Book Notes

The story behind the book begins with one night, three bestselling authors, and one big idea…

Eileen Dreyer: A funny thing happened to me at a writers’ conference. I was at a cocktail party when the topic of erotic paranormal fiction came up – it’s the next big think, we were told. So I said, “Hey, there are three of us. Let’s do one about three sisters who can’t control their powers, so wacky erotic hijinks ensue.” It was a joke. Really!

Anne Stuart: I thought Eileen had has too much fun at the cocktail party, but I’m well-behaved at all times, so I turned to Jenny and said, “What do you think?”

Jennifer Crusie: I thought they were both nuts. “What the hell,” I said. “I’m in.”

Eileen: And I didn’t know how to tell them it was a joke, so I was in.

Anne: And I can never resist a challange, so I was in.

Jenny: And then I said, “Let’s collaborate and make it a novel.” And here we are.

Eileen: And The Unfortunate Miss Fortunes turned out to be a really wonderful story about three sisters with supernatural powers whose aunt sends them their true loves so that she can steal their powers from them.

Anne: And then trouble ensues. So the moral of the story is: Don’t make jokes at cocktail parties with romance writers because we’ll write anything…

Jenny: …unless you want to write a funny, erotic, paranormal, brilliant novel that’s going to dazzle readers and make you very proud.

There’s magic in the night.
