Book Party

We had a small but enthusiastic turnout at the book party this afternoon. I'll post pictures as soon as I get them.

Don't forget the virtual book party/signing coming up!  I'd love to have you come along for the ride!

24K!

Wow! 24,000 hits! That's a lot!  Keep on reading Pageantude for the latest in Miss Louisiana and Miss America news.

Check out my author page!

I now have an author page on amazon.com. Check it out here: http://www.amazon.com/-/e/B002VXWN7W.  I'm still trying to get a pic of myself up there.  You'll find my bio and details on how to buy the book.  Discussion forums coming up shortly.

Congratulations to...



Miss Louisiana Port City Rebecca Price




Miss Spirit of the Red Raven Hollins


See you at Miss Louisiana 2010!

Christmas is just around the corner...

...and that means it's time to think about the perfect gift for your special pageant someone! How about a copy of Myths America: A Practical Guide to Pageantry?  Whether you're a newcomer, seasoned veteran or someone who's just interested in a behind-the-scenes look at the Miss America program, this is the book for you!

How to get it?  It's easy!  It's now available on amazon.com! Just do a search for my name (Hollie Domiano) and you'll find it there!

I'll even sign it for you!  Just e-mail me at hollie1216@cox.net and I'll tell you about how to get it to me. If you prefer, I can sign a book plate for you so you can stick it in the book at your leisure. It's actually easier to send me a book plate since books can take up a lot of postage.

Don't want to carry a book around but would rather read it on your computer? Go to stores.lulu.com/mythsamerica for a download, or better yet, contact me directly and I'll send you an e-copy.

Don't forget the Amazon launch party this Sunday, November 8 at 1PM. We finally have a location: PJ's Cafe at 7624 Maple Street in New Orleans.  RSVP: my e-mail address above or call me at (504) 289-4161.

If you can't make the launch party in person,  I'm trying to organize a virtual event so you can attend via chat room. That will happen later. (more like, as soon as I can figure out how to set things up.)

If you'd like to set up a book party in your area, let me know so we can work out the details.

Happy Holidays, everyone!

TLC and the Miss America Organization said Wednesday that the 36-year-old "Extra" host and former "Dancing with the Stars" contestant will again serve as master of ceremonies for the live Jan. 30 ceremony at the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino in Las Vegas.
