Exciting News: Unlovable :The movie!! Yes, you read that right! I was contacted by an indie filmmaker and she wants to make Unlovable into a movie! She is adapting it into a screenplay, along with my input, with the date of production listed as TBD for now! To say I am ecstatic would be putting it mildly! I'm grateful for all the readers out there who have read Unlovable and left reviews! This is why reviews are important to writers, so thank you very much! I'd also like to thank the Book Bloggers. I appreciate all the time and effort you put into reviewing author's works. The pay is terrible;} the hours are long, and not all authors appreciate what you do for them. If not for you, books like mine would never have found the light of day! I'll update you as I learn more.

Jericho Solus is the fourth novel by Jeffery Moore, and my favorite work of his thus far. When he asked me to help with his blog tour, I was honored to be a part of this wonderful novel. I had the privilege of reading Jericho Solus from its conception. Jeffery's ability to weave a web of intrigue reminds me of Hitchcock. Just when you think you have it all figured out. . .  bam! He hits you with a new twist. This novel is not for the lazy minded. You need to be on your game. That being said, it only makes the story that much more enjoyable.  I loved every minute of this novel. I loved the avocado green cube that houses "Peter." I loved the jaunts through time that showcase the protagonists' journey. And I loved the romance that touched my heart. There was never a dull moment, never a bunch of filler to pad the novel up. Every word, every scene, added to the story and educated the reader about the elusive Jericho Solus. Not often does a book come along that is this enticing. Now that I know what happened, I want to reread this novel and catch all the little nuances I missed that foretold what was going to happen.If you like mindless drivel, don’t buy this book. If you enjoy a novel that keeps you turning the pages, then Jericho Solus is for you!

I've been asked about the process of creating a book trailer. It's not as difficult as you may think, but it does take time. Time to find the right pictures. Time to find the right music. And time to add all your special effects. Here's a link to Mine. I really like it, but I've learned that it's too long. Ideally, they should be around 60 to 90 seconds. The following information will guide you through your trailer making experience. You do not have to do this in the order I have listed. Decide what works best for you. There are several places online that offer free music. One of my favorites is Incompetech. On this site you can narrow down your choices to genre and feel. This really helps. There are other sites that are good too, like Partners in Rhymeand Open Music Archive   This list is by no means all-inclusive. Do a Google search and see what I mean!Next, step is to select your pictures. Again, there are several places to find pictures, my only warning is: Don't steal! Make sure the pictures you chose are free for the taking. How would you feel if someone stole the novel you worked so hard on? Check the policies of each site. Here are a few I have used. Dreamstime , Fotolia  Photobucket and my favorite: GrabbaggraphicsAnd don't forget to include the cover of your novel for maximum exposure.You will also need a software to make your trailer. If you have windows, software should be included on your computer called Windows Movie Maker. Do a search on your computer to find out. I don't know much about Mac except for the fact that I would love to have one! I would do a search on your Mac to find out.Supeflix and Roxio,to name two, offer software for use in your trailer making adventure also.  Once you have the pictures uploaded and have selected and uploaded your music, the real fun begins. Choose different animations to change from picture to picture. You want to be creative. Keeping the viewer's attention is the goal here. But be careful. If you go too crazy it will distract from your message, which is READ MY BOOK!Once you are happy with the results, upload it to Youtube, and your author page on Amazon. Don’t forget about Google video and Yahoo video. Good luck. Drop us an email when you have completed your master piece. I'd love to see it!
