My Early Christmas Present and a Partial Explanation of Why I’m Such a Weirdo
So, a couple of days ago my brother got into town, and he and my parents came over for dinner. We were sitting there at the dinner table and my dad started to tell me about how he had this GREAT new marketing plan.
Now, this from the man who has oft suggested I write a forbidden romance with a pope hero, or start a trend with clown romance. I understandably skeptical, and a little afraid.
Me: What did you do?
Dad: It will double your readership!
Me: you DO know that more than two people have bought my books, right?
Dad: Yeah! I don’t care how many people have read them. THIS WILL DOUBLE YOUR READERSHIP.
Right. Okay.
So yesterday, he came over with my mom and brother in tow (they had no idea what was up either) and he had a flash drive. And well…then this happened:
Yep. My dad commissioned A Stereotypical Englishman to make me a video. As someone said on twitter: Your dad thought an English chap in a loincloth would make a good stocking stuffer?
Well, yeah. And my mom would like me to take this opportunity to point out that *I* clearly take after my dad. Apple. Tree.
So what do you think? Will people be running out and buying my novels? They ARE exceedingly good. A man in a loincloth said it. So you know it’s true.
Oh, and Merry Christmas!

Wow Maisey. Just. Wow.
That? is HILARIOUS. I think I might be a little in love with your dad. Is that weird?
Scarlet, I agree. 😉
Nicola, it’s okay. I understand. And it is basically hysterical.
Loves it.
Your Dad rocks. That is all. 🙂
That is too funny. And please never write a clown romance. Clowns are not funny or sexy or anything good. Just creepy and wrong. Blergh!
Oh! I was offline and saw the tweets on my mob about this video, yet just now I got the chance to check this out!
What an awesome gift for you, Maisey! Now I’m getting ideas… maybe have a man in full British guard regallia do this? With the red top hat?
Your Dad is ah..mazing!
Fiona, thanks!
Jackie, Quite!
Sherri, I PROMISE.
Nas, so glad you’re safe and back online! And glad you enjoyed it!
