Now that Fay Weldon has written "The Bulgari Connection," how will other authors respond to the concept of sponsored novels? Stephen King "The blood flowed thick and red, staining the royal blue carpet under her feet to create a viscous purple--at least, that's the way the crisp colors looked with Kodak's Advanced Photo System technology." Stephen Ambrose "Col. James Harson was in the lead boat approaching Omaha Beach, but his mind was somewhere else: thinking about how this fight for freedom might one day lead to the development of a drug like Viagra, a drug that would ensure he and the men who beat back the Axis wouldn't spend their golden years wracked by the terror of erectile dysfunction." JK Rowling "Harry knew that Quidditch would never be the same after trading in his dusty broom for a revolutionary new Swiffer." Candace Bushnell "I knew I wouldn't make the 8 pm Jitney, since I needed to get to the pharmacy to buy Mifeprex, the safe, effective and innovative way to end pregnancy. With pregnancy no longer a worry, is 'casual sex' a redundancy? Isn't all sex casual these days? Is there no end to my rhetorical questions?" Dave Eggers "I'm in their office, the Cingular wireless office, talking about the new book and all we could do together and how great it could be, how real, how *important* it could be, when Mr. Cingular says, 'And David, it would mean so much to us if you could use our slogan: "What do you have to say?"' and he says this with pride, with passion even, because 'What do you have to say?' is what he has to say, what he *has* to say, not because someone's forcing him to, but because he wants to, *has* to, because he believes, believes in the Cingular Nation Calling Plan (not available in the state of Hawaii) and in the Call Forwarding feature *even though* there may be an additional per-minute charge." Phillip Roth "Portnoy stared long and hard into the cartoon eyes of the little redheaded mascot, but his eyes nearly popped out when he saw his large Wendy's Frosty; not only did it look delicious, it was so soft and moist..." Salman Rushdie "On St. Valentine's Day, 1989, the last day of her life, the legendary popular singer Vina Apsara woke sobbing from a dream in which, somehow, at the stroke of midnight, every Tucks Hemorrhoidal Towelette with Witch Hazel disappeared all at once." Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins (the Left Behind series) "It was happening, the Rapture, and Henry knew he would not be saved. No, not after spending last night with the October Hustler, a double-size issue crammed with 64 pages of hot lesbo action." William Jefferson Clinton "It's amazing that during this difficult period of my presidency, with Mr. Starr's team scouring all White House records, no one thought to examine the images I had recorded with my X10 Webcam. It's tiny and wireless!"
