Book trailer for Stories to Read by Candlelight

Last week I wrote about a book trailer idea for Stories to Read by Candlelight, using my son Josh’s animations of Erin-Claire Barrow’s silhouettes. It’s all part of an effort to learn how to market my own work. I found a video creation site, Animoto, put together some words and pictures, with, at the end, a call to buy. Making it took a day and half, that is about 11 hours. This was the first time I’d made a book trailer. It took time but it was fun! Please watch, enjoy, and most importantly, buy a copy of Stories to Read by Candlelight, wait until dark, light some candles, and read it out loud (while someone’s listening…).
