UnnaturalStates

Just received a lovely wee review about my paranormal e-book and multimedia thriller, Unnatural States.

It’s from Groovy Writer who’s posting on a mobileread forum.

Wow, impressive. Great job, Nicola. Interesting premise, too. You put a lot of work into the multimedia site. Bet it kept you busy through the long BC winter!

Thanks, Groovy Writer!

Coffee Time Romance Drinks Up UnnaturalStates

A reviewer at Coffee Time Romance recently gave our Quillr a three cup (good read) review. Calling our multimedia platform an interesting idea, she also said that the music is wonderfully done, and really builds on the suspense and emotion of the characters and that the plot is very well done with the many twists and turns it takes to hold the reader captive to the story.

It’s great that she enjoyed the story and considers our experiment in multimedia publishing to be interesting, but the best news is that she loved and commented on the music. It’s about time! Our composer, Glynne Turner, created some amazing original songs, including Sinners Who Weep and Unnatural State. The songs, plus her carefully crafted music and sound effect atmospheres, add hugely to the overall UnnaturalStates.com experience.

CSI Creator On Multimedia Storytelling Bandwagon

Nicola — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 14:41:14 +0000

We’re not alone in thinking “books” can be more, much more, in this digital age.

Our QUILLR® concept merges text, video, music, photos and sound effects, letting the reader experience the story.

Now Anthony Zuiker, the creator of the CSI TV franchise, is getting in on the multimedia storytelling action by combining book, movie and website in a “digi-novel” format, described here
Digi-movie concept.

As Zuiker says, The future of business in terms of entertainment will have to be the convergence of different mediums. So we did that – publishing, movies and a website.

I’m looking forward to following his brave new effort.

In the meantime, why not give our own multimedia event a shot?
