Kim McDougall, who produced my Exit, Pursued by a Bee video trailer, was on a blogtalk radio yesterday in the USA and mentioned my name and book. Thanks Kim. She talked about trailers on Bookbites for Kids at: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/bookbitesforkids It’s an interesting topic and my name is about halfway through. It’s fun yet unaccustomed to hear my name being mentioned by American accents thousands of miles away.
Besides being on Youtube and approaching 650 hits >> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnr-135u84c
Kim has placed it on a community press website I’ve not seen called gather.com
The good news is that DDP are bringing Exit out as a trade paperback shortly, so my local bookshops will be able to sell them. I’ll bring a pile along to the British Fantasy Society FantasyCon in Nottingham in September. I wonder who has a stall for me to share?
It is taking me ages to transcribe Exit as an audio script for Jon Eastwood and his actor friends from the London Bridge Experience to read to a microphone. Every day I do 30 or so pages. Because there is more than one voice I can take the opportunity to morph aspects to make the audio experience exciting. David Blunket MP wants it on his MP3 player. He had my humour thriller, Escaping Reality read to tape by the RNIB and so he must enjoy my writing enough to ask for this one too!
My Left Luggage science fiction is still in the hands of my US Literary agent. He likes the Exit trailer too, and we are contemplating making a trailer to promote Left Luggage to prospective publishers. It shows not just the premise of the book then but that the author is prepared to do some promo.
