On Friday the 30th of March, we had the virtual launch for Depth of Deception via Facebook.  People RSVP'd for their chance to win one of five (5) autographed copies of the e-book.   Yes, that's right personal *autographed* e-books of DEPTH OF DECEPTION.  See more in our FAQ.

All the names were put into a  bowl and my little daughter drew out five names.  We put a video of the draw on the Facebook event page for people to see the winners being drawn "live". Well, as "live" as it could be, given upload time. 

All five prize copies have been sent and I'm grateful for the enthusiasm thus far. 
The e-book is still available at the introductory rate of $0.99 click here to buy on the site of your choice.

Thanks to everyone for their support!

Posted a new 1-minute trailer for Depth of Deception.

A new 40-second teaser trailer has been posted on-line for DEPTH OF DECEPTION.

Enjoy!

Today I'm working on the final edits of the manuscript before reformatting it for e-book publication.
The book trailer is on-line (and on our home page).

Though editing/reformatting is not the most exciting of tasks, this is the last phase before there is an actual book for people to read.

Here is a still taken from the set while we were filming the book trailer.  All those years of working in film & television (and my own short films) is coming in handy. 

After my daughter aged the newspaper story in coffee (see yesterday's post) we let it dry overnight.  Here is the final result of the aging process, ready to be filmed on Wednesday for the book trailer for 'Depth of Deception'. (NOTE: The sketch

Years ago, I used to work in the Art Department of various film and television productions.  One of my many jobs was creating prop newspapers and (sometimes) aging them for camera.

I stopped working those long hours after my daughter was born, and turned to writing (with some directing on the side).  Today my daughter wanted to assist me as I went back to my roots and recreated old newspapers for the 'book trailer' for DEPTH OF DECEPTION.

Here she is helping me age our prop (a Titanic newspaper headline) using coffee.
