Funky Friday's Veil of Pearls Trailer

Okay, well, I wasn't going to post this until I have Veil of Pearls month next month, but I just can't stand it! This is the best trailer I've ever seen. (At least for my books!)  My publisher, Barbour, hired a new company and they did a great job!  I can't tell you what it feels like as an author to see your characters come to life on the screen.. even if it is just a glimpse! But to see them move and smile and act and have your story just blossom before your eyes. If they ever made a movie out of one of my books, I don't think I could stand the excitement or the emotion. They'd probably have to put me in a straight jacket with a gag in my mouth just to contain so I wouldn't drive everyone crazy!!

Anyway, now that I've totally hyped it up, I hope you aren't let down. Although I don't see how you could be:
I would love to hear your thoughts, comments, opinions, even if you didn't like it.. K?




Awesome, huh? Anyway, have a great weekend! I'm thinking of going to see The Avengers, or maybe that new Pirate movie? It looks cute.

  1. You're right; this is one of the best book trailers I've ever seen! I really wanted to read the book before, but now I am even more excited! I like that the actors in this trailer actually are playing the characters and moving, and the wording and the music are dramatic. I can't wait!

  2. Fri May 11th,
    "Morning, MaryLu."
    WOW, WOW, and WOW again !!! Applaud, applaud, applaud !!! You are SO right ... this is the best trailer to date !!! Loved the music ... suspenseful ! Loved all of the captions ! Loved the characters ... (and, that I did NOT know them by their real-life names) ... just made it all that much more mysterious !!! The "pearls" play a major part in the story ... and I found myself totally engrossed, intrigued, captivated ... wanting to learn and know more ! Amd, I loved the fact that "no voices/or narration" was spoken audibly!!! Completely held my interest from start to finish ... and left me excited and most eager to be reading this new novel !!!
    A+++ , MaryLu !!! Barbour found a winner in this new company, and of course ... they already "have" a winner in you !!!
    Way to go MaryLu ! Can 100% understand your excitement and wanting to share this trailer with us "now" ! Beautifully and expertly done !!! Loved everything about it !!!
    Thanks for sharing.
    Take care, and, God Bless,
    In Him, Brenda Hurley

  6. Fantastic trailer MaryLu! This company nailed it...intense, suspenseful, and interest piquing. The actors made you want to know the character's stories and the music projected a yearning and internal turmoil. I anxiously await to be swept away!

  7. Yes, I thought you all would love it as much as me!!! Thanks for all the enthusiastic comments!! I must admit that I cried when I first saw it. Yes, I'm that emotional. But it was just so beautifully done and the music was fabulous and the characters looked like I envisioned.. well it was like having my book come to life on screen as I said. Did you know the male actor in the trailer is the guy who made the trailer? Yes, it's his company. Cool, huh?

    Thanks so much for sharing my joy, Ladies! It means a lot to me.

  15. Wow. I can say little to match the beauty, elegance, of this video. Absolutely stunning. I have preordered this book and now I cannot wait for it to arrive (though I felt that way before, just because it is yours).

    Most emotionally stirring? Whew...that's high praise from some of my favorite authors. They did a fantabulous job. Thank you so much for sharing early, Mrs. Tyndall!

  16. Wow, what an AWESOME trailer!! That is seriously one of the best I've seen, right up there with what Zondervan did for Melanie Dickerson's books. And MaryLu, I am loving this novel concept. Can't wait to read it!!

  17. Wonderful!!!! They did an awesome job with it. Of course, they had your story to work with so it had to be a winner!

  21. Ahhh so exciting! They did do a great job, that was awesome! I can not wait to read Veil of Pearls! I have always wished at least one of your books would come to life on screen. One day, keep praying!
    Thanks for sharing.

  22. WOW! MaryLu, I LOVE this trailer!! Gosh, probably the best book trailer I've seen yet! From the actors to the music, just beautiful!

    Can't wait to read Veil of Pearls!! Hope you had a great Mother's Day :-)

  23. Wow! That literally gave me chills! I could hardly wait to read it before seeing the trailer now I will be counting the days. The "Most emotionally stirring" comment caught my eye as well. All your books are emotionally stirring so if this one is the most, I should definitely start preparing myself now.
    Again, this was absolutely beautiful and you have every right to watch it over and over again.

  24. I absolutely love your website, your blog, your books, and this trailer. I have long been a fan of your blog posts and this trailer proved just perfect. It piqued amazing intrigue after I watched it. I would love to be the first person to read Veil of Pearls. I'm sure that won't happen, but rest assured I will try:)
