Show and Tell already?

Posted in Show and Tell Friday

Yikes! Show and Tell Friday creeps up on a person during the summer, doesn't it?
Visit Mary (AKA Canada girl) for more S&Ts!

OK, this is desperation. I just put together a book trailer for my first book, Andrea Carter and the Long Ride Home. Yes, I know the book came out in 2005, but I didn't know anything about book trailers in those days. Then I figured it out in time to do trailers for the rest of the books. I'm not quite ready to unveil the book trailer for the upcoming book, San Francisco Smugglers, but please....somebody watch this book trailer! They take a long time to make, and although both my sons Andrew and Chad think the music is a little corny, I like it, as it is real country and light and for...kids! So, here you go. (I LOVE the Homeschool Lounge's video hosting feature. They do a much, much better job making the graphics nice than YouTube, which makes the trailer fuzzy. Enjoy!

Do you want to put this trailer on your blog? Here is a code for your sidebar that makes it small--just the right size! (make sure you use the "select all" feature.)

This is a GREAT trailer. Good Job! I don't think the music was corny. Kids-they think everything is corny!

Thanks for sharing,

That's a great trailer! I love the music too, I think it goes right along with it. You did a great job! And I know how long it must take. Thanks for commenting on my S & T Friday about the altered books. To answer your question about using up the whole book - in this one you can't really see much of the original book left. I'm really a book-a-holic, so using up books can be a little hard, but I try to find cheap books that I would never be interested in at Goodwill or the library sale. I did tear out some pages before I started to decrease bulk and cut out phrases from those pages andpasted them in the book I did.

Wow! I love it! I need to make time to read your books....I've never been one to read fiction, but your books make me want to start.

You did a great job - and I love the music!

Hi,

Good trailer! I hope to read another one of your books soon.

I asked mom if I can send you the picture, and she said I can. So I'll try to get it off soon. Thank you very much for the comment!

God Bless,
Amber
