    Lori Foster book on Ellen Degeneres

    Jayne gave me permission to butt in early on her blog time, to let you all know something kind of fun. Okay, SUPER fun!

    Thanks Jayne!

    I was tickled pink, kind of embarrassed, and laughing hysterically when on March 31st, while shooting in Orlando Florida, Ellen Degeneres went to a pool, found an empty seat, picked up a book on a table - and it was MY book, FALLEN ANGELS.

    She said, “Oh, this a good one!” and I almost fell off my seat.
    The guy sitting next to her said it was his wife's book.
    So what does Ellen do? She reads aloud to him from the book, of course the start of a love scene.
    I screamed.
    My hubby and son were telling me, "Shhhh!" because I made so much shocked noise over it, they couldn't hear.

    If you want to see the bit, she has it on her website.
    It was the "Video of the Day," but today it moved to the archives. http://ellen.warnerbros.com/EllenMediaPlayer/
    then “Ellen’s Bits,”
    and then “Not Really Swan Lake.”

    It's a pretty short video, but first she's fooling around with some folks in a pool, then handing out towels, and then goes poolside and picks up Fallen Angels.

    Hilarious!
    Hugs to all - and big cheers to Ellen!

    BTW, you can email Ellen to thank her for mentioning a romance book, and to encourage her to feature romance books more often! She has an email link on the site, in the upper right hand corner. We could sure use Ellen as a supporter!

    Lori,

    GOOD for you and KUDOS to Ellen DeGeneres! Whatta wonderful quirk of fate. I think it's pretty awesome that such a popular and great author such as yourself can be so excited and celebrity-struck, too.

    I sent an e-mail to Ms. DeGeneres,too.

    LOL. Oh Deb, the level of celebrity between Ellen D and me is like... immeasurable!
    I'm only known within the romance industry.
    EVERYONE knows Ellen! Plus I just think she's the coolest. Out of all the talk show hosts, she always seem the most real to me. No depressing forums, no outrageous feuds, just good fun!

    Hugs,

    Lori

    Every once in a while the universe pauses and something good happens to a good person. Also, this was pretty funny! Where was his wife anyway? Are we sure this wasn't his book?
    Congrats, Lori, it truly was a deserved moment.
    I met you once at a book convention in Atlanta, GA, and you were just about the sweetest person on the planet.

    Ah, Lynne, thank you so much! I always feel like I'm in a fog at conventions, so I end up unsure if I was as nice as I want to be. LOL. (Did that make sense?)
    I'm glad to know I made a nice impression!
    Hugs,

    Lori

    Way to go, Lori.

    Nothing is quite like having your book in national media.
