Hanging out on the Village Green

Hey Long Islanders! If you're out on Long Island, well, first of all, you probably get that song reference I made in the title line. But more importantly, I'll be reading at the Gazebo again this summer! (Yes, on the Village Green in Oceanside!)

I'll be reading as part of the Summer Gazebo Reading Series again this Monday, July 26th at 7pm. Joining me will be the always fabulous Ellen Meister and Saralee Rosenberg, so it should be a great night. I hope to see you there!

Get patched in!

So, if you missed me over at the Syosset Library, don't fret! The wonderful Mary Ellen Walsh wrote a fabulous piece about my visit for the Syosset Patch. Check it out here.

And then I hope you'll join me in July, when I'll be reading as part of the Summer Gazebo Reading Series again. I'll be out on the Green on Monday, July 26th, and I hope to be having a better hair day than I was at the Syosset Library (though it's doubtful).

Tonight's the night!

If you are on Long Island, I'd love it if you came to hear me speak tonight!! I'll be at the Syosset Public Library at 7pm. Hope to see you there!

Come to Long Island!

Come see me speak at the Syosset Public Library next Wednesday, June 16th at 7pm! You get to see me, hear me read from one of my novels, AND support public libraries, to boot! What could be better?!

I hope to see you there!

I just can't resist a bargain....

JACK WITH A TWIST is on sale over at Amazon.com! Now's the time to pick up that copy you never bought or buy some copies for your friends and family! Needless to say, a book makes a great birthday gift/ belated Valentine's Day gift/ early Mother's Day gift/ hostess gift/ I think you get the idea....

If you buy your copy at Amazon, just shoot me the email confirmation (email me at brenda[at]brendajanowitz[dot]com) and I'll send over a JACK WITH A TWIST bookmark for each book that you buy!

Did I mention that it makes a great gift?!

Chick Lit.... Plus!

There's a new website out on the chick lit landscape and it's got a little something extra. Thus, it's name: Chick Lit Plus!

Check out my new interview with Chick Lit Plus! We talk about books, writing, and even Hawaii! What could be better than that?!

Fire burning on the dance floor.....

Too bad Brooke and Jack already got married in JACK WITH A TWIST. Vanessa would totally tear this one up....

Enter to win a copy of JACK!

Hop on over to Drey's Library today. I'll be doing an interview and then giving away a copy of JACK WITH A TWIST to one lucky winner!

Meet me in New Jersey!

Okay, so yes, I admit, it doesn't have quite the same ring as asking you to meet me in St. Louis, but I'm thrilled nonetheless to announce that I'll be appearing at the Books NJ 2009 book festival. It's a fabulous new event being hosted in New Jersey that celebrates writers and writing.

The deets are as follows:

Books NJ 2009

Sunday, June 14th
1pm - 5pm

Paramus Public Library
116 East Century Road
Paramus, NJ 07652

I'll be speaking on a fiction panel at 3:30pm, so I hope you'll be able to come by and say hi!

I'm big in Malaysia!

So, yes, I knew it was bound to happen one of these days, and now, it has: I'm finally an international superstar.

Yes, from now on, I will start carrying a tiny dog in my pocketbook and travel around with an entourage at all times. I shall only drink Cristal and I will bathe in La Mer cream, just like J. Lo. I will go to the supermarket in diamonds-- wait, no, that's not right-- I'll hire people to go to the supermarket for me, and I'll create a list of ridiculous demands, like bowls of green M&Ms only. Hell, I'll get a bowl of M&Ms with my face on them! I will no longer be known as Brenda Janowitz. No, from here on out I will be B. Jano. (Again, um, just like J. Lo. Gosh, I really need to get some other international superstar role models....)

And all this is because I am finally an international superstar. Well, okay, maybe not an international superstar, but an internationally published author, to be sure!

JACK WITH A TWIST is being translated into Malay! Here's a pic of the beautiful new cover and my fabulous new name!


So, forget those people who ask whether or not it plays in Peoria-- my stuff plays in Kuala Lumpur, people! Now I clearly must start dressing like Catherine Zeta Jones when she was in that heist movie with Sean Connery (they were in Kuala Lumpur, right?)

Next time you're in Malaysia, pick up a copy of JACK! Or, MAHKAMAH CINTA, as it's known over there. And tell them that you're a part of B. Jano's entourage. Or, um, B. Janot, as the case may be. Okay, they probably won't know who I am, so just tell them that I'm the girl with the silly little dog in her handbag. No, the other one. No, not that one, the other one.

You know what, if you get to Malaysia, just tell J. Lo that I said hi.

They're giving it away like candy....

.... over on Mindy Klasky's blog!

The lovely Mindy Klasky is hosting me today for an interview and book giveaway. We'll be giving away a copy of JACK WITH A TWIST, so head on over and enter to win!

Free book Friday!

Yes, I know it's Monday, but I just had to write to let you know that my book is being featured on Free Book Friday!   It's a book giveaway site created by the wonderful author Jessica Brody.  Jessica and her peeps give lucky readers the chance to win free books every Friday!  How awesome is that?!

We'll be giving away five (yes, you read that correctly, FIVE!) signed copies of JACK WITH A TWIST!  And guess when the winner will be announced?  Um, yeah, well, Friday.  Which really makes sense, being free book Friday and all.  I hope you'll hop over to this fabulous website and enter to win!

Join me for tea!

If you're around this weekend in the New York area, I do hope you'll join me on Sunday for tea! It's a great event that I'm doing for the Transition Network: I'll be on a panel with fellow authors Ellen Meister, Saralee Rosenberg and Carol Hoenig, moderated by Book Columnist Debbi Honorof.

But most importantly, there will be pastries. So you really can't go wrong.
