I was tickled pink, a little embarrassed, and laughing hysterically when on March 31st, while shooting in Orlando Florida, Ellen Degeneres went to a pool, found an empty seat, picked up a novel on a table – and it was MY book, FALLEN ANGELS.

Ellen looked at the cover and said, “Oh, this is a good one!” Then she read aloud to a man sitting next to her – the book belonged to his wife. Of course the part she read was the start of a love scene.
My husband and son were telling me, “Shhhh!” because I was laughing so hard, they couldn’t hear Ellen.

If you want to see a video clip of it, she has it on her website.
It was the “Video of the Day,” but today it moved to the archives.

then “Ellen’s Bits,”
and then “Not Really Swan Lake.”

It’s a pretty short video, but first she’s fooling around with some folks in a pool, then handing out towels, and then she goes poolside and picks up Fallen Angels.

Hilarious!
Hope you enjoy it.
And CHEERS to Ellen!

And because I feel so blessed, I always want to try to help others. Giving is an addictive thing, but luckily, I’m in a wonderful position to make it easier.
A good friend and I organize an annual “Reader & Author Get Together” every June, in West Chester, Ohio. Authors in various stages of their careers gather with happy readers and industry professionals to share our love of the written word, to chat and eat and relax. It’s like a giant, loosely organized tea party. During the event, we raffle off donated baskets, and donate the proceeds to various organizations.
(Registration is open to everyone, cost is only $35 for the entire weekend -which covers most meals- and you can find more information here: http://lorifoster.com/community/readergettogthr.htm )

This year, to go along with our special event, we’ll have a very special book release. The Power Of Love is a romance anthology published by Berkley.

Authors include:

Lori Foster
Erin McCarthy
Toni Blake
Dianne Castell
Karen Kelley
Rosemary Laurey
Janice Maynard
LuAnn McLane
Lucy Monroe
Patricia Sargeant
Kay Stockham
J.C. Wilder

Best of all? The authors and their agents are donating ALL of their proceeds to the Cincinnati Battered Women’s Shelter.
Every book sold will add to the amount given. It’ll be the gift that keeps on giving.
I’m really excited about it, and I hope readers will be too.
There’s more, and a link to buy, on my website at www.lorifoster.com

Thank you!
