I’ve created a short trailer for Amanda in France: Fire in the Cathedral. Let me know what you think of it.
MJ Mallon posted a review of Amanda in France on her blog which made me very happy.

This series of books set in different countries is a fun and clever way to introduce youngsters to different cultures.

The trailer is first rate. The audio goes so well with the photos. If you created it–Double Dose of Hoorah!
Fine book review too.

I thought the song was perfect to go along with the pictures and words. I use Animoto which is quite easy to navigate. Most of the pictures are ones I took when I was there.

Fabulous trailer, Darlene! I am looking forward to travelling to Paris with Amanda! How wonderful to be a volunteer in a book store.
August 1, 2022 at 6:10 am
That trailer is wonderful. I feel the energy of the book.
August 1, 2022 at 6:31 am
It’s a fabulous trailer. Congratulations on MJ’s wonderful review!
August 1, 2022 at 6:49 am
I will share this soon and of course buy the book to give to my granddaughter to complete her series!
August 1, 2022 at 8:02 pm
Thanks, John. Your granddaughter is lucky to have a grandpa who supplies her with books!

I agree with the previous posters – it is a great trailer!
August 1, 2022 at 7:42 am
I love the trailer (although it came across as low res, but that might have been my wifi here). It was so much fun to see the familiar Paris scenes. Can’t wait to read the book!
August 1, 2022 at 9:06 am
Excellent trailer Darlene! Perfect tidbits of info and awesome scenes.
August 1, 2022 at 9:55 am
Love the trailer you created!! Beautifully done…love it!! Congrats on another great book review!! Well deserved Darlene!!
August 1, 2022 at 12:53 pm
Awesome trailer and review, Darlene! I greatly enjoyed this book and highly recommend it to others!
August 1, 2022 at 8:09 pm
Thanks, Donna. I appreciate all the good reviews I have had for this book so far. xo
August 1, 2022 at 3:15 pm
Lovely work, Darlene. I liked the music too. I just picked up your book.
August 1, 2022 at 8:10 pm
That’s great! I was pleased with the music too. Sometimes things just work out.
August 1, 2022 at 3:28 pm
Congratulations on the review, and I really like the trailer. The captions and images are wonderful, and will make readers want to read the book 🙂
August 1, 2022 at 8:11 pm
Thanks, Debra! It was fun to put together and Animoto makes it fairly easy. Except for two pictures, I used my own.
August 1, 2022 at 8:33 pm
Congratulations on the review, and I really liked the trailer. A nice song to accompany it: maybe a credit for the singer would be good?
August 1, 2022 at 9:32 pm
I chose this song from a list provided by Animoto, called Always by Fraser Smith and Josh Powell. I thought it worked perfectly. I’m pleased you liked the trailer.
August 1, 2022 at 10:03 pm
I have added the name and performers of the song but it won’t show up on this version. It will be on the YuoTube version though. Thanks.
August 2, 2022 at 12:58 am
Thank you, that’s good to hear. I think they deserve their moment in the spotlight 😊
August 1, 2022 at 9:36 pm
Congrats on the video trailer, never easy to do. Good luck with it all. I always add song too, so much better than silence or a piece of stock music that can irritate. x
August 1, 2022 at 9:53 pm
Thanks, Jane. Animoto makes it fairly easy and provides a list of songs to use royalty free. I always find one that works. Even though it is easy, it still takes me a long time to do it as I want it to be as close to perfect as possible. Glad you like it.
August 2, 2022 at 8:46 pm
Yes, I do. I have used Animoto for a long time. I had it free, then decided to pay. Then I went back to free because the choice of songs is better and there are more. But when paying, the logo is missing off the end. I didn’t find what I’d paid for was superior to the freebie.

I just returned from Paris. I sure wish I had run into Amanda. I know she would have been fun to hang out with.
August 1, 2022 at 9:55 pm
Amanda would have loved to run into you in Paris! I’m sure you had as good a time as Amanda did. (with a bit less drama!)
August 1, 2022 at 10:00 pm
Love your trailer, Darlene, and am looking forward to reading it.
August 2, 2022 at 12:51 am
Fabulous trailer and review, Darlene. I’m ready to go to France!
August 2, 2022 at 1:56 am
Bravo, Darlene, a lovely trailer. I think I saw it pop up on YT. I’ll look for it there and like and share it. My book will come when it releases.
August 2, 2022 at 1:58 am
I am working on getting it on YouTube. If you see it there, let me know. Glad you like it.
August 2, 2022 at 2:15 am
Hi Darlene, I agree the video trailer is a great way to promote your book. Well done. I might steal your idea. Best of look with this new publication.
August 2, 2022 at 3:31 am
Thank you, Chuck. Creating a trailer with Animoto is not difficult and it is fun.
