This was made by author and husband. It's a trifle long, but will probably hold interest. And definitely "viral"... notice I'm posting it here, for instances.And FAR superior to the cookie-cutter "professionally made" vids people pay hundreds for and turn out to be just slides of reviews or plot blurbs over stock stills.As I've said here before... if you're a writer, you have creativity working for you. Better to use it than money. This shows that you can actually get BETTER value using creativity than tossing money.

Lin I could not use your link up there because you've got a period captured in the beginning of it, but I kept on. Here is the link... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrQ_o7FmwKo

I have to say as much as I liked the video - it's brilliant! - I also love her website too. Very creative, and I hope she sells loads of books!

Sorry, Pam.   Suddenly my posts here have no spaces or line breaks in them.  Weird.

I sure hope that both the audio and video that they used was in the public domain - otherwise they could be in trouble. I do agree, however, that using public domain video is much more interesting then using public domain photos.

There were notes on the site where I first saw the vid citing public domain sources for the videos.

I thought it was long, boring, stupid, and could not figure out their point or what they were selling. I clicked off halfway through, so I acknowledge their point might have been made after I left.

If this video has gone viral, it's probably due to the nostalgia value of the old footage.

Because it's fresh and funny and different from all the cookie-cutter book videos being pumped out.It's way to long, but lots of people sat through it and enjoyed it.

An intriguing video - it was humorous in its approach, but not good enough to pique my interest in purchasing that book. Hopefully, I won't make the same mistake when I get around to it myself. --Joe
