Now, I don’t know about you, but last Tuesday, when I posted the Tell Me A Secret book trailer, I kinda fell in love. From the various animation styles blended together to the great voice over and dramatic soundtrack, it’s definitely a winner. Now if I wasn’t already itching to buy this new YA novel, I certainly am now because starting today, Holly Cupala is serializing the novel on her site www.tellmeasecret.com!
Putting out the money for a new book, sight unseen, is a bit of an investment, so this weekly serial podcast will do a couple of things. First, it’ll let you check out the first two or three chapters today, and every week another two or three chapters will become available until you just can’t handle waiting any longer. At that point, you can run out, pick up the novel and read to your heart’s content.
Plus, if you’re familiar with the the movies The Adoration of Jenna Fox and The Chosen One, then you’ll probably be familiar with the actress who is lending her vocal talent for the audio podcast. You see, the entire novel is read by the award-winning actress Jenna Lamia, which is the second piece of news about this new podcast. Finally, these chapters are only available for a limited time in the format that I’ve mentioned, so unless you intend on checking out the special edition full version, then you have to act now.
Once you’ve listened to the first today’s podcast, then prepare yourself for a fun Twitter party today (Wednesday, August 18, 2010) at 6pm PST/9pm EST. Holly Cupala will be chatting it up with you and the rest of the readergirlz. Look out for the #rgz hashtag to join in on the fun!
