I've been taking Katie Davis's Video Idiot Boot Camp and learning a ton of fun stuff about making videos. The lessons are comprehensive and I've only begun to scratch the surface, but here's my first little creation, made through an awesome app called Powtoon:
The plan is I'll put it somewhere on my website, perhaps as part of a larger piece. Stay tuned!! (Or Tooned......)
Thanks, Linda. I definitely recommend Katie's "camp". You can do it at your own pace, and review things over and over (that's what I have to do.) I'm having fun with it! I plan to do little teaching vids for each of my books.

I'm a children's book author, mom, and former high school teacher. FAITHFUL (Speak/Penguin 2010) and FORGIVEN (2011) are companion historical romances set in the western US. SIRENS (2012) is a YA romance set in 1925. I'm currently at work on a YA science fiction romance in which a dark mystery rules and a fantasy middle grade featuring angels and devils and one human boy who has sold his soul. I love dogs, chocolate, my family and my big Montana skies.

That's very clever!!!! I need to get some video help myself, because I'm definitely a novice.
