April Guests: Jennifer Crusie and Bob Mayer!
Well, good morning, Literary Chicks readers! We here at the L.C. are beyond excited to announce our guests for April: Jennifer Crusie and Bob Mayer!
Jennifer and Bob met almost two years ago in Maui. Answering the fateful question, "What do you write?" (the literary version of "What's your major?") Jenny said, “Well, basically, in my books, people have sex and get married.” To which Bob replied, “In my books, people have sex and die.” At that point, it was obvious they needed to collaborate. (For more on how Jenny and Bob met and collaborated, click here.)
Remember those commercials for Reese's Peanut Butter cups? "You got your chocolate in my peanut butter"? It's kinda like that, only this time the genius pairing is romance and adventure to create the enticing new genre of Romantic Adventure. What's even more amazing? They haven't killed each other yet. Some people have their money on Bob in the Conservatory with a Fork. I, however, maintain my bet - Jenny'll get him in the Library with an iMac. Either way, as long as they're both living, readers get the fruits of their labors - romantic adventures, the first of which, Don't Look Down, is in stores April 4th!
And Literary Chicks readers get even more... because we're giving away FOUR SIGNED COPIES of Don't Look Down right here!
Between now and April 21st, all you have to do is send an e-mail with your name and mailing address to giveaway@literarychicks.com with the subject line "I Want My Romantic Adventure!" and we'll put you in the running to receive free copies of Don't Look Down! So go ahead and fire up that e-mail and be sure to check us out every Saturday for a new post from Jenny and Bob!
And, uh, light a candle that they don't kill each other, because life with Reese's? Absolutely no fun!
