Hi everyone! Did you have a good weekend? Hope so! I have a great book to share today, but before I do that, I'm starting to put together a release day buzz. If you can sign up to help post something the week of October 31st-November 8th, let me know. And, reviewers! If you're up for that, that would be epic! And don't forget the giveaway I have going on!
And this weekend I kinda went a little wild with iMovie and this was the result:
And now on to the awesome post! Sorry, lots of fun things to share today :)

From the moment he hatches, Marvin P. Tinkleberry knows he is destined for greatness. For one, he has a marvelous, well-groomed tail. For another he can puff out his throat pouch in the most spectacular way. Maybe the other lizards in his colony don't take him seriously, but he knows the truth. It lives in the marrow of his bones; he's going to be a hero.
When a feral cat threatens the lives of all who live at Stone Wall in the Garden by the Sea, Marvin knows it's HIS destiny to get rid of the fearsome beast. Travelling Over the Hill to find help should be as easy as snapping up a sleeping moth. But it doesn't take long for Marvin to see that the world beyond Stone Wall is not the same as his pampered life back at the garden. From the deadly Sucker Cactus Forest to deadly mongooses, danger lurks around every corner and Marvin will have to decide if he's willing to be the hero he's long bragged about being.
Bish Denham was raised in the U. S. Virgin Islands. Her mother's side of the family has lived in the Caribbean for over one hundred years and she still has plenty of family there whom she visits regularly.
She says, "Growing up in the islands was like living inside a history book. Columbus named the islands, Sir Francis Drake sailed through the area, and Alexander Hamilton was raised on St. Croix. Then there were the pirates who plied the waters. Life for me was magical, and through my writing I hope to pass on some of that magic."
Bish has known many lizards in her life. Marvin and Leeza are based on two that lived in her bedroom.
She is the author of Anansi and Company: Retold Jamaican Folk Tales which you can find on Amazon.com.

Okay, I'm having trouble posting for some reason so if it shows up multiple times, I apologize.
ReplyDeleteI signed up for your promo. And I LOVE your trailers. So awesome. :)
Congrats, Bish.
ReplyDeleteMeradeth, you really did an amazing job on your trailer! Love the tense music and all of the gritty, abstracted imagery. Does iMovie supply the images? I know zilch about it...
I found the images on a website that has free stock images and added them in. Or you could use your own. iMovie provides the rest, I just had to piece it all together :)
DeleteLoved the trailers.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Bish!
Bish, that is an entirely different idea for a book. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteI like the trailer, Meradeth!
Great trailer! So impressed when ppl do trailers themselves. And Marvin sounds like one cool little lizard(w/a nicely groomed tail) ;)
