THE PERFECT COUPLE
comes out tomorrow!
I've got some good news, bad news, good news...

Good news: THE PERFECT COUPLE is getting rave reviews, including 4.5 stars from RT Book Review Magazine, who had this to say about the book:

You can read the first chapter or the rest of the reviews (the ones that have come in so far) here.
Bad news: There was a printer error and every single copy was created and shipped with a cover that, at first glance, doesn’t appear to have an author name or a complete title (everything done in turquoise foil doesn’t show up against the dark background). :-(
Good news: My publisher (MIRA) is standing behind these books. They’re replacing them all with covers that actually show my name and the title.
I know many of you plan on buying the book during July 28th – August 5th to take advantage of my special offer (if you turn in your receipt, you’ll be entered into my fan club and receive a stylish Brenda Novak mini-tote with autographed bookplate and 3D glasses/bookmark).
So I wanted to tell you that all of the books might not have been replaced in the first week. In case that holds true for the store near you, please look for the book with no author name and only part of a title. LOL
More good news: Because, in the end, these screw-ups will be rare, they should become a good collector item, so I hope you can find one!
Autographed Copies Available
Want an autographed copy of THE PERFECT COUPLE?
Contact my bookseller friend, Bradley, and he’ll take care of you. You can reach him at bookloversbooks@sbcglobal.net or go to www.bookloverscafe.com. Bradley will even keep a copy of your receipt for me so that you can join the fan club and receive the bonus without having to turn it in yourself.
