So I have something that I think is pretty cool to share, and even though it's about my own new novel, "The Possibilities of Sainthood," I'm sharing it anyway! A new trend that has sprung up among young adult authors is to have a "book trailer" done for your novel. A book trailer is just what it sounds like it is--essentially, it looks and functions something like a movie preview, but it's for a novel.
I'm lucky enough to be part of a group called The Class of 2k8--made up of 27 novelists all with debuts in the year 2008. Every member gets a book trailer (so having a book trailer was kind of an accident for me!), and here is mine--check it out!
The first time I watched this was very surreal. What do you think of it? And about book trailers in general?
(I'll be blogging more about the Class of 2k8 soon--providing a list of all these wonderful debut novels that have spiritual, religious, and/or paranormal themes so watch out for more 2k8...)

I just finished The Possibilities of Sainthood and I absolutely loved it! It was so well written. I am so happy that a book like this exists for Catholic teenage girls. This Irish Catholic teen found the book a delight! Thank you for writing!
I know I am posting this out of synch with your question, but I wanted to compliment this book trailer. I prefer to "cast" my own books---so this trailer gave enough of a sense to ground the reader to what the book will be about, without giving the book away. (Sort of the way you can decide if you want to go into a restaurant based on the way it smells when the front door opens).
I found the book by accident, while searching around for a gift for my daughter----it looks like a good choice.
i'm reading this book for summer and so far it's good.
