Never Been Viral Before…

…but the fabulous Nikki has done it! Don’t think it’ll last [g], but her terrific book-trailer at http://www.youtube.com/user/voyagesoftheartemis?feature=mhum#p/a/u/0/D-BRb2ipU5I has had 2750 clicks in the last day and a half—causing YouTube to ask whether we want to take ads for our “viral video.” [g]

We don’t, but we surely do appreciate all the clicks! (And we hope you’ll enjoy the book as much as the trailer…!)

  1. I was one of those clicks. I played it at least 3 times. I loved the beautiful music.

  2. That's a good virus to be responsible for!

  3. Dear Daisy–

    Thank you!

  4. When I first started seeing trailers posted for upcoming book releases I was puzzled, but they're definitely fun! Congrats on Exile's going viral! I was one of those clicks yesterday. Nikki did a super job!

  5. I was a click. Anything to see Jamie (sigh).

  6. I feel love sick from watching it. :)

  7. Dear Estee–

    Well, you know…it's probably a good idea to get the Outlander:The Musical CD to play while reading it. [g] Atmospheric, you know?

  8. Loved it can't wait for Tuesday. I will be at your event Tuesday night. =) See ya there!

  9. I have had my Outlander the Musical since about a week after you first posted the link. I love it. Can't wait for the launch party for The Exile

  10. I am so excited!!! Can't wait for it!! Clickety-click…

  11. Hi Diana,

    We've featured your (Nikki's – good job!)video trailer on the SiWC blog today. http://www.siwc.ca/blog

    Enjoy the lead-up to launch day!
    Kathy

  12. See how much we love Jamie & Claire? Please don't let Book 8 be the last!

  13. I was wondering if there was a schedule for the times you would be at NY Comic Con. Will you be there all 3 days or just a portion of them?

  14. Dear Anonymous–

    I'll be doing a panel (with the editor of THE EXILE) at Comic Con on Friday the 8th, 3-4:15 PM, and then doing a book-signing (in the Signing Area, wherever that is) right afterward. So far as I know, that'll be my only appearance there.

    –Diana

  15. I couldn't stay away…visiting the site several times yesterday. The close up of Jamie's face is wonderful, those eyes especially. And Claire…the artist does beautiful faces.
    I have the CD, having ordered it weeks ago and am very familiar with the music by now…and combined with the visual I am not surprised that the 'viral' presentation received so much attention. Good job, Nikki, thanks Diana

  16. Will there be a German version of The Exhile as well? I know my Mom would LOVE to read it but unfortunately she doesn't speak english.

  17. Dear Linda–

    Well, the German publisher is not convinced that there's a market for graphic novels in Germany, but depending how THE EXILE does elsewhere, I suppose they might change their minds. [g] And/or if a lot of people write to Bertelsmann asking for it.

  18. So I guess I will need to start convincing some people over here… :) I'd rather not translate the whole thing to my Mom, reading it out loud to her while we both admire the wedding night scene… :D

  19. Count me among the clickers! Beautiful job on the trailer to add to the anticipation. I'll be at the bookstore bright and early on Tuesday. Hope you can sign my copy of The Exile in Westbury, NY in October – we'll be driving there from Western Massachusetts!

  20. I was a clicker! Great trailer, beautiful music. Can't wait to get my copy!
