on Sundays. If you would like one considered to be on the blog, you can send it to me at bvey@publishersweekly.com
In case you’re wondering what you’ve been missing, I’m posting several book trailers I’ve recently received. Enjoy them and then let us know if watching the video makes you want to buy the book or even read it? Have you seen them being shown anywhere? I actually saw one before a movie at the theater a few weeks ago and was pleasantly surprised. There were a lot of people in the theater exposed to that book video and I’m for anything that gets something to think of reading a book. Brilliant!
