I was told by a bookseller that I should go comment about book trailer stats on a blog that is talking about book trailers. Then I saw the blog is Dear Author and I was thrilled! Love the blog! I've commented here before on other topics. But I started watching that video and just about died laughing!! That is so clever and so hilarious!!! Kudos all around! I don't want to change the mood by giving out a bunch of stats and facts about book trailers. But, if anyone is interested I'd be happy to bore you to tears. That video made me laugh and cheered me up. I'm off to see what else they have on their site. Thanks, Jane!! Too funny!

Thank you. Knowing Jill, I'm betting she will now insist that I give her a percentage of my sales proceeds, but it's great to know this sparked your memory. I hope you enjoy the book.

The visual of a face and personality to go with an author's name is really going to increase the recognition factor for me. I'd forgotten that I wanted to read "Your Mouth Drives Me Crazy." After the HelenKay interview, I don't think I'll forget again. Of course, if they weren't so well done, it'd be book trailers all over again.

Even though Jill read the questions, I can recognize her voice anywhere by now. You played a vital role. You caused another Author Talk to be born and well your icon was used there, so don't be so shy! ;) Now, now Jane. Even though Jill read the questions, I can recognize her voice anywhere by now.

Jill and Gena are my OKRWA home girls and as a marketing consultant and author myself, I think they've done an amazing job of creating a fun promotional tool that is authentic to who they are. (Yes, they are like that in real life, too!) Kudos, chicks! Who needs to watch TV when you’ve got AuthorTalk to keep you entertained?

There was this one time Jill interviewed herself about Primal Instincts and it was just hilarious, since thee diting was simply amazing. The trademark line is usually "Can we stop now? Your voice is giving me a headache!" Hearing Jill say this to herself just made me laugh. Anyways you were fab Jane! Gena and Jill get to do this a lot you know on their blogs.

I love Author Talk. Also, Jane, I agree with you 100% on the book trailers. There has only been one I've seen that I was so impressed with that it made me want to read the book more. On the other hand, there have been some book trailers that made me a little <strong>less</strong> eager to buy the book... I finally got to watch that video – and how fun! I love Author Talk.

I heart Jill and Gena (a.k.a. Gina Snowater)! I think my favorite Author Talk moment, besides Jill renaming my daughter from Kristin to Krissy, is when Gena gives birth to Kresley's book. HILARIOUS. And I'll add my vote for you guys to interview an editor! As always Author Talk is witty and wonderful. I heart Jill and Gena (a.k.a. Gina Snowater)!

I am totally loving Jill & Gena's authortalk videos. I can't wait to see what they come up with next. Even my 13 year old daughter who has no clue about any of the authors or their books laughed hysterically with me during the Kresley Cole interview. Great stuff. LOL Jill!!!

Her questions were a lot of fun, and it was a little different being on the other side of the kind of questions I usually ask : ) Author Talk is so much fun to make, and I'm so glad that you all are enjoying them. We have some wonderful authors coming up and more to tape at National, so you'll be saddled with AT for at least a little while longer. Gena's computer crashed about an hour ago, otherwise I know she'd be thanking you, too. But she's not here, and probably won't be for awhile, so let's all feel free to talk about her.
