I think this is a great idea and look forward to seeing some women authors up here!
Aren't there any out there in the news today? I tend to keep an eye out for books and videos by the female species.
THANKS!

Debbie,
Hmmm, interesting.
I hadn't considered a gender distribution -- I took my favorite books that are recently published that I could find video for, and this is what I came up with. I didn't realize until you pointed it out that they were all male authors.
We're about to record the next episode of our podcast, and it does feature some female authors, as we have across previous blog posts and episodes. If we do another round of Pixelated videos, I'm sure that there will be women represented.
I'm glad you like the idea, and appreciate your comments. Thanks!

As I said at Chris's blog, I absolutely love this concept! Looking forward to these videos, too. Thanks, Ann!

I like this option (but I hope it doesn't replace any of your regular postings!). I'm not sure if I'll always watch them, but I found that they are good to listen to while doing other small tasks, like filing, that you can't do while reading a blog or an interview. Thanks for making filing less painful!

Don't worry Dreamybee... these videos will always be a way to give you MORE content, not replace any!

I just finished Girl w/Dragon Tatt on vacation and can't help but wonder if there would have been a sequel. It definitely stays with you...
I'll be linking up the interview on your blog later this week

Mel,
Yes, there is a sequel! It should be out in summer 09, I think. Stieg Larsson wrote 3 books before he died, but submitted them all at once. So there are actually 2 more books to look forward to. I have the manuscript of the 2nd book,but haven't gotten a chance to read it yet. I'll report back when I do.
Thanks!!
Ann

This is such a cool idea! Thanks for taking the time to put this together. Lots of good videos that I never would have dug up on my own.

As a bookseller, the printed promotional material that publishers send out can be a bit overwhelming to sift through and of course, they are usually at work when there's just no time to look at it all. Buyers have more of an advantage because they see the reps, but the seller on the floor often doesn't have that chance. We wind up constantly paging the poor buyer about books customers are looking for because they don't remember the title/author and only recall the content. Podcasts and videos "to go" make it easier to catch up and accessible to all.
I'll be sure to pass the word on to my co-workers about this blog/idea. As trav said, thanks for taking the time to put this together. You've made my job a little easier!
