Great book trailer Suzie!<br />

As you see... award winning writer, <b>Daniel Asa Rose</b>, is using a video to sell his book...

As you see... award winning writer, <b>Daniel Asa Rose</b>, is using a video to sell his book... "<b><a href="http://danielasarose.com" target="_blank">Larry's Kidney</a></b>" (we have the cover on our site right now)... and he told me the videos do a fantastic job of getting folks interested in reading the book. I jokingly asked him if he didn't think it was a sign of the Apocalypse that writers were having to use movies to sell books and if it wasn't an indication of the "death of reading."<br />
<br />
But Daniel said "No" ...that from what he's seen (and he has several young boys himself, that the merging of video and books is actually getting more kids TO read. Something about kids being so intrigued by movies and movie making, with videos being something they can do themselves, that it is getting them involved with the creative process, leading back to the story telling of a book and getting them interested in reading and even writing their own stories.<br />
<br />
I know that with all the choices out there, and all the things that people COULD be spending their time on, that getting people to devote their precious free time to something in particular takes SALESMANSHIP, so I think that writers that use visual mediums like videos are very smart to do so... it puts them way ahead of their competition.</font>
