So far it has one upvote and one downvote. (I was the upvote, so quality might not be that high? I tried, but...) The downvote is almost certainly my hate stalker. He attacks anything I do on Youtube. (It's an actual thing. One guy that goes after anything I do at all. Regardless of topic. I'd hoped that not doing anything for a year would be enough to throw him off, but... Meh, at least this time he didn't blow up the comment section.)
So, go in with low expectations?
Still, I am trying to do new things!

All I can say is my own opinion having watched the trailer: it would not have made the least bit curious, let alone enough so to make me want to check out the first few chapters for free.
For that matter, I initially found your work accidentally. (Some other author had written a story where a young girl goes back in time -- accidentally -- and checking for a sequel, one of your books was listed as "You might also like....") "Friendzoned," was my first. After that, the Keeley Thompson books. Then -- it never stopped.
You keep cranking them out; I keep reading them.
Best,
G.

Okay: What would have made you curious and want to check out the first chapters?

So, a brighter tone?
I have to be careful not to give away too many story elements, but I was wondering if people would like to know more about that, but... It's difficult. If I do too much, it will create problems.

Well I’ve been grabbing books off Facebook, authors post a photo of the book with a couple compelling paragraphs, enough to get me interested and it works. I know you aren’t a fan of Facebook but it might help?

I could try that. Maybe some music in the background? Not for Facebook or Twitter. But instead of what I did?
I'll try that next time I do one.
Thanks!
