If you’re looking for some great books this summer, you’re in luck. Just out the paper edition of Nora Robert’s Angels Fall, Mary Jo Putney’s The Marriage Spell, and Loretta Chase’s Not Quite a Lady.
Video trailers are a hot trend for new books. You get a 30 second to 2 minute visual teaser for the book. Check out the video for Patricia Rice’s new book Mystic Guardian coming in July. http://www.patriciarice.com/media/MysticGuardian_3.wmv
And the video for Mary Jo Putney’s The Marriage Spell

Readers—what do you think about having video trailers for books? Would seeing one make you more likely to buy the book or at least check it out?
More great reviews roll in for NOT QUITE A LADY by Loretta Chase. The novel received a starred review from Library Journal. Also check out the Loretta’s interview on Risky Regencies http://riskyregencies.blogspot.com/

I enjoy book trailers but they would not make me buy the book. Unless I happened to see it showing in a bookstore. The trailers I look at are on authors web sites, authors I already read. For me trailers are not about marketing but just an added perk for a book I have bought or plan to buy.
The trailers are an interesting marketing tool. Indeed, I'll buy Mary Jo Putney's book today based on what I saw in the trailer. I do have a question: who produced these? The publisher? The author?
