AUTHOR JJ SALEM LAUNCHES NEW WEBSITE/BLOG WITH GLAM GIVEAWAY

J.J. Salem, author of the 2008 UK bestseller TAN LINES, has launched a new Website (www.jjsalem.com) and companion blog (www.bonkbusterdiaries.com) in advance of the summer release of his next novel, THE STRIP, just praised by industry legend Jackie Collins as a “fun, fast, furious, and sexy read.”

The author site is a content-rich pinball machine of image galleries, video trailers, interactive games, snap polls, and book extracts (written and audio). Also offered is a free membership to the Bonkbuster Girls Club (BGC), a subscriber-based online activity that will feature commercial women’s fiction picks, sneak peeks at upcoming novels, drink recipes for book club nights, and immediate entry to contests and promotional giveaways.

Salem’s companion blog, Bonkbuster Diaries, is an homage to the past, present, and future of sexy, guilty-pleasure fiction as well as a place for the author to speak out on the writing life and to chronicle fantastic things happening in pop culture. The blog launch is being celebrated with a special glam giveaway—a metallic blue makeup bag and fiery red nail polish from Mac Cosmetics’ new Wonder Woman colour line, plus an advanced readers edition of Salem’s summer bonkbuster THE STRIP.

THE STRIP is a steamy page-turning account of three upscale married women with one scandalous secret in common—the hottest male escort in Las Vegas. Set for holiday release on July 15, it marks the first of Salem’s next four releases from Pan Macmillan. National bestseller Tilly Bagshawe has praised the forthcoming title as “deliciously sinful.”
