Manifest the Magic book trailer

The second book in this series is due out Thursday, December 20th. Yes, this week! Woo hoo. I'd like to share with you the book trailer for the story. Enjoy.

An early image

Several years ago when I first started thinking about drawing Steigan and I was just learning how to color in Photoshop, I drew this:

Preparing For Battle

Not too shabby for a beginning. I learned and that's what counts.

But as I came across it not too long ago, I realized that it had a close name as the track by Nathan Chamberland I purchased for the video music from AudioMicro. Very strange. But I loved the Prepare For Battle track ever since the first time I heard it. Whenever I needed inspiration, I'd go out and listen to it. It's like the music fit the story so well as though it were written with it in mind. When this gets made into a movie, I hope Nathan Chamberland can do the film score! That is my greatest hope. To me, Chamberland is the John Williams for Sacred Knight. All I have to do is listen to the music and scenes from this story flow through my head and I get goose bumps down my arms.

Really, with Prepare For Battle, I couldn't have asked for better trailer music and something to build my brand around. If you haven't watched the two book videos, click the YouTube link on the right and go do it now. Enjoy the music!

New Video for First Book Posted

I've posted a new video for the first book of the Sacred Knight series. In the video is the cover of the book, which has changed since the last post. Why don't you go watch it now, then I'll have a story.

So, after I announced my book cover to the world, I started asking some more people about the book cover. I really had an issue with the flare on the cover. To me, it made the light source look all wrong. Everyone I asked for an opinion said pretty much the same thing. 

Now, what I found funny was that the males I asked like the flare and the females didn't. Doesn't that pretty much equate to men liking the bling and the women not liking the bling? Yeah, yeah, who said only girls like sparkly sparkles? Anyway, the flare is gone. I'm feeling much better about the cover. 

At least I feel better for this moment in time. I still have another month to change it. Hmm....

If you like the videos, please "like" them and share them with your friends. Let's get the word out. Thank you!
