January 20, 2011 marks the publication of a great debut novel called THE WEIRD SISTERS, by author Eleanor Brown.

Full disclosure here: Eleanor is an Amy Einhorn author, and although we haven’t met (yet) we have been carrying on a rather wonderful email correspondence over these past several months.  She is a wonderful and very funny person (if you don’t believe me, you should read her blog,) and I’m not going to pretend to be unbiased.  I am, and proud of it.  Amy Einhorn, our wonderful publisher and editor, sent me an advanced reading copy of the book, and – previous disclaimer notwithstanding – it’s fabulous.

I posted a review of the book on Goodreads, and will re-post that here on publication next month as a gentle reminder to you all that you should go out and buy it.  But don’t take my word for it.  Check out her book trailer below, and look at the frankly mouth-watering praise she has garnered from some very illustrious fellow authors.  The book has been selected as one of Barnes & Noble’s Discover Great New Writers program, which means that it will be everywhere. Really, it couldn’t happen to a nicer book.
