Posted October 26, 2011 by Rowena in News | 0 Comments


I’m not one to go out and read fan fiction or write fan fiction myself but there seems to be a pretty big fanbase for that sort of thing and when we came across the following press release, we thought we’d spread the word to those of our readers who are into all of this.

M.J. Rose is the first published author to publish an e-fan fiction story and the book, titled In Session came out on October 17th.

Check out, the press release as we received it from our friends over at Meryl M. Ross Media Relations, Inc.:

M.J. ROSE HAS DONE IT AGAIN!

The first e-fan fiction book written by a published author!

International bestselling author M.J. Rose, a publishing pioneer who wrote the first e-book to be published by a mainstream New York publishing house, is once again thrilling the book world with another innovation – the first ever e-fan fiction written by an accomplished author called, IN SESSION where characters from major thriller writers’ bestselling novels are psychoanalyzed by one of Rose’s most unforgettable characters, the sex therapist Dr. Morgan Snow.

Fan fiction stories, usually written by fans of an original work, rather than by the author, are rarely commissioned or authorized by the author and almost never published professionally. This is the first time a well-known published author like Rose has sought and received permission to include popular characters of bestselling writers from the thriller genre, in three short stories tied together through one of her most popular heroines.

“With this fan fiction, you don’t just write it, you get it published,” said Rose. This is also a philanthropic effort on Rose’s part as proceeds from the audio book and a share of the proceeds from the e-book will be donated to David Baldacci’s Wish You Well Foundation, supporting family literacy.

M.J. ROSE (www.mjrose.com) is an internationally bestselling author of eleven novels including The Halo Effect, The Venus Fix and The Delilah Complex all featuring Dr. Morgan Snow. Her next novel, The Book of Lost Fragrances, will be published in March, 2012 by Atria Books (S&S). Rose is a founding board member of International Thriller Writers and founder of the first marketing company for authors, AuthorBuzz.com.

This sounds like something fans of MJ Rose and fans of fan fiction will enjoy. We thought we’d do our part in bringing it to our readers attention.

If you’re interested in reading the book, you can buy it here in e-format.
