In the grand scheme of things, I don’t know how effective a book trailer is as far as sales, but it’s fun seeing a visual representation of your literary creation. This was a little side project my brother did for me while he’s working on his latest film. He doesn’t have a website, but he is on Facebook (Frank Cappello). His latest film credit is the independently-produced and directed The Womb, a psychological thriller that won a Best Picture award at an independent film festival in LA last year. He also wrote and directed The Quiet Man with Christian Slater, among other film credits, as well as wrote the original screenplay for Constantine.
The Sacrifice series centers around half-demon Laec Matthews, who is pulled into a world he knows nothing about by a quest to rescue a young girl from Heaven. Yes, that’s rescue FROM Heaven. In the first book he discovers a mysterious personal connection to Heaven that will influence everything in his life. He also makes powerful enemies willing to cross realms to kill him. In the subsequent four books currently written (the series will top out at seven books), Laec and his growing circle of friends and family must battle supernatural foes determined to conquer our realm.
The series is dark, gritty, and often violent, with an occasional dose of witty banter. Despite his foul-mouthed, rough-around-the-edges persona, Laec is an affable character you can’t help but root for, especially when he’s being beaten down by his enemies. He was originally inspired by two characters I love: Cal Leandros of Rob Thurman’s Cal Leandros urban fantasy book series and Sam and Dean Winchester of the TV series Supernatural. So if you like either of them, you would probably enjoy this series. Hopefully this trailer will pique your curiosity.
