Happy April Fool’s Day everyone! I hope no one plays any nasty tricks on you. LOL.
I have something fun to share with you today – and I promise it’s NOT an April Fool’s joke!On ELLEN DEGENERES yesterday, March 31st, she was cruising around the Universal pool and sat in a woman's vacated chair. On the table beside that chair was my book, FALLEN ANGELS. Ellen sat in the chair, picked up the book, said, “Oh, this is a good one,” and read a few lines aloud! Of course, it was a sex scene, and I turned bright red seeing it. J Still, pretty darned cool!
If you want to see it, it’s listed on her website at www.ellen.warnerbros.com Right now it’s the “Video of the Day,” but I imagine that’ll change before her new show today. Then it’ll likely be put with her other videos. But you can still find it there in the listing. It’s titled “Swan Lake.” First she does some silly stuff with folks in a pool, then with towels, and then she reads from my book.
Ellen has an email listed. It’s a short form just for leaving a comment. I hope some of you will take a moment to email her and let her know how much we appreciate her giving the romance community a nod.
Who knows? Maybe she’ll get into supporting romance novels even more! It can’t hurt to let her know that we watched and liked it, right?Just go to: http://ellen.warnerbros.com
Then in the upper right hand corner of the page, you’ll see “Podcast, Newsletter, Email-Ellen, etc...”
Just click on “Email Ellen!”Thanks everyone.
Please let me know if you drop her email. :)
NEW COVER
The new cover for CAUGHT, a reissue of “Taken,” and “Say Yes,” will be on my website shortly. As I just received it myself, give my designer a few days to get it listed. CAUGHT will be available in October.
Speaking of new covers... If you check out my homepage, you’ll see some newly added reissues to my line-up. Included in that is THE WATSON BROTHERS, a compilation of novellas taken from Bad Boys on Board, Bad Boys to Go, and Bad Boys in Black Tie. Featured are Sam, Gil and Pete – now under one cover! That book will be available in September.READER AND AUTHOR GET TOGETHER
