http://www.dianewilkinsproductions.com -- my friend, master of the video. Her polish and shine on my book trailer took it from Woo to Woo-Hoo! She is one talented woman, folks. Check out her website. She collects awards right and left, and with good reason.
http://www.biggreenpen.com -- copyeditor Paula Kiger. I'm telling you the truth...if she was a ghost-buster, there wouldn't be one single spirit left on the planet. She has an eagle-eye for typos.

A special shout-out thank-you to friend Lynn Seiler and Bailey for their help in the making of the Evenings on Dark Island book trailer.

Bailey was the perfect stand-in for Diente, the spoiled-rich, vampire Chihuahua in the parody.

I purposely left the red-eye effect in place--perfect for Bailey's alter ego. He's really sweet in person!
