Make Me Hot - January 2006

Dear Readers:

I am very proud of Make Me Hot as it revolves around a woman, Morgan Bayley, who has always had issues with her distinctive looks, mainly, an unusually large nose. I wanted to know what it would be like for a woman, who'd suffered most of her life because of her looks, to decide to undergo an extreme makeover. And then what? What would happen to her life as she knew it? Would the nip-tuck indeed be the quick fix she'd hoped for, or would her new looks bring about a new set of problems?

In celebration of this hot new release, I've scheduled a Make Me Hot Makeover Contest in Atlanta, GA:

Saturday, January 14, 2006
1:00 - 3:00 p.m.
B's Books and More
2926 - A Evans Mill Road
Lithonia, GA 30038
770.484.6222

At this makeover event, we will award a lucky winner a Make Me Hot makeover package which includes a 1-year gym membership, gift certificates from New York & Co., a gift pack from MAC cosmetics, hair services from Fantastic Sams, a massage certificate from Spa Sydell, and more.

I'd like to invite readers to nominate someone who they feel would indeed deserve a makeover. If this individual was involved in the recent hurricanes, we'd like to assist those newly relocated Atlanta residents as well, however, the nominees do not need to be hurricane survivors. Simply someone who could use a boost.

If you know of worthy individuals you'd like to nominate, simply send me an email no later than January 7, 2006. I'll need you to write and email a nomination letter to divapublishing@aol.com, telling me why this individual deserves a Make Me Hot Makeover, and please use no more than 300 words. Be sure to include your telephone # and best email address.

If the individual you nominate wins, I will award you (if an individual) or your book club, a gift pack of ten recent (10) Kensington/Dafina titles. The person who nominated the individual, and the nominee, must be present to win. The audience will choose the winner via applause based upon the most touching story/most needy situation.

I thank you for your support and for your love of reading.

Hope to see you on Saturday, January 14th!


Blessings and Happy New Year,

Marissa Monteilh
