The Writer's Life

Guest Star: Saralee Rosenberg

noreply@blogger.com (Jessica Brody) — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 16:46:00 +0000

Today my guest is Saralee Rosenberg, the author of DEAR NEIGHBOR, DROP DEAD, a comic novel about two warring neighbors who put the Desperate Housewives of Wysteria Lane to shame!

Here's a brief summary of the novel and my interview with Saralee!

Nora Ephron Hates Her Neck. Big Deal! Mindy Sherman hates her whole body.

In Mindy's yoga-obsessed, thirty-is-the-new-wife neighborhood, every day is a battle between Dunkin' Donuts, her jaws-of-life jeans, and Beth Diamond, the self-absorbed sancti-mommy next door who looks sixteen from the back. So much for sharing the chores, the stores, and the occasional mischief to rival Wisteria Lane.

It's another day, another dilemma until Beth's marriage becomes fodder on Facebook. Suddenly the Ivy League blonde needs to be "friended," and Mindy is the last mom standing. Together they take on hormones and hunger, family feuds and fidelity, and a harrowing journey that spills the truth about an unplanned pregnancy and a seventy-year old miracle that altered their fates forever.

Dear Neighbor, Drop Dead is a hilarious, stirring romp over fences and defenses that begs the question, what did you do to deserve living next door to a crazy woman? Sometimes it's worth finding out.

Interview with Saralee Rosenberg

Q. What comes first? The title or the idea?

A. For DEAR NEIGHBOR, DROP DEAD, the title came to me only a few months before publication and trust me, by then I was in a total panic. The original title, based on the very earliest draft, was ALL IN THE CARDS, but everyone agreed that was kind of boring. Then I submitted a list of twenty titles, some interesting, some wacky, some that would never fly because they involved curse words. Here is a sampling: Hot, Hungry and Hormonal; Ask Your Doctor if Stress Is Right for You; Same SH-T, Different Zip; If Lucy Hated Ethel; and one of my personal favorites, The Bitch Next Door. No, no, no, my editor said to all of those. Then I came up with Dear Neighbor, Drop Dead and she smiled. We have a winner!!! And I must admit, it’s a beauty. Everyone gets it. No need for an explanation. As for my novel, CLAIRE VOYANT, that title came to me years ago and it took me a while to create an entire story based on the premise that a girl named Claire would have super natural abilities.

Q. Do you put friends in books? Have any of them recognized themselves?

A. I get asked all the time by family and friends to be in one of my novels, but I tend not to go there unless they’re willing to buy several dozen books in appreciation for being immortalized (if Girl Scout Moms can bribe, so can I). Once I did give in and named a character after a friend, only to describe the character as a philandering shoplifter. She was horrified and wanted to know how I knew? I didn’t know, I made it up, but boy did that make things interesting afterwards... Also, my husband’s business partner had been prodding me for years, to which I would say that a character who sold insurance, played golf and visited his grandkids in Florida would not exactly be memorable. But finally, in Dear Neighbor, to get him to stop bugging me, I did name a minor character Steven Hoffman. I made him a lawyer in Portland, and it really made Steve’s day... then he asked why he wasn’t a major character and could I feature him again in the next book? Men!!!!

Q. When deadlines hit, what happens in your house?

A. Let me put it this way. Please don’t ring my bell unless you’re bringing fresh baked cookies because I don’t want you to see that the dining room looks like a mini landfill. And that’s before you reach the piles on the stairs (I swear there is one that has been there since Clinton was President). The clothes in the dryer go round and round for days because I keep hitting wrinkle remove, we run out of milk, the shows saved on Tivo go unwatched, calls from my kids get answered with, “Make it quick and NO CRISIS’s today”. Also I look like hell and probably need of a touch up. As for dinner? The family is on their own... although they would tell you I say that every day. Basically it’s every man/child for himself and don’t give me a hard time about anything... This is why I write all the time, otherwise I’d lose my privileges, lol.

Q. Which scene or scenes in the book did you love writing?

A. I am crazy about writing dialogue and would spend days working on a scene between Mindy and Beth to make sure that I got the tone, the phrasing, the timing and the subtle nuances just right. There was so much that they wanted to say to each other after eight years of making each other crazy, I just had to let it out a little at a time, like air coming out of a balloon. But the scene I loved writing the most was the one where they are in a hotel room and Beth confronts the fact that she might be pregnant. It is a funny, poignant moment where both characters reveal their greatest joys and misgivings of motherhood and I remember when I sat at my computer, the words just poured out and I had to sit still to hear every last word coming through. I realized at the end that they had just broadcast my own conflicts and vulnerabilities about being a mom and it was whoa... where did that come from?

Q. What was the inspiration for Dear Neighbor, Drop Dead?

A. Of my four novels, DEAR NEIGHBOR, DROP DEAD is the only one that was inspired by, well, me! This story is based on my first novel, ALL IN THE CARDS, which was never published, but did take a very exciting journey to Hollywood. Back in 1997, Bette Midler optioned it for a feature film (she was looking for a follow up comedy to “First Wives Club”). Exactly! Wow! First time out and it’s a homerun. Sadly, the reason you never heard of it is because ultimately, Bette and her partner couldn’t get financing or find the right screenwriter to adapt it. Bye bye Bette... Now fast forward to a few years ago. My novels, A LITTLE HELP FROM ABOVE, CLAIRE VOYANT and FATE & MS. FORTUNE had done very well but were about single women looking for love in all the wrong places. I wanted to write about my “peeps” in the suburbs and pitched my editor on letting me rewrite ALL IN THE CARDS. She was hesitant because she wasn’t sure Avon was the right publisher for a suburban/soccer mom story with bickering neighbors. Then came “Desperate Housewives” and suddenly it was, get me suburban/soccer mom stories with bickering neighbors. Timing is everything.... So although DEAR NEIGHBOR is an incarnation of my earliest novel, it is a much richer, deeper, funnier story and is resonating with readers of all ages.

The Fidelity Files moves up to #25 in WhSmith UK

noreply@blogger.com (Jessica Brody) — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 01:28:00 +0000

Last week the WhSmith Travel shops in the UK had THE FIDELITY FILES displayed as the number 52 bestselling paperback...and this week it's up to 25! And according to this picture, copies are selling out fast! (I swear, I didn't remove the rest of the copies before the picture was taken.)

Very exciting!

I knew I loved the Brits for more than just their accents and yummy tea sandwiches!

New 30-Second Trailer for WhSmith

noreply@blogger.com (Jessica Brody) — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 20:55:00 +0000

Exciting news! WhSmith travel stores in the UK want to show the book trailer for THE FIDELITY FILES on the tv screens in all their stores! That means, any of you on the other side of the pond could be passing through Victoria station, picking up a newspaper and a Dairy Milk chocolate bar and see my trailer playing! How cool is that?

There was one stipulation, though. I had to cut a 1:30 minute trailer down to just 30 seconds. And any of you that have gotten through all 400 pages of my novel, know how hard it is for me to cut. So that's what I did ALL day yesterday and here's the final result. Of course, it'll look all that much cooler when you're seeing it while waiting for your flight at Gatwick airport!

Guest Star: Kelly Parra!

noreply@blogger.com (Jessica Brody) — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 16:44:00 +0000

Hey everyone! I'm so excited to be part of a fantastic new community of authors called the Girlfriends Cyber Circuit where we host members on our blogs to help them promote their books!

So my very first hosted member is the fabulous, Ms. Kelly Parra who writes edgy YA novels. Her first book, Graffiti Girl has done extremely well and her latest release, Invisible Touch just hit bookstores this fall from MTV Books! I was fortunate enough to be able to ask Kelly some questions about herself and her writing process. And here they are!

1. How do you come up with the names for your characters?

Good question. I'm actually a pretty visual writer. I like to picture the characters in my mind, and then find the perfect fit with a name. Sometimes if I can't come up with something unique I'll scan the Internet or even the phone book to make the right match.

2. What's your favorite part about the publishing process? Your least favorite part?

Besides writing the book as my favorite part, I LOVE reading the galleys for the first time and seeing how the book's layout will potentially look in published form. My least favorite part is promotion, it takes a lot of hard work and lots of savvy to pull off good promo. :)

3. If your book were to be made into a movie, who could you see playing the lead role?

Kara would be possibly be Vanessa Hudgens.
Anthony would be a younger Milo Ventimiglia.

4. Since becoming a writer, what's the most glamorous thing you've ever done?

It might not seem very glamourous to some writers, but to a simple gal like me it was attending the Romance Writers of America RITA ceremony. The dresses were glam, the show fab. It was an experience to remember.

5. If you could be a superhero, what would you superpower be?

It would be transport anywhere by just a thought. That would be so cool. New York, no problem. Hawaii, just one second. :)

The Cheating Gene

noreply@blogger.com (Jessica Brody) — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 05:48:00 +0000

So it looks like "Ashlyn," the fidelity inspector in my novel, may have just been made obsolete by a scenitific breakthrough. Apparently, there's a study showing that monogamy can actually be linked to a man's genes, and not jeans as we all once thought.

According to an article I just read at on ABC.com, men who have more copies of a section of a gene called RS3 334, are more likely to cheat and have committment issues. Men who have no copies of the gene section are far more likely to be in long, faithful, committed relationships than men who have one, two or more copies.

I knew it! I've always said some men are just proned to cheat, like it's in their DNA or something. Turns out...it just might be!

Do you realize what this means? Pretty soon a standardized gene test will be mandatory on all first dates. "I'm sorry, Bob, you seem like a very nice guy, but frankly I'm concerned by your three copies of RS3-334. I just think I deserve better." Maybe they'll come out with nifty purse-size testing devices that you can carry around with you and use to scan a piece of his hair or fingernail. Or better yet, maybe it'll be a required field in all MySpace profiles.

Name: Bob Smith
Age: 32
Occupation: Sales man
Relationship Status: Single and looking
RS3-334 Copies: 4

But then, of course you realize what the next step is after this is? Rebellious teen girls are going to start bringing home guys with multiple copies of RS3-334 just to piss off their parents.

Win a Free Signed Copy of THE FIDELITY FILES!

noreply@blogger.com (Jessica Brody) — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 01:54:00 +0000

Well, I just turned in my manuscript for the sequel to THE FIDELITY FILES, which will be out in Summer of 2009 and I'm so excited to be done with it, I decided to celebrate by giving away free copies of my first book!

Christie Brinkley Should Have Hired a Fidelity Inspector

noreply@blogger.com (Jessica Brody) — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 16:06:00 +0000

Okay, now that the book tour is officially over, it's time to get back to talking about serious stuff. Infidelity. And we all know there's PLENTY to talk about in this arena. I mean, the celebrities alone give me enough ammo to blog about the subject for a lifetime! Take Christie Brinkley and Peter Cook, the biggest celebrity cheating scandal in the news right now. And although I was just as fascinated as the rest of the world to be immersed in the trials and tribulations of someone else's divorce proceedings, I couldn't help but wonder, as I watched it all unfold, if the whole thing could have been avoided. If only Christie Brinkley had thought to hire a Fidelity Inspector, she would have known ages ago if Peter was the cheating type and this whole public scandal would cease to exist. If only my book had come out years ago when all of this went down, maybe should would have picked it up in the store, felt inspired and found a real-life fidelity inspector (they do exist!) to test her husband for cheating tendencies. But then of course, we would have lost such great entertainment value...

I'm Thankful for Coloradians and Canadians

noreply@blogger.com (Jessica Brody) — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 05:22:00 +0000

The scream that erupted from my office this morning at the break of dawn when I awoke to check to see if my book had made the Denver Post bestseller list after a hugely successful signing event at the Tattered Cover last week most likely woke up the whole neighborhood. Because not only had the book made it into one of the top five coveted spots that the newspaper reserves for Colorado's bestselling paperback fiction books, it was number 2!!!

http://www.denverpost.com/books/ci_9711639

Needless to say, I have been floating the entire day.

And just as I was about to go to sleep and say goodnight to the most exciting day thus far in my debut book campaign, I discovered that the Canadians also seem to be taking a liking to the book! Amazon.ca has ranked it in the top 100 U.S. fiction books. You know, I always liked those Canadians. Not only for their universal health care and the adorable way they pronounce the words "about" and "out," but now, it has been brought to my attention that they also have impeccable taste in books!

Thanks Colorado and Canada for making what would have been an ordinary Sunday, absolutely extra-ordinary!

L.A. Release Party is a success!

noreply@blogger.com (Jessica Brody) — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 02:55:00 +0000

So I know I'm supposed to be blogging about infidelity and cheating and all that, but I couldn't resist taking a short break from such heavy topics and sharing a few fun photos from The Fidelity Files release party last night. It was a huge success! Thanks to everyone who came out!

Me before my very first book signing for my very first book! Do I look calm and relaxed? It's an illusion. I was totally freaking out!

Talking about the book to a room full of people. Very scary! See that beautiful head of brown hair in front of the camera? That's the famous author Alyson Noel, who came to my reading! Unfortunately I was too busy trying to talk to everyone that I failed to get any pictures of her face. Oh well. Next time.

Signing my very first book! What a thrill!

These were the DELICIOUS cupcakes with the scarlet letter logo from the book on them. Click here to find out more about the logo. Thanks to Bella Donna Special Events for such a beautiful display!

The beautiful book display at the after party.

Hanging at the after party with some of my favorite people. From left to right: Charlie, my wonderful boyfriend, Katherine Carlson, my brilliant writer friend, and writer/director Brad T Gottfred whose movie I helped produce last year.

Window Displays are My New Favorite Thing

noreply@blogger.com (Jessica Brody) — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 17:18:00 +0000

Well, the book has finally hit the stores...a few days early, but after a year and a half of waiting, what's a few days right? And how pleased I was to find this lovely display in the window at my local Barnes and Noble where I'll be doing my book signing on June 10th. Okay, "pleased" is probably not the most accurate term. More like jumping up and down ecstatically and making all kinds of strange, animal-like whooping sounds that I had no idea I even had the ability to make. Right there on the streets of the Third Street Promenade. Not surprisingly, I was quickly mistaken for a street performer and tossed a quarter by a passerby.

Behind Every Faithful Man is a Very Smart Woman

noreply@blogger.com (Jessica Brody) — Sat, 24 May 2008 22:28:00 +0000

Take a look at my 5 tips on how to keep your man happy and interested. As seen in the May 2008 issue of L.A. Direct Magazine.

Let’s just face it: some men cheat. Open up any national newspaper these days and you’ll see the evidence. Now that’s not to say the women in these relationships are the ones to blame. Some men just aren’t born with the monogamous gene. But it does inspire some interesting questions about whether or not infidelity can be avoided. In researching my novel, The Fidelity Files, I found that faithful relationships tend to have one thing in common: a woman who knows how to handle her man. And there’s a lot to be learned from these women’s secrets so I’ve compiled a list of my favorite tips on how to keep your man’s attention fully focused on you.

1) Don’t Reveal the Woman Behind the Curtain

For those of us who aren’t 22 anymore, it actually takes time and some effort to make ourselves look beautiful. But men don’t necessarily need to know that. Laura, 53, has been married to the same loyal and devoted husband for 30 years. And she says the secret to a happy marriage is separate bathrooms. “When we go out at night, I want him to look at me and think, ‘Wow, she’s so effortlessly striking.’ That’s why I never let him see me getting ready. It’s like going backstage at Disneyland. The magic is ruined.” One of the reasons dating is so much fun for men is because a beautiful woman simply appears before him and he doesn’t see the process behind it. Keeping this same illusion alive in your relationship can help restore some of the mystery that naturally fades away with time.

2) “Come Here Often?”

The honeymoon phase is called a “phase” for a reason. Eventually the novelty wears off and gives way to one of the biggest relationship threats of all: routine. When this happens, it’s important to make an extra effort to keep things interesting. Michael, a retired restaurant owner, says his wife sometimes likes to pretend to be strangers in public. “She’ll be sitting at the bar, looking amazing, and I get to try to pick her up. When she agrees to come home with me, I end up looking like the biggest stud in the room. It’s a major ego boost.” Most men enjoy the thrill of a flirtatious encounter. A role play such as this one is a safe and fun way to bring this thrill back into a long-term relationship.

3) Support His Crazy Dreams

He wants to start a rock band but he hasn’t picked up an instrument since his high school clarinet. It may sound impossible, but it’s still his dream. The key is to be there for him whether it succeeds or not. Corey, 31, is an online content producer with a dream of becoming a documentary filmmaker. One of the things that has kept him so devoted to his wife of seven years is the unconditional support she offers him. “I work weird hours and am always juggling several jobs at once. There are some projects I’ve worked on for over a year without making a penny and she’s still my number one cheerleader. I can’t imagine finding another woman like that.”

4) No Strings Attached

By giving your man the space and freedom to be his own person and do his own thing without expecting anything in return, his respect for you as a companion increases exponentially. “My wife lets me host a bi-monthly poker game at our house and she has never once complained or used it as a bargaining chip,” says Corey, 31. “She’s so cool about things like that. It makes me really proud to tell people she’s my wife.”

5) Don’t Skip out on the Sex

Men like sex. This information is nothing new. But sometimes it’s worth reminding that there is a strong correlation between a healthy marriage and a healthy sex life. “Not everyone is blessed with a supercharged libido,” says Laura, 53. “That’s why, as a woman, it is your own responsibility to figure out what turns you on so you can continue to have a sex life.” Katie, age 30, has two young children, a full-time job, and still manages to find time to experiment in the bedroom. “I try to surprise my husband with things he wouldn’t expect. It keeps him on his toes because he’s constantly wondering what I have in store for him next.” And a man who is busy wondering about you, doesn’t have time to wonder about anyone else.

Now Hiring: British Fidelity Inspectors

noreply@blogger.com (Jessica Brody) — Sat, 17 May 2008 00:05:00 +0000

Think you have what it takes to be "Ashlyn" from The Fidelity Files? Wanna flirt with married men for a living and catch cheaters in the act? Well, apparently if you live England, someone is looking for you.

BBC News recently released an article about a Yorkshire-based Honey Trap agency that is trying to recruit "flirtatious men and women to test the fidelity of clients' partners." Which only proves yet again that the Brits are WAY ahead of us in the world of Fidelity Inspections. But not for long. The Fidelity Files is being released in 22 days and it's going to change everything!

Anyway, enough plugging, here's the article:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/3078394.stm

Good luck. Go forth and honey trap!
