Journey into the Ancient Redwood Forests of Northern California in A Big Green Country Video Excerpt With Author, Frances Rivetti

Pleased to release a book trailer featuring yours truly reading from Chapter 22 (Maggie) of Big Green Country — my newly released novel.

Thanks to trailer director/producer Rocco Rivetti for making this happen at the tail end of his busy Christmas visit home to Sonoma County from LA. We spent a lovely morning together in magical Armstrong Woods. Part of the action of Big Green Country takes place along the Russian River en-route through the Redwood Curtain of Northern California's Emerald Triangle.

Dominic Rivetti recorded my sampling from a chapter that fit the video recording location perfectly and just as he was leaving home to head back to UC Davis. It's a family production!

This is me wandering the redwood forest in all its mid-winter glory and perusing the landscape of which I've been writing. Enjoy!

If you haven't yet ordered a copy, head down to your favorite local bookstore and ask them to order you one, or hit the online bookstores, Barnes & Noble, Amazon . . . reviews are coming in online and I'm ever so grateful for all who've taken the time to race through reading Big Green Country and to post reviews on Amazon, AmazonUK and Goodreads. Readers are reaching out from Australia, Spain as well as my native UK.

Please do share this excerpt with your friends on social media.

Best,

Frances
