Stalked by Flames book trailer and behind the scenes pics

I’ve spent the last few days working on the book trailer for Stalked by Flames.  It took months of planning and coordination to put together since I had to get extra model shots done during the cover shoot (back in April) for it, along with finding the right music and clips to include in there.  You can check it out below.  Expect to see some footage similar to how things would appear in the book after Earth is attacked by dragons and a shot of a guy who looks close to how I see Aidan in my head (with some fire added around him, of course).  Thanks to Claudia McKinney at Phatpuppy Art) for doing the custom art for the still pics in the video!

 

Below are the behind-the-scenes pics from the cover/promo shoot my photographer (Teresa Yeh) was kind enough to send.  The model (Isabella Capri) who poses as Bailey had to get rather beaten up and bloody for one of the shots.  I was impressed with the amazing job she did pulling off the look and with the make-up artist (Nadya Rutman) for the realistic work she did getting the model ready (along with her assistant, Katy).  Isabella was kind enough to donate her own shorts and tank top for the shot since we didn’t want to mess up anything new.

Everything else the model is wearing I purchased through online retailers with the help of my cover design team (Sarah, Rachel, and Kristy) in choosing the right pieces.  One item was custom-made for the model.  The leg garter harness you see on the book cover and another shot in the video.  Thanks to Alison Esposito at Wild Wolf Leatherwork for putting the extra effort into crafting it just for this book series.  She did a great job!

Book trailer for Darkness Divides

I’ve got some more fun stuff for you all to help you get exited for the next book in the Sensor Series, Darkness Divides.  This book trailer took months of planning to make it happen, but I’m very pleased with how it turned out, and grateful to the team of people who helped me put it together.

To warn you, I have some subtle hints in the backgrounds that may not make full sense to you now, but will after you read the book.  Just know every part of this trailer was done for a reason.  Hope you enjoy it!

 

 

For those who missed it on Facebook, I’m also posting a promo shot of Lucas and Melena together.  It’s meant to capture the scene at the end of Chained by Darkness when they confessed how they felt about each other.  Of course, we embellished it a bit with the fire to add intensity to the scene 🙂
