Gods Behaving Badly – Out in Paperback
She hasn’t asked me to, but seeing as every PR who sends me a press release these days seems to get a look in, I thought mentioning it was the least I can do, since she’s certainly done more round here to improve the place than they have: Marie‘s book, Gods Behaving Badly is now out in paperback.
If you haven’t bought it already, now’s your chance to own a copy. And if you already have a hardback copy, why not order a paperback copy for everyday use or to beat in-flight baggage-weight limits?
For laughs, you could order one now and see if it arrives before her author’s copy…
Regular commenter? Best selling author (number 1 in Canada!)? Got a book out? Then let me know so I can spread the word.

‘Fat Pig’ cook-off
Unusual PR move this one: Fat Pig stars Ella Smith and (yes, it is she) Joanna Page are appearing on Monday next‘s Ready, Steady, Cook for a cook-off.
Not sure it’s how I’d promote a potentially caustic Neil LaBute comedy about size-discrimination, but I’ll be setting the PVR anyway. I do like that Ainsley’s cous-cous.
