You are in for a real treat today. The upbeat, entertainingKaren_quinn_2, acclaimed novelist Karen Quinn, author of the entertaining Wife in the Fast Lane and The Ivy Chronicles, will be my guest on today’s Stop SUGAR SHOCK! Radio Show at 4 pm EST.

Karen and I will have a lot of fun, and you’ll even get some good take-away tips to help you juggle your busy life.

Of course, I’m sure many of you busy women and men just won’t be able to listen at our 4 p.m. EST time slot. No problem. As usual, you’ll be able to catch our interview later so you can listen to it at your convenience.

You may be wondering how I landed Karen for my radio show. After all, she’s a sought-after novelist, who has appeared on The View, 20/20, The Richard and Juy Show, CBS 2 News, etc. and has been written up in dozens of publications.

Well, Karen and I met a number of months back, thanks to cyberspace. I got wind of a wildly creative awards online contest that she was running to drum up interest in her new book Wife in the Fast Lane.

Karen was inviting hectic, time-strapped wives to submit one-liners to convey what living in the fast lane was all about.
I was so impressed by her creative campaign that I said hi online, and we’ve been in touch ever since.

I’m kind of embarrassed to admit that although we’ve been planning for months to meet in the flesh since we’re both in the New York area, we’ll it hasn’t happened yet. Guess the reason has to do with the topic of her novel! We’re both fast-lane
movers! LOL!)

By the way, most women in America today will be able to identify with the themes in Karen’s book, Wife in the Fast Lane. (In fact, I can relate to the heroine’s plight even though I’m not a wife yet.)

You see, Karen’s humorous novel is a satire about a highly accomplished woman as
she juggles love/marriage, parenting, work and the various responsibilities of
modern life.

Here’s a sneak peek at some of the topics we’ll chat about today on the Stop SUGAR SHOCK! Radio Show. Karen will tell us:

During our interview on the Stop SUGAR SHOCK! Radio Show, Karen also will reveal:

  • How her first book, The Ivy Chronicles, has been optioned by Warner Brothers, with Catherine Zeta Jones slated to star in it. She’ll even tell us what the script is like.
  • Whether or not she subscribes to Nectar’s Rule of Two. (Huh? Hope that intrigues you!)
  • Whether or not her first novel, The Ivy Chronicles, is a
    thinly disguised tell-all. (Karen’s book is about a woman who loses her
    big corporate job, her husband and her ritzy Manhattan pad and then is
    then reinvents herself as a school admissions advisor, who helps rich
    Manhattanites get into private school.)
  • What message Karen would like readers to take away from Wife in the Fast Lane.
