I heard that the segment was brief with Nora Roberts, Sherrilyn Kenyon, and Beverly Jenkins. Sarah was used in a short segment. I am sort of disappointed but I loved the experience.

JaneJane is a long time romance reader whose passion is, you guessed it, reading. Jane also does not like to talk about herself in the third person, but apparently this is the way that this biography thing works (although in a true biography, someone else would be writing this blurb). Anyway, currently Jane loves urban fantasy authors Patricia Briggs and Ilona Andrews. She's really excited about this year's crop of historicals including Joanna Bourne's The Spymaster's Lady and Sherry Thomas' Private Arrangements and the upcoming Loretta Chase Her Scandalous Ways. She's looking for a good contemporary author. Email her with a recommendation! Email this author | All posts by Jane

    I think I spotted you in the background, just briefly, listening to Beverly Jenkins.

    One of the commenters at the SB’s posted a link to the segment, so I’ll add a link here too for anyone who hasn’t seen it yet.

    I don’t know how I missed it! I was glued to the set from 7 am to 9 am (when Regis came on) and never saw a segment.

    Thanks for the link. We saw you J but you know, that subtitle of SEX BETWEEN THE SHEETS was awful and cringe-worthy for a category of books that outsells any other genre.

    Jude - I think it ran a little after 9 am CST.

    Also saw it and cringed at the subtitle. Put the tv on it at work and stood there with 2 male co-workers while they showed mostly scenes from “Sex and the City.”

    The context was rather surprising. They were going with ’sex sells’ and although that may be true, it’s a trite statement about women’s fiction.

    Jane, I believe they had a brief segment with SB Sarah so they could use, ‘trashybooks.com’.

    What steams me particularily, the con is about books/reading and the SatC segments were totally inappropriate.
