Just finished my first book trailer! I used Canva, and for a first attempt of someone who has no clue what they are doing, it's not too bad!

Super easy to make, and my school food pantry loved them! Yes, the whole soda can in place of oil and eggs works!
Cake mix, frosting, pan, soda, and candles = birthday cake kit!

Before you DM me:

I am being traditionally published.
I am not looking for marketing help.
I do not want marketing help.
I do not need you to make a book trailer for me.

Please don't message me, show a superficial interest in my books, then launch into a marketing pitch.

I will block you.

You know when you're out on your swing too much when the deer get within 30 feet of you and give you the most judgemental look.

Wow did that pneumonia kick my butt. 0/5 stars...would not recommend.

Brain-

I am working on Moonstone Wish.

Yes, I know you have the gothic romance you keep trying to shove to the forefront.

You will wait until Moonstone Wish is done. You are not going to pull a Queen's Night, or whatever the blazes you did with Shattered.

The last one...not fun. At all.

Here's the earring I used for the banner for Opal Serpent (Melusine's Endgame book 2).

The designer is Cloud River Creations on Etsy. He is fantastic to work with...check his store out!

My cousin illustrated this! What I wouldn't give for those skills!

Each book in Melusine's Endgame has its own page on my website, and each has a different color. Those colors are extreme close-ups of real gemstones in some of my jewelry. Here's the necklace I used for Amber's Lure (it's the same one on my profile banner here).

No, I'm not breeding something scary in my classroom, though someone in one of my books is! An excellent read if you are interested in snakes, venom, biochemistry, and biomechanics.

Book Review-The Harem Conspiracy
An excellent read if you are in ANY way interested in Ancient Egypt. Short version - the ladies of Rameses III harem (among others) conspired to kill the Pharaoh (succeeded), put his son on the throne (fail) and topple his government (hard fail).

Why is Amber's Lure only the first in a (minimum) fifteen book series?

It started as a standalone in my head, but then the unholy trinity of caffeine, Imitrex, and insomnia came out to play.

That's not counting the other projects my mind spawned in the interim.

Thanks a lot, brain.
