We have finished the video trailer for my first novel Scared<\/a>. People have asked how to help get the word out, so here are a few suggestions:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1. Watch the trailer and tell me what you think. You can watch a larger version here on Vimeo<\/a>.<\/div>\n
2. Link the Scaredthebook.com<\/a> website. We are hosting a writing contest in Africa and giving away an all expenses paid education through University as 1st prize. You will be able to vote for the winner. All the details are on the site. You can also download two chapters on the site.<\/div>\n
3. Embed the trailer on your sight for others to watch. Here's the code:<\/div>\n

If you prefer YouTube (the quality isn't quite as good) here's the link:<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
4.Pre-order the book at your local bookstore. This is very important for initial sales and publicity.<\/div>\n
5. Start a book club around Scared<\/a>. I'm happy to answer questions and participate by phone. <\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
Thank you, thank you for your help. Word of mouth is the best form of advertising and all of you have been so great about being publicists. I really believe this book will be a great tool to help others understand about the most desperate needs in our world and will motivate them to get involved. <\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

A tireless advocate for fatherless children, Davis has spent most of his adult life calling U.S. believers to become the hands and feet of Jesus Christ to the 143 million orphans living around the world. Through those connections, thousands of orphans now have the bright and hopeful future--one that is filled with opportunities and the love of the one true Father. Davis speaks hundreds of times each year at churches and conferences, mobilizing the church to action on behalf of the poor. He is the author of four books. His most recent novel, SCARED is a fictionalized account of his first-hand experiencing living and working with orphans in Swaziland, Africa. Davis' blog is the premier resource for the latest developments in Christian orphan ministry. Davis also currently teaches courses as adjunct professor at George Fox University in Newberg, OR. When not traveling the globe, Davis resides in the mountains of Colorado in the small community of Palmer Lake. He and his wife Emily have seven children, including two adopted daughters from Russia.","url":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/redletters\/author\/tdavis"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/redletters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/212","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/redletters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/redletters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/redletters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/87"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/redletters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=212"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/redletters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/212\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/redletters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=212"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/redletters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=212"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/redletters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=212"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
