Hey, lookee here! BOND OF FIRE made it into a fabulous book trailer from Circle of Seven!
I’m always fascinated by what parts of a book wind up getting emphasized in a book trailer. This one puts the focus squarely on Jean-Marie and Hélène, the hero and heroine, plus their long agonized fight against the demands of duty and honor which keep them apart. Not to mention Celeste, Hélène’s little sister and the story’s villainess.
Film also has a nifty way of summarizing things in a few, rich images, too, that I deeply envy as a writer. I wish I could portray Paris in an instant - or a Texas ranch at sunset! But that’s what I keep working to learn how to do better. And, of course, I get to spend many long hours with my characters writing their stories. Yeehaw!
Hope you enjoy this book trailer as much as I do -

Hi Diane! Wow the trailer was awesome! I so loved that Texas sunset but too showing the hero with the water drops on the chest, and the hero and heroine side to back pics…it all was great. Gave an awesome idea of what the book is about. I just about drooled wanting to read it! Thanks for all that time you take to put your books together. I was just wondering today what it would be like without them and I kept imagining it couldn’t!

Glad you made it over here, Caffey! I can finally hug you on my own website.
Sometimes it’s a hideous wrench sending a book off to the publisher. But it’s all worthwhile when readers like you say they love them, too. Then I know my books have found a good home.
