Authors! Get On The Book Trailer Video Bandwagon!
Authors! Get On The Book Trailer Video Bandwagon!
If you've written a book then you know the importance (not to mention the difficulty!) of reaching the masses of potential readers. One excellent way to do that is to have Linka book trailer video doing the work for you. As an author myself, I know how true this is.
My name is Gary Val Tenuta. In addition to being a writer I'm also a graphics illustrator with more than 15… Continue

Excerpt of SUBURBAN WEIRD BY J. R. LaGreca, Fiction with Flair!
Chapter 1
Edith
Courtney Gold stirred in her sleep as the wind thrashed at her window. She could swear she felt a warm breath upon her cheek as she stumbled out of bed.
