Turbulent Sea - Christine Feehan Song Lyrics

It's been exciting working in the book trailer industry these last 6 years. One of the benefits to the job is that I get to read the books in advance.

One of our most popular authors that we create video and audio products for is #1 bestselling author Christine Feehan.

She has several series, each of them amazing. If you've never read her I urge you to pick up one of her books, but warn you that they are very addictive!

The Dark Series or Carpathian Series is a vampire hunter series with Carpathians who are vampire-like but not evil and who are in fact vampire hunters. These dark and brooding heroes are the stuff of legend and are, in my opinion, the reason vampire romance novels hit it so big over the last few years.

The Ghostwalker series is a military paranormal series that is a huge hit with men and with military personnel. I think the research that goes into these books is very extensive and it lends to the realism of the stories.

The Drake Sister Series is about 7 magical sisters and I have to say that I love this series so much! It is a wonderful feel good series that promotes the love of family while still bringing you action, adventure and even some scary moments.

The upcoming Drake Sister release is my favorite for many reasons. The couple in the book are hot! They conflict is believable and you spend so much of your time caught up in the romance and the intrigue it's amazing! The book trailer for the video is a music video! I wrote the script for the book trailer and I wrote the lyrics to the song.

For anyone interested in the words here they are-

Turbulent Sea lyrics by Sheila Clover English

Darkness lives inside me

A secret that I hide

The light that comes from all the rest

Is lost upon the tide

A touch of lightning – magic

Has left me marked and cold

I want…I need…I crave for me

A love that sells my soul

Like a turbulent sea

Pulling at me

I’m drowning in passion and fear

With all that I am – or ever will be

I must fight for what I hold dear

And I fight

For what is right

But shadows follow…

Me into the night

I sing and I cry and I scream at the night

To change an unchangeable fate

The wave crashes

In my heart

Darkness follows

Light departs

Like a turbulent sea

Pulling at me

I’m drowning

Publishers following COS trends

Without a doubt Circle of Seven Productions is the trend setter for book video creation and marketing. COS has been making book trailers since 2002, but started to revolutionize the trend in 2004 when they made a deal with a major movie theater chain and started showing book video in movie theaters.
A year later Harlequin decided to give it a try with a video by Heather Graham. And, today HarperCollins is determined to see if they can utilize movie theaters with the same effectiveness COS has experieneced. You can see the video HarperCollins made - HERE.

The COS Newsletter has many publishers, booksellers and competitors subscribed to it. Often, information newly released by COS is found later in blogs, competitor newsletters or as publisher's press releases as they utilize COS marketing ideas.

So, the question is - What's next?

After COS announced an online tv station for readers last year others found the idea to have merit. Simon and Schuster announced recently that they have started their own online site for book video called bookvideos.tv.

Not only have publishers found book videos to be a great way to engage readers and entice them to buy, but booksellers have embraced the new age of video with Borders now offering book video in their newsletters, on their main Borders Media site and a special page just for romance. Barnes and Noble have their Meet The Writers program and are also taking book trailers to enhance their reader's buying experince as seen on these pages-

Safe Harbor
Lord of the Fading Lands
And many, many more.

Authors are creating their own tv players for their site like Douglas Clegg and Cheryl Holt

Reader's Entertainment TV has lead the way into a new trend to bring readers more dynamic material online. But, there's more!

In 2006 COS worked with author Christine Feehan to start offering online games associated with books. The FOG (Feehan Online Game) attracted over 10,000 people who played the video game all the way through and received a screensaver as a prize!

The future of online marketing both with video and with other opportunities continues to be a main focus for COS Productions. Leading an industry into a new era of opportunity using video and online endeavors, new ideas and creative media is a staple for COS, and having industry giants follow that lead is a sure sign of success.
