Three's company with Rowan Coleman, plus a book giveaway

Introduction by Melissa Amster

**Giveaway is now closed**

It's a HUGE honor to visit Rowan Coleman's website and see our Facebook group listed under her favorite links. She doesn't have that many favorites listed, so it really stands out! I've enjoyed Rowan Coleman's writing ever since I picked up "The Accidental Mother" in 2007. And when we met online in 2010, she was incredibly friendly right away. She would have these status story writing contests on her Facebook author page and a couple of my stories stood out to her. These factored into the birth of Chick Lit Central, believe it or not. Through Rowan, I was connecting with other chick lit fans and authors.

This is Rowan's THIRD visit to CLC, and if she keeps producing more fantastic novels, it won't be her last! She's here today to talk about her favorite TV shows and is sharing signed copies of her latest novel, "Dearest Rose," with THREE lucky readers worldwide!

You can find Rowan at her website, Facebook and Twitter.

Favorite TV show of all time:
The Muppets. Saturday tea time, at home, the whole family, laughing on the floor like a loon, wishing to be Miss Piggy. When else has a pig been a role model?

Favorite comedy series:
I still love Friends, its the only sitcom and can watch over and over and never get bored of.

Favorite reality show:
I don't have a favourite reality show - oh wait no, I do love America's Next Top Model, it gets more bonkers every season.

Favorite show from the 80's:
Fame! I was desperate to be Doris, I WAS Doris, and I had the hugest crush on Bruno.

Favorite show that your kids watch now (admit it, you watch too!):
The only show we all watch together is Doctor Who, we love it. Even my three year old, joins in singing the theme tune.

Favorite theme song:
Oh, um. I have to say that I love the theme tune to True Blood. Its one the few times I don't fast forward through the credits.

Episode of a show that made you cry the most:
There was a TV series in the late eighties called Robin of Sherwood. I had a serious crush on the lead actor Michael Praed. I cried for a week after the episode when he was killed.

Which of your novels could you see turning into a TV series? Who would you cast as the lead characters?
I'm tempted to say all of them, but I think "Happy Home for Broken Hearts" would make a great TV series. I'd cast Caroline Quentin in the lead role. Right amount of humour and pathos. And Aiden Turner as Matt, although he is probably too famous now as he's about to star in The Hobbit. But oh, how I love him.

Thanks to Rowan for the honor of her presence once again and for sharing "Dearest Rose" with our readers!
