I love the idea of Pinterest-Boards for settings and characters. I am using Pinterest for other things already but never thought about using it like this. Great idea – will do that, too!

That’s almost *all* I use Pinterest for. It’s story inspiration heaven!
Awesome trailer! I especially love the tag line at the end. Who do you use to make the book trailer?
Also, got your outline book and workbook. Finding it very useful!
Kind of a cool story, actually, about this trailer. I really, really wanted to do a trailer (my OCD need for consistency was kicking in, if nothing else, since I’ve always done trailers for past books :p), but I don’t think trailers generally justify a huge outlay of expense. So I kicked around on Fiverr, figuring I could spend $30 or so just to see if maybe I could get something good. Based on past Fiverr experiences, I really wasn’t expecting much, so I was surprised and super happy when this turned out so fab. So to make a long story short, I used this seller and totally recommend them if you’re wanting your own trailer done.
Well I’m sold.
🙂
Awesome trailer; great job!
Thanks for watching!
Oh my goodness!!!!! This looks so awesome! I cannot WAIT to get this! One question, do you know where your books will be sold? (B&N’s?)
Thanks! On Launch Day, the book will be available on Amazon, B&N, Kobo, and here on my site as well.
Cool trailer, love the wordplay.
Also, gotta visit Pinterest some more, it’s great for character design ideas!
Thanks! And I totally agree about Pinterest. It’s addicting!
NICE! ! ! ! Thanks, Katie.
Thanks, John!
Nicely done, however, by the trailer alone, I don’t know what the genre is. I had to read that above the video before I got the “aha” moment. It might be a good idea to state that somewhere in the trailer, otherwise I’m thinking, “Is this WWI (biplane)? How does that relate to the country sheriff? Nebraska? Huh?”
A confused customer is usually a lost customer. That’s my two cents worth.
Good point! Thanks!
K.M., what does Dieselpunk mean?? I have never heard of that type of a book!
You’ve probably head of steampunk–which is a style that features relatively modern technology, powered by steam and set in the Victorian period. Dieselpunk is basically just steampunk that’s instead set between the World Wars (1920 in my book). Captain America: The First Avenger or the old Rocketeer movie were both dieselpunk.
Cool trailer! 🙂
Thanks for watching! 🙂
Exciting! It’s a great trailer and thank you for sharing where you made it.
If you get one done for yourself, I hope you’ll share it too!
What the heck is ‘dieselpunk?’
It’s something I think your namesake Jules Verne would have approved of. 😉 If you’re familiar with steampunk, you know it’s a genre that incorporates advanced technologies driven by steam power. It’s usually set in the Victorian era. Dieselpunk is basically the same thing, just set in between the World Wars and incorporating diesel and well as steam engines. Think The Rocketeer or Captain America: The First Avenger.
