PRESS RELEASE
FROM STANFORD ECONOMICS TO SEXY ROMANCE:
A STANFORD GRAD FINDS UNEXPECTED SUCCESS WRITING EROTIC NOVELS FOR SIMON & SCHUSTER
SONOMA, CA, NOVEMBER 17, 2005: Bella Andre (pen name for Nyree Belleville), who graduated from Stanford University in 1994 with a Bachelor’s in Economics and now lives in the Sonoma wine country, says, “When I was getting my degree at Stanford and reading my favorite novels between all nighters, I never dreamt that I’d end up writing sexy romances.”
Bella will dispel the myth that Stanford is sexless with her novel, TAKE ME, which will be published in November by Pocket Books, an imprint of Simon & Schuster. “The big joke on campus is that no one ever has sex,” says Andre, who graduated from Stanford University in 1994 with a Bachelor’s in Economics.
Andre was eight and a half months pregnant with her first child when her literary agent called to tell her that Simon & Schuster wanted to buy her debut novel. “I was so excited, I was jumping up and down and momentarily forgot I was pregnant. Fortunately (or not, depending on how you look at it), I didn’t go into labor until my due date, two weeks later.”
TAKE ME, a romantic fantasy that sweeps from the San Francisco to the rolling hills of Tuscany, is the story of a plus-sized heroine whose self-esteem gets a much needed makeover. Readers can view a one minute video trailer for TAKE ME at www.BellaAndre.com and the Borders / Waldenbooks chains and Barnes & Noble booksellers will be featuring TAKE ME prominently in their stores. She has recently sold two additional novels to Simon & Schuster, both based in Napa Valley. Prior to writing romance novels, Andre recorded four folk-pop CDs (www.nyree.com) and worked as Director of Marketing for a dot-com.
Title: TAKE ME ~ Pub date: November 2005
Format: Original trade paperback, $13.00 ~ ISBN: 1-4165-0957-7
