We Disappear Trailer
I've spent the last few weeks working on a promotional video / trailer for We Disappear. Michael and I (and my HarperCollins marketing team and I) have been discussing the possible publicity options for writers, and I've been wanting to make something like this for a while; after a couple of potential collaborations fell through--collaborations with folks who know more about creating this sort of thing--I finally took the advice from the excellent Joseph G-L to just do it myself. So I did. The result is below. Thank you to Brent Covington for letting me borrow his movie camera; Apple for the super user-friendly iMovie; and the saintly Gordon Sharp of Cindytalk for granting me the use of his song "In This World." I'll post this on YouTube and my Myspace page and HarperPerennial's weblog, as well.

Hi, Scott, I've been lurking 'round your blog for a while, but I felt compelled to finally log in and give props for a fantastic job on the video. Your choice of music, as always, is flawless. (And, uh, not to sound stalkery, but do you have a last.fm profile? I'd kill to peruse your playlist(s).)
Can't wait for the new book!

Congratulations!
