Trailer for Sale or Rent

So, the "Hiking the Gulf Coast" manuscript has been put to bed. What a great adventure it was! I had beautiful weather for all of the hikes up until the last week when I headed to Texas to do the trails there then it was a game of leap frog hopping from one park or refuge to another dodging rainstorms.

Overall, though, I think the manuscript turned out great. It's now in the hands of FalconGuides where it will get the once over, I'll get another whack at correcting everything then out to book stores in the fall just in time for the 2015 Christmas season.

In the meantime I'm busy ramping up the publicity for the fourth edition of "Hiking Alabama" and my short story collection, "Living in a Banana Dream". I'm putting my past media career to work as I create two new book trailers for each. They will premier on YouTube shortly and I'll be posting an announcement when they hit the small screen here, on the website www.joe-cuhaj.com, and on my Facebook page.

It has been a quite a wresting match getting used to the new software to produce the trailers in but that is to be expected. I'm using "PowerDirector 12" by CyberLink. It's actually great software with plenty of features but as with everything there is that learning curve. But, the trailers are coming out great.
