Talkin' Vampires: Eschewing appearances on mainstream outlets, Stephenie Meyer is opting for a grassroots approach to promote the upcoming film adaptation of Eclipse. The mega-bestselling author literally picked the names of four Twilight fan sites out of a hat and invited them to a "fan-centric mini-junket."
"I feel like all of the basic questions have been answered, and for Eclipse I want to focus on the more specific questions of the readers. To accomplish that, I'm hosting my own mini-junket with a few fansites. It will be held on Friday, June 18th, the week before the L.A. premiere."
E-Politics: Diplomat-turned-author Mitchell Reiss has announced that his upcoming book, Negotiating With Evil, will be published as an original e-book through Open Road Integrated Media, a year-old digital publishing house.
"This is the way of the future," says Reiss, 52, who served as director of policy planning at the U.S. Department of State from 2003-2005 and was special envoy to Northern Ireland from 2003-2007. "I think working with Open Road brings two immediate advantages -- the book gets out very quickly and it's a great way to reach a global audience."
Moving and Shaking: Honey, I Wrecked the Kids, a parenting guide by expert Alyson Schafer, occupies the top spot of our Movers and Shakers list this morning.
