Pentecost. A Thriller Novel. Book Trailer.

http://www.amazon.com/Pentecost-A-Thriller-ebook/dp/B004JHYA6A/
When Jesus of Nazareth rose from the dead, the apostles took stones from his tomb as a symbol of their brotherhood. 
At Pentecost, the fire of the Holy Spirit empowered the stones and the Apostles performed miracles in God's name. Forged in the fire and blood of the Christian martyrs, the Pentecost stones were handed down through generations of Keepers who kept their power and location secret.
Until now.
The Keepers are being murdered, the stones stolen by those who would use them for evil in a world transformed by religious fundamentalism. Oxford University psychologist Morgan Sierra is forced into the search when her sister and niece are held hostage. She is joined by Jake Timber from the mysterious ARKANE, a British government agency specializing in paranormal and religious experience.
From ancient Christian sites in Spain, Italy and Israel to the far reaches of Iran and Tunisia, Morgan and Jake must track down the stones through the myths of the early church in a race against time before a new Pentecost is summoned, this time powered by the fire of evil.

Pentecost. A Thriller. Available Feb 7 2011 from Amazon.com.

Joanna - I liked it very much. I liked the pace, no lingering, but agree that a slightly longer pause on the book and download link might be helpful. Well done!

@psandsanis Thanks Patricia - I appreciate the feedback. I may have to redo with longer pause at the end!

This would be better if you slowed it down a little and maybe used less 'in you face' music.

The speed makes it readable only for speed readers. The music is too startling. It's dramatic, but my immediate thought was to pause it and switch to something else because of the sound.

@muskndusk Thanks for your feedback. I think book trailers are like books. Different people like different types. I wanted a fast pace, but I acknowledge it needs speed reading! Thanks again, Joanna

I've seen some really bad book trailers but this is very good. However, just a wee bit over the top. Good job and good luck!

@maxipad1 Thanks! I wanted it to be a bit over the top, like a blockbuster movie! Thanks so much.

Hi Joanna...got the link to here via Dana( Savvy Mrkteer). Having just had my first book trailer done for my 3rd book( I am I: The In-Dweller of your Heart) I now know how much effort goes into these promotion elements of a book launch. I loved the trailer, full of intrique and mystery. I know its well over a year ago now but hope the book went really well for you! God Bless Dave AscensionForYou.co.uk

Nice musical score

Good job, Joanna. In the future you might consider more text effects, fade in/out. I've offered my trailer as a video response. please visit my YouTube page and respond with your trailer so I can get it up there too!

I think I agree with some of the other comments here that this moves too quickly, albeit I think the message looks interesting. Music too feels a little bit James Bond but I don't think that would matter if the pace of the video were slowed perhaps....(oddly!) And you def need to leave a longer pause on the link image - i I hadn't realised that was what it was until I saw anotheryour link on Twitter and it went to an error page. but all in all very well done! twitter @kareninglis)

Joanna,

Like I told you on your website. I love this trailer. With me at least, it accomplished its purpose; I am going to buy the book and read it ASAP! Look for a very positive review on Amazon.com as soon as I finish it.
