Book 3 of the Laurian Pentology -- Release Date Set!

[Danny Birt]

Hi, all! I'm a newcomer to Wonderlands, and as I seem to be reading in many other threads, it's common for "fresh meat" to introduce their literary or artistic talents to the group. Ergo, this thread.

The quick and dirty is that I am a science fiction and fantasy author and filker, with literary works in several publications. The current fantasy series I'm working on is the Laurian Pentology, starting with "Ending an Ending," continuing with "Beginning," and the third book "Beginning an Ending" is due out in April 2010.

For book trailer, music, and more, head to my website, http://www.DannyBirt.com ...I think that's a long enough introduction, don't you? :)

Hi Danny - you sound busy! I enjoyed your trailer on the website - can I ask what programme you used to make the display before uploading it to YouTube? I am curious as to the best approach. Would Powerpoint work? Or do you need a special video programme... yep, I am clueless on this subject but dying to give it a go!

Hi, Deborah,

I used Windows Movie Maker to create my book trailer. It's not too difficult -- I was able to pick it up without any tutoring, though what I created was hardly 'advanced.' Glad to hear that you enjoyed the book trailer, and good luck on creating your own!
