Harlequin Mira author and ECWG member Tiffany Reisz was featured in the Lexington Herald-Leader this week: http://www.kentucky.com/2012/08/26/2311329/lexington-couple-benefit-from.html#storylink=misearch. The article talks about how her writing career, and that of boyfriend and fellow author Andrew Shaffer, have gotten an unexpected boost from the runaway success of the fan fiction phenomenon, Fifty Shades of Grey.
Andrew will be discussing and signing his hilarious parody, Fifty Shames of Earl Grey, at Joseph-Beth Booksellers in Lexington this evening at 7:00 p.m. Tiffany and other ECWG members will be in the crowd, so come out to Lexington Green this evening and meet a whole bevy of local authors!
Update, 31 August 2012 — Tiffany was also featured in USA Today:

Sounds like fun!
Oh, wait… I missed it. It was last night.
I forgot about it.
It WAS a lot of fun. I’m sorry I didn’t get this posted sooner.
Andrew read a brief excerpt from his book — thank goodness it was brief, because I was laughing so much I had started snorting. I guess that means I won’t be able to read it in public (or even at home when my family is around to make fun of me.) All that is to say that I recommend it, highly.
