The Making of a Book Video

This summer my hero Wes Griffin from TEXAS TWO-STEP took second place in ARe’s Summer’s Hottest Hero Contest. My prize was a book trailer video made for me by Circle of Seven. Since I’d always made my own videos for my books before, I was interested to see the process and the results of working with a professional company. I chose my newest full length novel release for the video–HOOKED. Here’s how things went… The owner of All Romance eBooks (ARe) introduced me by email to a rep from Circle of Seven (COS).

You got it–my Studs in Spurs, and I couldn’t be more excited. HOOKED (Studs in Spurs, Book 4 ) His last eight seconds could lead to the longest, most satisfying ride of his life. Annie Grant is at the top of her game as an on-air interviewer for the pro bull-riders tour. In all thoseĀ years standing within microphone range of thousands of sexy cowboys, sheā€™s never been temptedā€¦untilĀ now. Now that respected veteran Luke Carpenter is no longer with his longtime girlfriend, heā€™s back on theĀ market. And Annie is buying. Luke knows his days are numbered. Every year the rookies get younger, the bulls get ranker and, likeĀ it or not, the time is coming when heā€™ll be hanging up his spurs.
