Book Trailers . . .

It's been a busy week or so.  I've had an interview for what sounds like the perfect job for me (fingers crossed I get it), I've been to Devon for a loooong weekend to see the folks, I've completed another book cover . . . AND . . . I've completed two book trailers for Starfish Publishing's up-coming books.

The first is 'Warrior Heart' by Belle Noire, and the second is for my work, 'A Bribe For The Ferryman'.

Take a glance and see what y'all think :)

Happy watching.

News Flash . . .

I interrupt this week's blogging schedule with an announcement that Starfish Publishing has finally got their blog off the ground.

Yay Starfish!!!

(*Reaches up to give an eight-handed Hi-Five - or can I just call it a Hi-Eight???)

Pic of the Week . . . Book Covers

I didn't blog yesterday. I completely forgot! I neglected Pic of the Week and I can't believe I done that! So I'm it doing today instead.

Firstly I'd like say a big WOW to Kelley, who impressed me this morning by saying that not only did she change stories a quarter (or so) into Nano, but that she has written 36,000 words in 8 days!

36,000 words!!!

I'm impressed.

As for Pic of the Week, I thought, because I spent most of yesterday designing front covers for the three books that are being published on the 27th under our Starfish PC, that I'd share what I done.

First is my own cover for Son of Jack, which I'm sure you're all familiar with. I just altered the size to match the others.

The Second is a cover for my colleage Martin Willoughby's work, a Sci-Fi comedy, which looks like it may be titled 'The Good, The Bad, and the Green Gloop'. Because this title has yet to be confirmed, and because I have a limited selection of fonts, the title has been left and will be added later.

This cover is for my other colleage, Susan Maylor who's Justice: Served Cold is the first in her Nathan Turner crime series. She yet to confirm if this will be the final cover yet. Will keep you posted.

All these books will be available to download via Amazon, as well as our website from the 27th November. And, if you purchase on the their launch day, the 27th, you get a signed copy. Yes, a signed eBook. We are clever. . .

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Son of Jack eBook Trailer . . .

I finished the first part to Son of Jack Sunday night. It falls just short of 21k. That's one down and three to go.

For those that don't know, Son of Jack is a novel I'm writing to be used as an experiment in epublishing. Our writers' group are in the midst of building an epublishing company (kind of) and come November, just in time for the Christmas rush, we're all putting something forward for publication on Amazon. If that's a success we may venture on to other things and other places.

We're building a website - well, Martin is - and the company name is 'Starfish eBooks' or Starfish PC (still subject to change) What does the PC stand for? I hear you ask. Publishing Cupboard. We're too small to be a Publishing House :D

So, Son of Jack: It's based around the fears of four strangers in a society shadowed by a serial killer, Son of Jack. I'm writing each character's story individually to begin with, and then later I'll add them together, interweaving them, to create the novel. I'm pretty syked about it. I've not really had much dealings with this Genre, so I'm finding it interesting - although after four weeks I am beginning to miss my beloved fantasy.

Still, I was so excited last week that I even made a book trailer for Son of Jack. I've never done one of these before and I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed doing it. It still needs tweaking but I'll leave that until later - and there's still a lot to learn regarding Windows Movie Maker, something I've never used before last week.

Take a look and see what you think - and you need sound The music emphasises it, I think.
