Materials: Book Trailer (Short Version)

This is the short version of the book trailer. It runs under a minute long, the music is energetic and offbeat. There is also an extended version of the trailer. The preview above is what the trailer looks like. To put this video on your blog, just click on the video, which will take you to YouTube.com, or click on this link. Then: How to embed or display video in your blog post Most bloggers already know how to add all kinds of code to their posts -- if you're already a blogger, then you just figure this stuff out along the way. Nearly everyone on the tour schedule has at least one example of some sort of embedded content, so, most likely no one will have any problems pasting, customizing, etc. (However, if you're new to embedding stuff on your blog, and would like some help, please just ask. Honestly, it's simple.)

What content would you like to feature?

Okay, for a book tour, normally will feature your review of the book, and the cover image, and web site(s) of interest. But we'd also like to provide additional content for hosts, so that we can vary the content a little. Which other features would you be interested in including in your blog post? Please just leave your comments here or at the main blog host site, The Other Shelf, or via Twitter: @RM_TheCoven. Proposed content: 1. Author interview (based on your questions) Here is a wonderful interview, by Eleni at La Femme Readers, if you'd like a nice example: Read: Eleni's interview with Sasha Soren 2. Interview with the artist 3. Interview with the designer 4. Book trailer (short version) 5. Book trailer (long version) 6. Interactive (and hopefully embeddable to your site, we're working on that) quiz about the book, along the lines of: 'Which character in Random Magic is your alter ego/most like you?' 7. Reader notes that explain some of the more arcane details and trivia about the book. If you're interested in having a downloadable PDF of that reader notes, that could be an option, please just note your preference: Plain text (to copy/paste), or a PDF version you could offer at your site for download. 8. Book themes (a quick run-down of some of the major themes and sub-themes of the book, which might be useful to a reader). 9. Additional content -- if there's something else you think you'd like to have for your post, please just jot down some of your thoughts in the comments section, we'll see if we can do it!
