News Flash! December 9, 2007

Deb news:
Deb Jenny’s novel, Sleeping with Ward Cleaver, got two excellent early reviews this week. Here and here. One reviewer called it the Bridget Jones’s Diary for married and harried moms.

Deb Lisa Daily will be jetting off to NYC this week to participate in a cover shoot for Woman’s World magazine. Why, you might ask? Has Woman’s World begun to feature new authors? Nope. Lisa participated in a Woman’s Day exercise plan and lost 5 pounds the week after Thanksgiving. (Which was good, because she GAINED 5 pounds the week BEFORE Thanksgiving.) Lisa will be blogging all about her experience on Wednesday, Dec. 12, here at the Debutante Ball.

Deb Eileen was thrilled to get this blurb for Unpredictable from one of her favorite writers “I adored this funny, quirky and witty tale of a woman on the edge and the lengths to which she’ll go to bring herself back. I predict great things for Eileen Cook and her delightful debut.” –Alison Pace, author of Through Thick and Thin

Deb Founders news:

Deb Founder Anna David has sold her novel, Kept, about a journalist who, in working on an investigative feature about kept women in Hollywood, experiences what it’s like to be “kept,” to Harper. Congratulations to Anna!

Friends of Deb news:

Thought you might enjoy watching these little YouTube videos Meg Cabot just released. They’re quite funny and a departure from your run-of-the-mill book trailer.
See here, and here, and here, and here.
