The Elemental Series is Coming to the UK (+ Trailer)!

I don't really post news posts anymore, but this is something I just HAVE to talk about....

THE ELEMENTAL SERIES BY BRIGID KEMMERER IS COMING TO THE UK!!!!!

I am SO excited! Regular readers will know how much I love this series! It's absolutely incredible! So much so, I myself have actually emailed a few UK publishers about this series, practically begging them to publish it over here. I can't claim credit for it being published by Much-in-Little though, an imprint of Contable and Robinson.

Storm by Brigid Kemmerer - Secrets are hard to keep when your life's at stake.

Becca Chandler is suddenly getting all the guys; all the ones she doesn't want. When she saves Chris Merrick from a beating in the school parking lot, everything is about to change. Chris is different from the guys at school... really different. He can control water just like his brothers can control fire, wind, and earth. The brothers are powerful and dangerous. And now that Becca knows the truth, so is she.

When the mysterious new kid, Hunter, turns up, Becca thinks she can trust him. But when he goes head-to-head with Chris, Becca's left wondering who's hiding the most dangerous truth of all. From Goodreads

But yes, they're coming! The first book in the series, Storm, is coming to the UK on 17th April 2013, and you can watch the UK trailer below!

All Our Yesterdays by Cristin Terrill Book Trailer - Interview with Actress Hannah Mariska

Earlier today we heard from Casey Davoren of Dark Readers about the experience of creating the official trailer for All Our Yesterdays by Cristin Terill for Bloomsbury Children's Books. Now it's the turn of Hannah Mariska of My Book Journey, who starred as Em in the trailer.

How did you get into acting? And, more specifically, acting in book trailers? How long have you been acting in them?

I’ve wanted to act since I was a kid, but in school I was really shy and didn’t have drama lessons I could go to. I started going to theatre groups almost 10 years ago, and eventually got the courage to audition for Cardiff’s Everyman Theatre production of Closer by Patrick Marber and got the part of Alice! As my passion is to act on screen I was really excited to be thrown together with other lovely book bloggers as the divergent team to promote Veronica Roth’s first book Divergent. That was when I met Casey from Dark Readers and The Bitter Productions, and since then we’ve been working together on book trailers.

All Our Yesterdays by Cristin Terrill Book Trailer - Interview with Director Casey Davoren

Our UK bloggers are quite a talented lot. You may know quite a few bloggers who are also aspiring writers, but there are other skills are putting to use in an effort to get people hearing about books. Like creating book trailers, and starring in them.

The lovely - and super talented - Casey Davoren of Dark Readers and Hannah Mariska of My Book Journey have their own fan-made book trailers production team, The Bitter Productions. So talented is Casey, she was contacted by Bloomsbury Children's Books to create the official UK trailer for All Our Yesterdays by Cristin Terrill, with the help - and acting talents - of Hannah. Both ladies have agreed to talk to us about how that came about and their experience. First up is Casey.

How did you get into creating book trailers? How long have you been making them?

I started making book trailers maybe two years ago. I was making random videos for awhile on my YouTube channel but its mostly book trailers now. When I attended college and studied film my passion just grew. I wanted a big production company one day were we help promote children to read in any forms of video. Technology is only getting bigger. I am working on it.
