A PERFECT BEACH READ

CAFE MOM is a wonderful Social Network for mom's. It is FREE to join and it is a great place to find women that feel the same aarrgghh you do sometimes, when you are raising one or a houseful of kids.

ONE OF THE CAFE MOM'S AUTHORS HAS RELEASED A NEW BOOK: READ ABOUT IT BELOW:

"A perfect beach read!"THE SMART ONE" by Ellen Meister

It took two years and countless rewrites, but my new book, THE SMART ONE (HarperCollins/Avon A), is finally hitting the shelves!! Don't think I could have done it without the support of my CafeMom friends ...

THE SMART ONE is about three adult sisters grappling with each other and the labels of childhood. Then they discover a dead body in an industrial drum under the house next door and begin a bold, heartbreaking and sometimes hilarious journey that will either bring them together ... or tear them apart for good. You can read more about it here.

If you're planning on buying THE SMART ONE, I hope you'll do so soon!!!! The first weeks can make or break a book (and a writer's career), so I'm trying to get the word out fast. And yes, pre-orders on Amazon count.

Also, as I've said before, the first edition could wind up being a collector's item as there are TWO huge mistakes on the back cover. I want all my friends to have this boo-boo edition! Lol.

If you can spot one of the mistakes, you can win a very cool stuffed beach bag. .

To win, just find one of the two errors on the back cover of the book and send me a message about it by August 14. (If you can't find an error, just tell me who the book is dedicated to.) Everyone who responds will be entered into a drawing for THE SMART ONE beach bag, which has a photo of the book on the outside, and contains a tank top and oversized towel, both imprinted with the title of the book so everyone knows you're the smart one! It also has two great paperback beach reads signed by the authors.

To buy THE SMART ONE …

It comes out this Tuesday, so please call your local bookstore today and make sure they have it on order. Or, go straight to AMAZON or BARNES And NOBLE and pre-order now.

Thanks so much!

P.S. FYI, THE SMART ONE is the first and only CafeMom-centric novel! This place means so much to me that not only is CafeMom thanked in the acknowledgments, but there's an interview in the back of the book between me and my CafeMom friends.
