Book Trailer: The Seventh Equinox by Matthew Warner

I'll be honest: I've never really been a fan of book trailers. To me, trailers are great for movies because they utilize the same medium, and give you a general idea of what the sights and sounds will be in that movie. Books are a bit of a different beast. They don't employ CGI or other visual and auditory effects. While many of us authors write with a soundtrack in mind, it isn't necessarily what they reader will hear when he or she is immersed in our world.

But every now and again, something comes along that breaks away from what I expect and catches my eye. This trailer from my friends at Raw Dog Screaming Press is one such instance. It certainly got my attention, and now I kind of want to see someone make a movie version of this book too. Check it out and let me know what you think, whether of this one in particular or book trailers in general.

THE SEVENTH EQUINOX by Matthew Warner will debut on November 6th but the pre-order starts today and we're celebrating with the reveal of the book trailer:
“The best part of Warner’s easy-paced, almost pastoral tale is the friction between Bessie’s attraction to Robin, her longing to believe in magic, and her fear of trusting again—all of which run deep. This is a world-shattering crisis acted out in small scale, with a subtle appeal to romantic fantasy.” —Publishers Weekly

From the Back:
Her recent divorce left Bessie Henderson on guard against being exploited by any man. When she escapes to Augusta, Virginia, she’s captivated by the small town’s charm, but also its quirks: her intrusive elderly neighbor, the secret labyrinth of caverns beneath her Victorian house — and the man hiding from the law in her root cellar.
But Robin Goodfellow is not just a criminal. He’s a fertility demigod called the Hunter. He’s been injured, and he needs Bessie’s life force to survive. By the spring equinox, he must complete the grand Hunt, an ancient ritual of environmental renewal, or the planet will slowly die.
As the equinox nears, the couple must reconcile their growing feelings for each other. Bessie may not be ready to trust and give to another man, especially one who takes so much from her. And Robin must choose between love and duty — a duty that means life for the planet but death for himself.
