My Author Friend & I Are Going Zany During Book Expo America This Week

For this important week in publishing — during which Book Expo America takes place — my fun author friend Dr. Diana Kirschner and I are going out on a limb to drum up interest in our books. Here’s a press release that’s now going out to the media today.
Authors Develop Zany, Outrageous Marketing Gimmicks to Nab Publishers & Fans in these Challenging Economic Times
NEW YORK—As thousands of authors vie for publishers’ and readers’ thumbs up in this uncertain economic climate, some innovative, pro-active authors are taking matters into their own hands by coming up with over-the-top, outrageous, humorous marketing gimmicks.
“It’s time to become an out-of-the-box-thinking author-preneur, who creates gutsy, captivating messages that nab the attention and tickle the funny bones of readers and publishers,” claims author Connie Bennett, who is laughingly walking around Book Expo America on Friday and Saturday sporting a provocative, 24”-by-30” sandwich board that says, “Are You ‘The One’?”
The amiable author’s “Are You `The One’?” message—which looks like a single’s ad—pokes fun of the fact that Bennett is both a single woman and an available author with a Big Platform, who’s seeking “a committed relationship” with a “compatible publisher” to release her second book.
“I wanted to playfully show that I have the guts, initiative and ingenuity to be a successful author no matter what the economic climate,” adds Bennett, an experienced journalist, certified health counselor, self-described “Ex-Sugar Shrew!” and author of SUGAR SHOCK! (Berkley Books) (www.SugarShock.com).

You Keep Asking, “What Do You Eat?” — My Food Diary for You

Whenever I give a talk or take on a new client, inevitably the same questions pop up over and over again.
People want to know: “Connie, what can I eat?” or “What do you eat?”
In fact, one reviewer even took me to task for not including meal plans and recipes in my first book SUGAR SHOCK!
(FYI, meal plans were originally in my book, but my editor took out the meal plans, because adding them made the book way too long. But, rest assured, meal plans and recipes will be included in my next book, The White-Out Diet.)
Anyhow, to answer this Frequently Asked Question from you health seekers out there, I’m going to share with you for a while exactly what foods and drinks go into my mouth.
My goal here is to help you learn that eating a sugar-free way is fun, exciting and tasty.
