Here’s a 4 minute video assembled by my daughter Alayna (her website is HERE) in which I discuss the basic concept behind my upcoming novel, “The Telling.” Love to hear your thoughts.

Very well done, Mike and Alayna.
Mike, That concept is a grabber. I can hardly wait to read the book. And my compliments to Alayna for her work putting together the video.
Sounds like a book I’d like to read. And a lot of other people too!
A) I love the concept. I’ve always been into the whole “Prophets as whackjob loners” POV. As a whackjob loner it appeals to my ego. 😉 And you’ve got a lot of great hooks–cloistered in a bookstore!–that make me want to read it RIGHT NOW.
B) This is one of the best Book Trailers I’ve seen. I like that it’s you talking about your story, sharing your enthusiasm. That was a really engaging way to present it and it makes me all the more eager for the book.
C) Will the release date for e-book be the same as for hardcopy?
Love this concept. Can’t wait to read the book then see the blockbuster movie.
So impressed by this video promo. You do a marvelous job telling your story. I’m so intrigued that I look forward to reading it. Best of luck!
Yes, I want to read it. It sounds exciting. You are obviously excited about it, and that means a lot.
The Telling sounds like an interesting book, Mike.
Wow! Excellent story concept. Great video!
No pre-order up yet? That’s a shame.
Sounds good though.
Video was well done as well.
In answer to some of your questions: The Telling isn’t releasing until May 2012. Cover, presale, and e-book are all in the hands of the publisher. Thanks for all your encouraging words!
