Robin's Scenic Route

Introducing the debut fantasy novel by Robin McElveen - Ripples (Children of Y'Dahnndrya book 1) released in October of 2018 Here's the original caption I shared with it: My first book comes out next month! It's exciting and scary all at once. :) The first book in my Children of Y'Dahnndrya series is about a shy girl who has to overcome her fears in order to follow the life path she's chosen. Along the way, she makes some unexpected friends and bravely faces some tough trials. Will she succeed? You'll have to read to find out! This is my first book trailer. I worked really hard on it, but I know I can improve. I'd appreciate any helpful suggestions or encouragement. I had a sudden fit of serious anxiety yesterday, wondering if I should really post it. But I had enough good feedback to gain my courage again. I used several apps to create the slides and film: Animotica for Windows - film construction & editing https://www.animotica.com/ Portra for Android - photo editing https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.playlist.portra Photo Lab Image Editor Face Effects & Filters for Windows - photo editing (Check in the Microsoft Store.) Gimp - photo editing/slide creation https://www.gimp.org/ PixArt for Windows (and Android) - photo collage https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.picsart.studio The pictures used in the film were gathered from Pexels.com and Pixabay.com, as well as a few photos of my own. and YouTube Royalty Free Music - score. I hope you enjoy the result!

Welcome to my channel! I'm Melody Kittles and I write fantasy novels under the pen name Robin McElveen. In this video, I let you see a little of what I enjoy and who I am. I'm also happy to showcase a few photos taken by my photographer husband. (His usual photography gigs are thunderstorms and anything else he finds interesting in the sky. He shares all about his storm chasing here on YouTube as JD Kittles.) This channel is strictly for documenting my writing journey and things I discover along the way. I hope you'll see some things which interest, entertain, or help you.
