To all of you who've posted comments. . .thank you for your interest. The concensus on trailers seems to be that there's no concensus! The jury is still out. I'll probably continue to produce one for each book because I have the resources available via my husband's business. But if I didn't, I don't know that I would. A lot of readers still depend on "words" rather than visuals, and that's not a bad thing at all! I rely on words. To Susan Leach -- everyone here in the office got a kick out of your post about your husband. I hope he maintains that interest through the story. And to Patricia Barraclough, I hope your library has RAINWATER and that you'll recommend it to your clientele. Again, to all of you -- many thanks!
Thank to all of you who've left comments. I enjoy visuals, so I enjoy trailers, but quality is key. Some I've seen are amazing, some pretty bad. I'm biased, but I think the one for RAINWATER belongs in the former group. Of course, it helps that I sleep with the producer/director!
