Locker Room Diaries hitting shelves, II

Hi everyone!

I just wanted to share the exciting news that my book, Locker Room Diaries: The Naked Truth About Women, Body Image and Re-imagining the "Perfect" Body (Da Capo) is coming out in paperback...it just landed on my desk, straight from my editor, and it looks beautiful, if I do say so myself. It came out in hardcover this past June and, as some of you may know, I've been on a book tour and doing all sorts of fun, interactive readings and signings since then. It's crazy to imagine it's been almost a year since I wandered into Border's and saw it up on the New Non-fiction shelf, right next to Teri Hatcher's Burnt Toast!!

Please do check it out if you're looking for an introspective exploration of body image, a delve into locker room subculture (!), a great beach read, need a new bookclub book - it can be many things to many people. It's what you make of it! Ann Kearney-Cooke, PhD, author of Change Your Mind Change Your Body and media spokesperson for the Dove Real Beauty Campaign, called it, "A must-read for any woman who struggles with her body image. Finally, someone has asked women what they really think about their bodies, and their answers are at once surprising, life-affirming, heartbreaking, and hilarious."

You can read more at my web site, www.lrdiaries.com or at www.amazon.com

As Justin would sing, "I'm bringing (my paper) baaack!!" (Can you tell I'm psyched?!)

Have a lovely day everyone! I'll tell you when it's oficially out in stores...

Yay! I've been wondering, I'm definitely gonna go pick it up!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Also congratulations...very exciting...any possibility they can be purchased at airports in the near future?

No kidding, girls - I fell in love with Leslie through her book. Reading Locker Room Diaries was like sitting down with a best friend and hashing out all of the body image issues I and every woman I know has ever had. I teach Spinning classes at an all Woman's Gym and Day Spa and am going to speak with the manager in charge of merchandise about stocking this book. Not only have I recommended it to my friends, family members, and students, but I have bought copies of it for people who I know would love it and benefit from it. If you haven't already read it, GET IT! The book will give you a whole new perspective on how you see yourself and your body.
