As promised last week, here is the brand-new official book trailer for my novel, Double-Edged Sword. This is the fourth book in the Renegade Series and tells the story of David Summers. After he serves in the Confederate cavalry during the Civil War, he returns to his home state of Alabama but isn’t prepared for what he will find there. He realizes that he doesn’t belong in the south anymore, nor in the north. His loyalties are split and he is confronted with an enemy who wants nothing more than to destroy him.
Once again, here’s a special thanks to my son, Jesse Hawkins, for creating this book trailer for me. I hope you enjoy it. Please let me know what you think! And as always, thanks so much for your continued support!
Last weekend, I went to Seattle to visit my son, Jesse, and of course, put him to work. He is the man behind all of my book trailers and teasers. (My other son, Jeremy, who I also had the pleasure to visit, is my editor/beta reader. I like to get the whole family involved when I can.) It took Jesse a while, but he finally finished the last two trailers. I’m happy to present the official book trailer for A Rebel Among Us, which is the third book in the Renegade Series (and also, coincidentally, dedicated to Jesse). This series tells the story of a family from north Alabama and how the Civil War impacts them. Please let me know what you think of the new trailer! I’ll share the book trailer for Double-Edged Sword next week. As always, thank you so much for your continuing support! And thank you too, Jess!
And third, I have a new cinematic book trailer for A Beautiful Glittering Lie, the first book in the Renegade Series. Let me know what you think! And thanks again for all your ongoing support!
I have recently been receiving numerous offers from people who would like to create cinematic book trailers for me. I think it’s a lot of fun to see what they come up with. Although my son, Jesse, is my primary creator, some of these folks might be giving him a run for his money! Here is a book trailer I just received for Horses in Gray, my nonfiction book about Confederate warhorses in the Civil War. Thank you so much, Elizabeth Kate, for your creative input!
I also received another five-star review for the book. Here is that review, posted on Goodreads. Thank you, Bolally, for your five-star review!
Horses in Gray is a well-researched and engaging history book that shines a light on the important role of horses during the Civil War. J.D.R. Hawkins brings famous Confederate warhorses to life through detailed stories, historical facts, and fascinating background information.
The book does an excellent job exploring the bond between soldiers and their horses, while also explaining the hardships these animals faced during wartime. Readers will especially enjoy learning about famous horses connected to figures like Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson.
Easy to read and full of interesting details, this book is perfect for Civil War enthusiasts and animal lovers alike.
My novel, A Beckoning Hellfire, has a brand-new book trailer! This trailer represents the second book in the Renegade Series, which tells the story of several families during the Civil War and how their lives intertwine. Once again, here’s a special shout out to my super talented son, Jesse, for constructing this trailer! Please drop me a line and let me know what you think of it! Thanks again for your continued support!
I’m very excited to announce that my nonfiction book, Horses in Gray: Famous Confederate Warhorses, now has its own book trailer! I am so fortunate to have such talented family members who are willing to help me with the design, editing, and promotion of my books! Here is another trailer that my son, Jesse, created for me. He also did the book trailers for A Beautiful Glittering Lie:
Please check it out and let me know what you think! Thanks again, Jess, for all your help!
Horses in Gray tells the story of several famous as well as not so famous horses that served under the Confederacy during the Civil War. These include, Traveller, Little Sorrel, Black Bess, Virginia, and King Philip, to name a few. Never before has there been such a comprehensive look at Confederate military horses in the Civil War and their lives before, during, and after battle.
