I've just been reminded that, although "The Tiger's Cub" won't be available for the public via Amazon.com until November 1st, Write Words Inc. will be able to do advance copies for reviewers, bookstore buyers, etc. as soon as the last corrections are confirmed and I've completed the final edit. If you are in a position to do a review for a newspaper, magazine, Goodreads or are a buyer for a bookstore, please leave me a comment or email me at debi_emmons@yahoo.com if you would like an advanced copy.
For those who have suggested posting my book trailer video to Goodreads, Amazon, and other such sites, there is a minor problem with that thought: I don't own full copyrights for the materials used and am therefore banned from doing so. Per the rules of You Tube, I am able to post there because I openly list the sources for the songs and photos I've used, thereby giving credit to the official holders of the copyrights, which gives me permission to use the materials until such time as someone objects.
Of course, if you're a model who matches a character description or are a musician with a song you think would work for another version of the trailer - and you're willing to grant me limited permission to use your image or song - please get in touch with me. Elizza-Rayn Belle Louve and Lycidas Stone are personal friends of mine who volunteered their time as a favor in exchange for public recognition, so I am very willing to do the same for you.
Of course, as I progress with the science fiction/fantasy novel, I'll be looking for models, artists and musicians for a book trailer video for that. Since the title I came up with when I was writing the first portions of it in 1980 has way too many other connections, I'm looking for something other than "Castles in the Sky" to call it, so if you'd like to read a bit and see what you come up with for a title, I'd be willing to take any suggestions. Once again, contact me for more details.....
Thank you for visiting.
hmm i forgot about that. unfortunately i am neither a model nor a musician, so i can't really help with that. i would however be willing to give suggestions for titles. although i'm not sure how great my title-making skills are, one of my suggestions may inspire something better that you think up.
ReplyDeleteThank you, as always, for your thoughtful comment, Sarah. Although you may not meet my needs for a model or musician, you are definitely helping me with your comments - and the universe seems to provide other assistance when I "speak" my needs aloud. :)
ReplyDeleteShould you wish to read the portion of the current work that I've introduced in public so far, please hit the link at the bottom of this comment and see what kind of "brain fart" you get as to a title. Sometimes I find that I'm too close to the material and can't see the forest for the trees, and the person standing at a little distance has a clearer view of it. (Suffice to say that a recent Google search for "Castles in the Sky" convinced me that it's too well used for me to consider any more, and my other "suggestion" doesn't give me "the warm and fuzzies" that a good title should.)
Thank you again for your help - and here's that link: Castles
