Book Trailer Fridays – Claire Cook & Seven Year Switch!

December 17, 2010 Filed Under: book trailer fridays, claire cook

I’m not sure if book trailers are something people outside of the writer/book blogger world are very aware of. Every time I mentioned the book trailer for STAY during the production process, people would ask what a book trailer is.

It’s simple! A book trailer is like a movie trailer, but for a book! Lots of authors produce them, and they’re a great way to get a feel for a new book.

For my very first Book Trailer Friday post, here’s the trailer to one of my favorite books this year: SEVEN YEAR SWITCH, by Claire Cook.

About the Book:

Just when Jill Murray’s finally figured out how to manage on her own, her ex-husband proves that he can’t even run away reliably. After seven long years missing in action, he’s back — crashing into the man-free existence Jill and her ten-year-old daughter have built so carefully. And what’s a good mother to do? To a child, even a deadbeat dad is better than no dad at all.

Jill’s life just hasn’t turned out quite the way she planned. By now, she’d hoped to be jetting around the world as a high-end cultural coach. Instead, she’s answering phones for a local travel agency and teaching cooking classes at the community center.

Enter free-spirited entrepreneur Billy, who hires Jill as a consultant for an upcoming business trip. Is their relationship veering off in a new direction? And what about her ex? Jill couldn’t possibly still have feelings for him . . . could she? Suddenly, her no-boys-allowed life is anything but.

They say that every seven years you become a completely new person, but Jill isn’t sure she’s ready for the big change. It takes a Costa Rican getaway to help her make a choice — not so much between the two men in her life, but between the woman she is and the one she wants to be.

Here’s what critics are saying about SEVEN YEAR SWITCH:

“Cook tells this involving story of forgiveness and acceptance with heart, charm, and characters you can’t help but root for.” —Booklist

“Bestseller Cook charms again with this lively warm-hearted look at changing courses mid-life.” —People

“A lot of fun to read? Definitely!”
-Redbook

And here’s a clip of Claire on the Today Show! She is such an inspiration!

I spend the majority of my time making up stories about people who don't really exist. I'm lucky that the people I love call this creative instead of crazy.

I still have a parking slip on the passenger seat I still have a parking slip on the passenger seat of my car from the last day that kind of sort of resembled normal. We knew things were about to change, but we didn’t know how much. Shelter-in-Place was announced four days later. Do you have any time markers you’re holding on to?

She sleeps through the night without tossing and turning and has a new spring in her step. I wish I’d thought to do it sooner. #dailystelladog #olddogsarethebestdogs #germanshepherd #ilovemydog
