Sneak Preview

by Libby Hellmann

Hi, all. My new thriller, DOUBLEBACK won’t be out until October, but so many of you helped me with the cover a couple of months ago I wanted to show you the final version Bleak House came up with. Btw, I have to give a shout-out to Alan Orloff who suggested we flip a “b” or two. We did, and we love it.



And here’s a peek at the 45 second video trailer for DOUBLEBACK. Many thanks to Renaissance man Brian Gilomen for his editing expertise. Ellie would approve.



What do you think?

I think it's great, Libby. Just how I like them. Succinct phrases to outline the plot. Snappy change of scenes. The music is really cool. At first I thought it lacked a sense of urgency, but it became haunting as the clip went on. A very intriguing trailer. My compliments. Who did this for you?

Thanks, Dave. I came up with the "script" (I used to be a video producer...) and shot half of the footage. My firend Brian shot the rest of the video and edited it on his computer.

Love the trailer, especially the empty swing in motion. And David's right, the music is very haunting.

Can't wait for the book to come out.

(The cover looks great--thanks for the shout-out. If my novel writing career falls thru, maybe I can go into cover design :) )
