Oh, wow! I know, I know, I’m not supposed to tell anyone until we get closer to the day the issue will be on the stands, but I just can’t keep it in any longer.
Debut Magazine is doing a whole issue about my book! They’re timing the release to coincide with the launch of (Secret) Society Girl, on June 27, 2006, and even setting a special price for the issue. You can see the cover at right.
This is such a dream come true. I mean DEBUT MAGAZINE! I grew up reading it every month. And of course, the legend, far-seeing editor-in-chief Hepzibah Hottentot and her ability to really sniff out the big stories. When Ms. Hottentot first called me, I thought it was a friend playing a practical joke.
The magazine actually flew me to the exotic Island of Caprice (which, as everyone knows, is in the South Pacific) in order to do the photo shoot for my profile. I’ve always wanted to go to Caprice, and what better way to escape this muggy Washington August? I’m blogging here, from the private suite they arranged for me. My room overlooks the most darling little swaying palm trees and acres of lilies and birds-of-paradise.
The other day, I got to have lunch with Ms. Hottentot at her bungalow, and two of celebrity friends, who I needn’t even name here, so well is Ms. Hottentot’s entourage known. Well, I must say that he was every bit the gentleman. Even offered to rub suntan lotion into my shoulders for me. Wasn’t that sweet? And, he’s even cuter in real life than he ever was on screen. After lunch she and I had a pedicure together. You’ll be able to see some of the snapshots in Debut when it comes out. I really don’t believe those rumors about her, do you? She certainly didn’t seem like it to me.
Besides my celebrity-studded profile, Debut Magazine will also feature an excerpt of my book, as well as a whole series of exclusive, “Behind the Book” features. It’s going to be the best issue ever! I’m so excited!

I was hooked until Hepzibah Hottentot, and even that I read twice.
I should send in my edits so I can have a cover, because that looks like fun. I can just imagine the little headlines.

The only reason I didn’t buy this was because you would have called me first if it were true…or you would have paid a hefty price.
Hilarious stuff. I so can’t wait to read this book.
