Are you FALLING UNDER?
Did you guys know our very own Fictionista Gwen Hayes had a book release yesterday? It's called Falling Under, and it's an amazing paranormal YA love story--I was lucky to read it in draft form, and it has lingered with me since. The story is lush and beautiful, and I couldn't put it down.
Gwen is an inspiration to me and all her friends. She's worked hard at writing, improving her craft, making connections, and persevering even when things were rough. And now she has her book out, and we couldn't be prouder of her. I know it's going to be a big success...it's a luxurious read, and I am getting my own copy today from the bookstore. YAY!
It's available all over the place online and in bookstore, so go get a copy--I promise you'll love it! Here's a teasing blurb:
Theia Alderson has always led a sheltered life in the small California town of Serendipity Falls. But when a devastatingly handsome boy appears in the halls of her school, Theia knows she's seen Haden before- not around town, but in her dreams.
As the Haden of both the night and the day beckons her closer one moment and pushes her away the next, the only thing Theia knows for sure is that the incredible pull she feels towards him is stronger than her fear.
And when she discovers what Haden truly is, Theia's not sure if she wants to resist him, even if the cost is her soul.

Falling Under Cover Flats
What you can't tell from the picture:
- The title and my name are foily!
- The cardstock has a softy suedey feel.
- It's so freaking gorgeous.
- I'm a writer so I make words up like "foily" and "suedey".
I will choose three random commentors to get a signed cover flat. I'll also throw in a bookmark. So as Chaka Khan once said....tell me something good--tell me that you like it, yeah.....
And the winners are:
Lisa Henderson
Reggie Writes
and Gilliene

Falling Under
I spent a weekend making a book trailer and found it to be not only fun--but helpful. It was like connecting a different part of my brain to the writing process. Searching the web for pictures that made me "feel" my setting, characters, and mood has been good for my revisions I think. And the MUSIC--I love this song so much.
So, as a reader--do you ever look for book trailers? I confess, I never have. I've seen some really bad ones though, and they turned me off. I'm going to start checking youtube for more now--if nothing else than to give me ideas.
As a writer--have you ever made book trailers and what was your experience with them?
