By way of introduction, my name is Marianne Evans, and I’m an author with White Rose Publishing, and The Wild Rose Press. I’ve also been published by Kensington. I’m glad to be making your acquaintance here on The Romance Studio blog!!
Hearts Crossing is my current release, a contemporary Christian inspy that won the White Rose Publishing “Hearts Crossing” contest this past December. With This Kiss, my Wild Rose Press release, will be coming out at the end of this year!
I'm fairly new to the world of e-publishing, and the nuances of promoting an e-pub novel - but I'm trying to learn fast. This weekend I got my first review from a review site, and found out I was fortunate enough to win nomination in a book trailer award at http://yougottareadvideos.blogspot.com/ (feel free to vote for Hearts Crossing, if you're so inclined!).
Anyway, I'm delighted by the review, and the trailer nomination - but the trailer nod made me think. Naturally, the most important thing, to me, about any book is what's between the covers, not just the way it's promoted. After all, solid writing is what's going to win reader's hearts and loyalty - nothing else. And that's exactly what I want - to touch souls and bring them closer to God by the power of (what I pray will be!) a great, romantic story.
Still, I got to thinking about trailers, and their impact on whether or not I'll read a book, or see a movie. And I have to say, this self-analysis led me to realize, trailers pack a lot of punch! My most current movie favorite – the one I simply "MUST" see once it comes out, based solely on the trailer, is "Letters to Juliet"
The romance writer in me cannot wait to see this movie. Meantime, the realist in me wonders: Will it live up to what seems to be an incredible, heart-touching love story? I sure do hope so!! It hooked me in. I'll be going to see that movie the weekend it releases....based solely on the power of its trailer. Now that's impact.
How about you? What do you think??? What are your thoughts/opinions? I'm eager to know!
Blessings!
Marianne

Hi Marianne, congrats again on Hearts Crossing. I loved the trailer and I am just now starting to read the novella. Davina has such a pretty name.
I enjoy trailers if they're good, but I've seen some pretty dumb ones as well.
Good luck with HC! Hope you sell a million copies! oxoxox
Aww! Thanks, Tanya! I appreciate your sweetness!!! Did you get a chance to see the Letters to Juliet trailer? Seems so intriguing to the romantic in my soul! :-)
