My turn to plug my friends book
« on: August 23, 2005, 07:07:45 PM »
Hi all,  my friend Maureen has her third novel coming out.  It is called 13 Little Blue Envelopes.  I have to say, and not because she is a good friend, that it is a great book! (Especially because she thanks me for some odd reason in it and one of the characters is named after Rich ;D )  Anyway, it truly is great and a fun read!  Here is a short description:

Inside little blue envelope 1 are $1,000 and instructions to buy a plane ticket.

In envelope 2 are directions to a specific London flat.

The note in envelope 3 tells Ginny: Find a starving artist.

Because of envelope 4, Ginny and her artist, a playwright/thief/bloke-about-town called Keith, go to Scotland together, with somewhat disastrous -- though utterly romantic -- results. Ginny isn't sure she'll see Keith again, and definitely doesn't know what to think about him.

Could the answer be in the envelopes?

Ginny doesn't know it, but adventures in Rome and Paris are in envelopes 6 and 8. The rules are that she has to open one at a time, in order, so perhaps it isn't surprising that she discovers things about her life and love one by one. Everything about Ginny will change this summer, and it's all because of the 13 Little Blue Envelopes.

It's for young adults but my mother and I both loved it as well!

OK, go on pre-order it ;D

ohh...very interesting.
But never fear, gentlemen; castration was really not the point of feminism, and we women are too busy eviscerating one another to take you on.

Hi I'm Alicia's Hubby.

I make some software called Read-e ( www.read-e.com ). I'm about to send some marketing to all the schools, FE colleges, and Universities in the UK.

It is designed to help kids improve their literacy skills, and as part of its design, includes a section ware kids can read or have read to them (by the computer) a number of stories. If you think there could be some synergy (as they say in the world of business) then let me know (email philATread-eDOTcom ). I can email you a link to the "schools"site (not accessable via the public website).

I'm the boss, so if you have any ideas about how to work together, I've got the final say  ;)

Best,
Phil

Hi Phil, well, I think that is more for the publishers of her book who are HarperCollins, not for Maureen herself.
