It’s becoming more and more popular to make a video trailer for novels these days. I’m not sure how much marketing influence they have, but it came with my Pump Up Your Book tour (beginning next month) so here it is! I put a lot of work into this in the end. Most video trailers […]

A place to talk about my writing and publiations, past, present, and future.
Wait? Did I see Cassie on Amazon/B&N already?C

Cassie is on Twitter
I confess, I’ve never really known what to do with twitter. As Christine Amsden, I mostly tweet my new blog posts, and hey, maybe that’s good enough. Most of what I have to say that’s important at all goes up on my blog sooner or later. Plus, I’m a novelist — saying something in 140 […]
