Sourcebooks Sells Early E-Installments of DAYS OF OUR LIVES Books
Sourcebooks is testing a new model in which it is selling early access to books connected with the soap opera Days of Our Lives. Although CEO Dominique Raccah said “very few” people have paid $9.95 to become members of the DaysInsider Early Access program so far, it’s “significantly more than we expected.”

The program launched earlier this month as a subscription-based Web site that gives fans early access to two new books in the publisher’s DAYS OF OUR LIVES series. The promotion coincides with the show’s 45th anniversary. Earlier this year, Sourcebooks and Corday Productions, which produces the show, announced a five-book deal consisting of a memoir, a 45th anniversary commemorative coffee table book, and a fiction series extending storylines featured on the show.

Michael B. Jordan previews his FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS character Vince in the show's final season
"He really is changing from boy to man. You'll smile with him, but you'll also cry. You'll probably criticize him for the bad decisions that he makes. His father comes back into his life – that's the only sneak peek I can give you – and that definitely wears on him."

Meet NYC’s new (soft) cover hunk: Timothy Adams
Adams, who’s 43 and still working steadily, says he came late to the pulsing flesh world, shooting his first cover at age 36. His secret to scoring that first naughty novel? “I looked really good with my shirt off,” he says simply. “Broad shoulders, six-pack all year round, nonstop action going on — that’s what it takes.”

ONE LIFE TO LIVE's Lenny Platt is now a contract player
Just days after ONE LIFE TO LIVE's Sean Ringgold (Shaun) signed a deal with ABC, the soap has announced that Lenny Platt (Nate) has been upped to a contract player as well! Platt made his OLTL debut in April as a castmember of "Starr X'd Lovers: The Musical."
