Carly Phillips Return of the Hot Zone
I have a soft spot in my heart for my HOT ZONE books. For one thing, I LOVE reading about athletes and had always wanted to write about them. For another, these books have touches of reality and my own life in them. Uncle Yank, a secondary character, is loosely based on my grandfather. My grandmother has Macular Degeneration (like Uncle Yank). And I come from a family who loves sports. I also think I found a unique way to write about athletes – by focusing on three sisters raised by their bachelor-sports agent- uncle – and who become publicists in his firm. The Hot Zone is about people who love sports but who also love FAMILY.The other interesting thing for me is that these books are being reprinted for the first time. For 2010 we have the first two stories in the series:
HOT STUFF – January release – in store 1 2/29/09
HOT NUMBER – February release – in store 02/23/10
The series has HOT new covers, so if you missed them the first time or if you just like to collect new series editions, this release is for you!
And for more info. and an excerpt on HOT STUFF visit my HOT STUFF page. Now for today’s question – don’t feel bad, just answer honestly! I’m curious: Do you buy reissues of past releases?
option 1 : Yes – I must get the new cover/version!
option 2: No – I already own the book.
option 3: It depends on the author.
What’s your take and why?
And if you’d like to take the poll on this visit my FACEBOOK FAN PAGE and become a fan while you’re there! (lower left side – Poll).
I’ll be traveling today, heading to Florida for a family vacation, so I may not be able to check in until tomorrow!!! Hope you are all ready for the holidays and that you have a happy, healthy rest of the season!
