Thank you for the nice comments. If you have a video program on your computer, you can make your own video. You just put pictures or jpegs into the storyboard, add lines and music, and save it. I have microsoft movie maker. Usually a computer comes with it. Check and see. You can also get a book trailer done professionally. Cos-productions is a great company to check out. Their videos and book trailers have won awards. Here's there url:www.cosproductions.com.
Do you have a free photobucket account? I convert all my pics/jpegs from photobucket to get the hmtl, then just cut and paste. It's a lot of fun. For example, just right click on a picture or moving image you like. Save the file, then upload it to your photobucket account, and then photobucket converts it into hmtl. Copy and paste the hmtl of the image on your website or blog. That's it! =) And photobucket is FREE. Woo Hoo!

A great place for you to be in AustinWith the festival that I created, I've been able to work up a bit of a Mailing List. I usually send out e-blasts periodically about certain events that are going on around the country, or shoutout a particular author doing a book signing, or looking for a review. I've made a few connections; nothing major, but it's a way to network.
Feel free to send me a message.
Lots of success with your new book. =)
