Book Trailers A Great Way To Promote Your Book via YouTube
One very effective tactic to promote and publicize your book is to create a “Book Trailer.”
A book trailer is like a movie trailer in that it allows someone to preview a book both visually and
via audio. A video book trailer brings the book to life and gives the potential reader a sneak peak
at the contents. Westwind Communications will then post that book trailer on YouTube and... here’s the
best part, we’ll add it to more than 100 additional video sites online for even greater exposure.
Besides the immediate visual impact another big benefit of a book trailer is how is
improves search engine ranking for an author’s main web site. The book trailer on YouTube becomes searchable
by key words which are carefully selected to attract interest and drive more traffic to your web site
or your Amazon page.
We’ve have had terrific success with book trailers with some obtaining 77,000 views
in a matter of days. One of my client’s videos in the music genre has had 1.7 million views of his video
on Teacher Tube alone.
Check out examples of book trailers we’ve commission or distributed below or visit the

Sikander ~ Salahuddin Kan
SIKANDER,
http://www.sikanderbook.com is the sweeping tale of the son of a Pakistani middle-class family. It's
1986. Seventeen-year-old Sikander, dreams of studying and living in America, but in a blind rage after
a family quarrel, he leaves his Peshawar, Pakistan home. Encountering mujahideen warriors, he joins
them in their fight against the occupying Soviets in neighboring Afghanistan.
American assistance
is stepped up with advanced weapons, like the Stinger missile, and the mujahideen begin prevailing against
the Soviets. After just two years following Sikander's arrival, a Soviet withdrawal begins and Sikander
returns as a war-wise hero, settling down to build a normal life in Pakistan.
Discovering romance,
Sikander, becomes a happily married successful entrepreneur in Pakistan, when he finds his life abruptly
thrown into turmoil as he's caught up in aftermath of 9/11. He must draw on the lessons from his mujahideen
past as he takes on a perilous journey reaching as far as America, changing his life forever.
SIKANDER takes us from the pricey suburbs of Peshawar to the primitive war-torn landscape of Soviet-occupied
Afghanistan, to the placid serenity of Scotland, through the camps of Guantanamo, and finally, corporate
America. It is a 21 year journey through freedom and captivity, love and loss, wealth and poverty, dignity
and humiliation, and transgression and redemption. A rare glimpse of a non-radical mainstream Muslim's
experience of the West, SIKANDER is a journey of growth and self-discovery, and will touch the humanity
of its readers.
Grady Harp, a Top 3 Amazon reviewer, adds: "Were there more novels like this
astonishing, absorbing and challenging one by M. Salahuddin Khan then perhaps the confusion and chaos
of the world response to the seemingly endless wars of the past decades would ease. Khan launches the
reader into a maze of pathways of understanding just why we have become so confused and overwhelmed
by the cross-section of Christian and Islam beliefs. In ultimately narrowing this epic to the interaction
between an American soldier guard and an innocent Pakistani detainee, Khan ... allows us to see the
madness of war and its consequences on individuals no matter what their prior backgrounds can mean.
This is a book that will affect the thinking of all who are fortunate enough to read it, providing a
path to understanding and appreciation for human rights"
Duane Evans, a former CIA Officer and
author of North From Calcutta says "Intricate in detail and vast in scope, SIKANDER is a journey worth
taking.."
The Sacramento and San Francisco Book Review calls SIKANDER and "An epic novel, reaching
across the years of conflict in Afghanistan, from Soviet occupation to the post-9/11 years. Khan's depictions
of everyday Afghan life... provides an eye opening look at something often glossed over in search of
easy depictions of good and evil."
Often compared to Kite Runner, Sikander offers a fresh perspective
on America's longest war.

Letters to Rosy ~ C. Ellene Bartlett
Letters
to Rosy is a story told in epistolary style using the exchange of letters between two elderly lady friends
to uncover a compelling story of romance, mystery, crime and adventure and concluding with a surprise
ending no reader would ever figure out in advance. It is a gripping novel of twists and turns leaving
the reader in suspense about the many events surrounding its characters the disappearance of Sasha,
the insanity of Marsha, Kens destructive nature, and Mendys abduction and rape while husband Trevor
is having an affair with a red-headed beauty.
Reviewer Debra Gaynor found Letters to Rosy to
be a gripping novel. I read it in one sitting. I had to find the answers to the many questions . Letters
To Rosy is uniquely written in the form of epistolary. Bartlett took what seemed to be random threads
and wove them together into a delightful mystery. Reviewer Frani Brandt enjoyed reading the letters
of endearment between two childhood friends now in the twilight times of their lives and the interjection
of humor and spunkiness in those "old gals" was refreshing even through times of aging and sickness.
