Yes, they are coming; book trailer videos for some of my books.
I haven’t decided which, but probably the Ordo Lupus series, Iron series and Attack Hitler’s Bunker!
I have already put together rough versions for Too Bright the Sun and Ordo Lupus and the Temple Gate. The scripts are below. I am always looking for input and feedback so if you want anything changed in the scripts, please comment below. If you want to see the rough videos, you will need to have a subscription to the newsletter and have a gmail (or yahoo) account. If you have both, you should already be able to see the videos by clicking on the links below. If you don’t, then sign up for the newsletter right away!

Script (stage directions/effects are in italic)
Scene 1 – black background – 1/2 seconds
I could see the Ionian scream but we couldn’t hear him.
Scene 2 – Background of Jupiter fades in.
Jake Nanden is hell-bent on revenge for the death of his friend by an incompetent military commander, years ago.
Jake is a highly decorated Major in the Jupiter Wars against the Ionian Militia, former iron miners now allied with a mysterious alien force.
(Fade in laser pistol X.77)
But Jake is also a replicant, a clone; despised by all outside the military.
Scene 3
Torn between love for Jena Ω, his beautiful military psychologist, Katie, a fearless space pilot and the mission that will either give him satisfaction or death.
Beginning of soundtrack chorus. Fade in Clover Leaf rifle.
But all that changes when enemy forces get their hands on a powerful new weapon; a laser rifle, whose only maker logo is a clover leaf.
Friends will become enemies and enemies will become friends as conflicts escalate…

Script
Scene 1 – Black background.
On the Eiffel Tower viewing platform, Georgina had cut a hole in the safety fence with wire-cutters – big enough to climb through. She stared into the distance with a look of defiance in her face as she shouted:
“Don’t stop me!”
An ex-M.I.6 agent is walking his daughter to school when a slit in the sky opens up and something grabs her. Her mangled body is found but the death is unexplained.
Years later, the police begin to suspect him when a pattern of similar murders occur, moving towards Paris. He goes on the run to clear his name and save his marriage.
Scene 2 – Fade in picture of Georgina’s face and scroll up. Music moves to chorus.
Torn between his wife and Georgina, a French beauty, being pursued by a Catholic sect of assassins, things only become more confusing when the assassins save his life.
Scroll Georgina’s face up even more to show strange symbols.
Scene 3 – Revert to black background.
There are strange forces at work around him.

If he can stay alive, he won’t rest until he has slain his daughter’s killer.
