My Time With Author Talk
As you may know, authors Jill Monroe and Gena Showalter are making a series of videos called Author Talk. They are funny and silly, and otherwise great promotion. This week is my turn. If you want to see my Author Talk video for RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW, here it is:
Check out the other Author Talk videos here. They’re great.
And a few comments about mine…
-Jill and Gena both look better with towels wrapped around their heads than I do just looking regular. I consider that a great cosmic unfairness.
-I know it sounds as if I have a lisp. No idea why. I don’t have a lisp…at least I don’t think I do. It’s very strange. At least now I have something new to obsess about.
-Yes, I know I look terrible. I’d blame Jill…but I fear it’s just how I looked that day. Rest assured I’ve thrown that red sweater away…and am going to the gym again. Yeah, being on tape will do that to a person. Can’t explain the hair of the weird sunlight pattern either. Basically, I look better than this in person. Trust me.
-Jill possess an infinite well of patience, or she pretends to. We started talking about doing this video about 300 years ago. Okay, more like three months, but you get the idea. Between deadlines, every other excuse I could find and a fear I would not show up on film - unfortunately I now know I do - I delayed production. Jill stayed calm. Buy her books help me make this up to her. They are great and I need to work my way back into her good graces.
Huge thanks to Jill for doing this and to Gena for joining in.

This is freakin’ brilliant! I wish I had a book coming out so I could get the same treatment.

I loved this video HelenKay! I watched it over at DearAuthor and then had to send a link to the folks in my local chapter. (And I had to come by to tell you just how great I thought it was.) If I hadn’t already read Right Here, Right Now, well, I’d definitely be hustling over to the bookstore to pick it up!

Oh yay! Commenting is back online! HelenKay - that was a great video, and very clever! I can’t wait for Hard as Nails to come out!!

Oh yay! Commenting is back online!
Yeah, sorry, had to update the blog to get the akismet to work again.
I’m not sure if all the plugins are working perfectly as yet, but HK will let me know if I need to tweak something.

Too damny funny. I love every one of these and you did a great job!

OMG, HelenKay! That was so cute and funny! I laughed out loud so many times. Great job!

Too funny HelenKay! It made me laugh out loud. BTW, I didn’t notice a lisp when I watched the video. All three of you did a great job!

This is so cute, HelenKay. But I seriously doubt Jill comes out of the shower in full makeup. Seems to me there’s some cheating going on there. Bad, bad Jill.

Full makeup? Actually, I only did one side of my face. Look at my eyes - one is MAJORLY messed up looking compared to the other.

I was wondering just what the hell the finished product would look like. I’m glad you can’t hear me ghost asking the questions or the cats playing with their toys.

I didn’t hear a lisp either. But did you not see the green face mask I was wearing?
Or the hair spiking from the top of my head?

That was fabulous, HelenKay! I laughed out loud too. Author Talk is brilliant and I so enjoy watching them. You did a great job!

That was awesome! I love those Author Talk segments.
BTW, I didn’t hear a lisp either, and you looked great. I’m jealous over your office. Gena’s too.

I saw that on Alison Kent’s blog. It’s great! You all did a fantastic job. Love Author Talk!

That was terrific! Great job done by all of you!
April 26th, 2008 at 3:31 pm
I thought you looked cute, HelenKay. You have a knack for comedy.
April 27th, 2008 at 3:31 am
You all looked great and it was a fun video to watch.

Absolutely Hilarious!
