Book Trailer

I made a little trailer for my book.  It is just one more way to get it out to the public.  If you haven't read the book, this should give you a nice little preview too.  Enjoy.

The Evolution of My New Children's Book Cover

I wanted to make a new cover that was more interesting, and more engaging to the potential reader.  I had the idea, but actually creating the cover was still a learning process.  Here you will see a breakdown of the different elements.  Hopefully you like it.

Goodreads

I set up a Goodreads page for my book.  Please go and visit it.  On the page you can add the book to your library, share the book with your friends, and offer reviews.  If you have never used Goodreads before, think of it as a giant online book club, all through social media.  It is pretty cool.

Judge A Book By Its Cover

I am thinking of updating the cover of my book to make it more visually appealing.  I like my other one, but it is not the most interesting of covers.  It doesn't make you think, "Wow! I can't wait to see what is inside this book."  So, in an effort to get more people to give my book a chance, I have made a new cover.  The only problem is that I am not sure if it is any better than the last one.  There are three things that I need to consider.  First, is this cover more visually appealing.  Second, does it match with the rest of the book.  Third, does it convey the right feeling for the story inside.

For me, the new cover screams magical adventure, but loses some of the childlike dress-up feel of the original.  I think the new one is much more interesting though, and technically better from an illustration standpoint.   What are your thoughts?
