As some of you who have read my blogs here and about already know, I don’t have the pet gene. Well, it’s sad to admit it, but I am also missing another gene — the one that makes girls excited to pick out clothes and hair-do-das and colors.

Growing up, I would sleep until the very last minute, jumping out of bed, grabbing a clean shirt/top and pair of jeans (they were de rigueur in the 70s, you know!) and rushing off to high school. I would pass by my younger sister who’d been up for at least 2 hours showering, choosing her clothes with care, mixing and matching clothes and hair gee-gaws and then blowing her hair dry and styling it to within an inch of its life.  We’d arrive at school at about the same time.

When it came time to pick out my wedding gown, I wanted a plain, white, medieval-cut dress. The dressmaker, a friend of my mom, begged me to let her add some pearls to the bodice because she couldn’t stand it to be sooooo plain. Again, being the 70s, I wanted my hair hanging straight down but had to compromise and wear a veil…. it was a plain white veil (evil grin).

I would rather walk the aisles at Staples or Office Depot and choose between an array of ballpoint vs gel pens then decide which dress fits/looks better or which color belt I should wear. So, it was with great trepidation that the designer of my book trailer asked my input with the really bad words – “How do you think it looks?”

Oh noooooooooooooooooooo! Don’t ask me that question!!

I’d rather debate the origins of the universe than answer that.

So, as the woman who went down the hallway in the RWA hotel at WDW to find someone to tell her how her new fancy-dress-party dress looked, I did what I had to do — I asked other women! But unlike the strangers I approached at the conference, this time I asked my friends.

The process was not painless (kind of like when I buy new clothes and have to wear them out) but I simply love the results. It captures the feeling of the story (dark and stormy), the location (the cliff on the northern coast of Scotland), the sexual tension and the characters, too! Did I tell you I love it?

So, here it is for you –

What do you think of it? Do you like book trailers? Do they make you look for the book? Post a comment today and tomorrow and I’ll pick one person to win an advanced copy of the book — which will be released on September 28th.

Terri is thrilled to see the release of A STORM OF PLEASURE coming up so soon. Visit her website to learn more about her books, book events and signings and other very important and interesting stuff…LOL! www.terribrisbin.com will get you there!
