Technology is, like most other avenues of voice, a two-edged sword. Usually it feels as though the edge we feel detrimental is the one that rides against our delicate flesh a lot more often than the one turned away from us, slicing outward for our own eager benefits. In this case, technology has brought forth something I’ve been imagining for years–the book trailer. Book advertisements on television and radio have been lackluster at best and forgettable sins at worst. Utilizing some simple operating system built-ins and such distribution channels as YouTube and FaceBook, authors can now create their own visionary book trailer (with the appropriate skill set) and distribute it to the world. What is embedded below is a first attempt at such a vision and while this is likely a “forgettable sin” and certainly lacking the appropriate skill set, it’s that fundamental first step into this much desired though still-new world for us. I’m sure there will be more trailers forthcoming, either for “Joe” or subsequent book releases that will be much more concise and exciting. For now, take it with the grain of salt that it is intended with and know that I’m always working to make things more “interesting.”
