HAPPY MONDAY & HAPPY NICE LOADED BOOK LIST!!! This one is full of all the tropes we love & I’m thrilled these went live early. Whatcha in the mood for?

Three things:

1.) I’m going to marathon watch “Scarpetta”. Sounds like my type of show.

2.) MY MISTAKE!! I was so excited about “Elle Kennedy’s Off-Campus” show on Prime, that I didn’t realize it wasn’t live yet. But it will be. Like ANYTIME SOON!!! I’m still desperately waiting on it and I will totally devour that. I wonder if it will come out only once a week. —> HERE’S THE ACTUAL SHOW ON PRIME!!! read more

Josie needs our book help and it’s short & sweet! Well… not the storyline, ’cause that one (actually this whole series from this quick description) sounds delightfully-Kindle-throwing! I don’t know this one, but maybe you do?

She asks:

MC romance.

Its a story where a woman goes to her older sister and her sister’s husband MC for protection after her husband hit their little girl.

It’s a series, the previous book is where the sister didn’t talk to the older sister. read more

Congratulations on publishing your book! Your book deserves to reach the right readers, spark curiosity, and leave a lasting impression. But with so many books competing for attention, how can you make yours stand out, attract potential readers, and encourage more people to discover your story? A captivating book trailer can help make that happen. Imagine turning your book into a short, engaging video that brings your story to life, highlights its most intriguing elements, and gives readers a reason to want to know more. A well-crafted book trailer can help increase your book’s visibility, build excitement, and encourage potential readers to explore it further. We help authors create professional book trailers designed to capture attention, generate interest, and connect their stories with the right audience. I’d love to show you a few examples and share how a book trailer could help showcase your book. Would you be open to seeing some examples?
