Author Read-Aloud with Alexis Marie Chute reading Chapter 1 of her novel Above the Star, book one in The 8th Island Trilogy

My First Virtual Author Read-Aloud! Yay!

I don’t know about you, but I feel a little cooped up!! I need to keep myself busy, otherwise I’m sure I’ll go bananas in the house. Therefore, my first author READ-ALOUD was born!

An author read-aloud is where an author takes a video of themselves reading from a book they wrote. A read-aloud in general is a video of someone reading a book aloud, but it’s way more fun when you’re hearing from the person who actually wrote the book!

I have to admit, this was a little nerve wracking to do, but it was a blast – and I even learned more video editing skills in producing this, so win-win!

And to make it win-win-win, I hope you love watching it!

About the Book:

When frumpy senior citizen Archie goes in search of his missing son in the Spanish Canary Islands, he stumbles upon a higher mission: locating a magical cure for his ailing fourteen-year-old granddaughter, Ella.Using a portal-jumping device called the Tillastrion, Archie and a stone-headed creature named Zeno are transported to Jarr-Wya, a magnificent yet terrifying island in a connected realm—along with Ella and her strong-willed mother, Tessa, who accidentally stow away on this not-so-secret quest.

What they find on Jarr-Wya is an island tortured by a wicked Star anchored in the sea, and a raging three-way battle for dominionbetween the stone-wielding Bangols, the fiery Olearons, and the evil Millia sands. Ella’s wit and resourcefulness emerge in this new world, while Tessa is forced to confront her long-buried secrets and a confusing new love triangle. When Ella is captured, Tessa and Archie—with the help of a company of peculiar allies—set out to save her and unravel the terrible mystery of her cure.
