Book Trailer for Melissa de la Cruz's WITCHES OF EAST END

I really wanted to share with you a really exciting book trailer that recently premiered on Entertainment Weekly's Shelf Life Blog and I wanted to share it with you here as well.

I had so much fun working with Melissa once again and I really hope you all enjoy the book as much as I enjoyed reading and working on it!

It’s the beginning of summer in North Hampton, and beautiful Freya Beauchamp is celebrating her engagement to wealthy Bran Gardiner, the heir to Fair Haven and Gardiners Island. But Freya is drawn to Bran’s gorgeous but unreliable brother Killian, and sparks fly when the two decide to play a dangerous game, following an ancient story of love, betrayal and tragedy that harks back to the days of Valhalla. Witches of East End follows the Beauchamp family—the formidable matriarch Joanna and her daughters Freya and Ingrid. Freya, a sexy bartender, has a potion to cure every kind of heartache, while Ingrid, the local librarian, solves complicated domestic problems with her ability to tie magical knots. Joanna is the witch to see when modern medicine has no more answers; her powers can wake the dead. Everything seems to be going smoothly until a young girl, Molly Lancaster, goes missing after taking one of Freya’s irresistible cocktails. As more of the town’s residents begin disappearing, everyone seems to have the same suspects in mind: the Beauchamp women. Fraught with love, small-town secrets, and witchcraft, Witches of East End will capture any reader who craves a page-turning, heart-stopping story of myth and magic from an author who knows how to deliver.

CRYER'S CROSS by Lisa McMann book trailer

I kinda let this one slip just a little bit because I was busy with a long and extensive shoot but I wanted to share with you guys one of newest trailers for Lisa McMann's CRYER'S CROSS.

I had read her WAKE series and loved it so you can imagine my joy and excitement when I get a call asking to work on this trailer. Doesn't hurt that Lisa's a doll, either!

I LOVED this book. It's creepy and eerie and much like her previous series it has an egde that is so irresistible!

DESIRES OF THE DEAD by Kimberly Derting- book trailer's HERE!

Can I just say, I loved working with Harper Teen on this. They were patient and so easy to work with! And it doesn't hurt that they like my wacky ideas!

When I was reading Desires of the Dead by Kimberly Derting I was once again in awe of not only her story telling but her lively characters. Oh how sweet Jay and Vi are! But what I liked most of all, is that she has a wonderful knack for writing a book that is HILARIOUS and sweet and yet dark and gloomy at the same time. Anyone who knows me, knows I'm fan of all things dark, so I latched onto the creepy and the strange in Kim's book. But I still wanted to have the sweetness that is Jay & Vi. What I really enjoyed was adding in all the echoes. Can you spot them?

Again, thank you Harper Teen for giving me the chance to revisit The Body Finder and work with you guys! :D
Kim, keep up the good work!

Desires of the Dead is out February 15. Go pre-Order and Buy it! A little over a month left!

VLC Photo Trailer on TV

Ok this is semi old news but I am finally able to put it up and share this goodness.

Last year, when I toured with Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl (authors of Beautiful Creatures and Beautiful Darkness) at one of the stops in Charleston they had a morning TV show segment. Well, sadly I couldn't be there in person, so I got up really early, perched myself in front of the TV, waited for two hours to see their segment and

Notice the squeeing? Yeah, it took A LOT for me to stay still and record it. I gotta admit, my trailer looks good on TV.

:D

But the girls did so great as well and I can't wait to tag along this year on the Smart Chicks Tour!

Infinite Days book trailer

Let me tell you a little story, readers!

When dear Rebecca first emailed me about doing her trailer I was so excited! And then I saw it was about vampires. No wait wait.... hang in there with me...

So vampires, right? I mean, Twilight, House of Night, Vampire Academy? Ring a bell? Read them, love them, and so when Rebecca sends me her book and I start reading I knew from page one this was different. Ok, seriously! It's so good!

There's love, romance, loss, pain, some fighting, (and a girl fighting), and a kick ass heroine (who doesn't love that?) and beautifully written, well paced and totally unexpected plot. I devoured that book, which is a bit hard if you read it on a small hand held digital device. Oh!! and an ending that will leave your jaw on the floor and angry as hell. And that's a promise!

Best of all, as Rebecca and I started working together on this trailer we agreed on EVERYTHING from music, to the models for Rhode and Lenah and through it all we've become great friends and I can't wait to watch this book fall in the hands of readers and librarians who will LOVE it as much as I do!

Now all's left is for her to educate me on some goooood music! Jim Morrison anyone?


SOOOO Readers, I know you are dying to read it... And I have an ARC to share with you!

To enter go and follow Rebecca's awesome blog. She's got a shiny SIGNED ARC to give to a lucky one of you!!

Guardian of the Gate book trailer

It's finally here! This trailer's been so great to work with for so many reasons but two of the main ones is that I got to work with one of my favorite publishers, Little Brown, who publishes some of my favorite titles! They such great taste and I was honored to do the sequel to Guardian of the Gate since Prophecy of the Sisters book trailer hold such a dear place in my heart! They have been so great and so patient to work with and I hope we get to do this again!

Thank you, Little Brown! Thank you!

Also, this trailer was a great collaboration with my wonderful team and friend Jeff and Gabriel who have not only been absolutely brilliant but have taken my work, my photography, and my trailer to a whole different world and you guys rock my socks! Looking forward to the next one!

And finally thank you to my models. You know who you are and why I love you to PIECES!

So without further ado:
