If You're Lucky Enough...

...to be on HarperCollins, there may be a lucrative sitcom cameo in your book's future:

Those who thought a TV show positing Pamela Anderson as a bookseller was a laughable idea have turned out to be right. It’s so laughable, in fact, that the Fox sitcom built around that conceit, Stacked, currently airing Wednesday nights at 9:30/8:30C, is shaping up to be an unexpected hit for the network. Though word of the show’s future won’t be final until after May 19, a Fox rep says its prospects “look good.”

For HarperCollins, which plugs its books on the sitcom each week—the publisher outfits the show’s bookstore set with a rotating library of its titles—a second season of Stacked could yield an even more fruitful partnership: HarperCollins authors may appear for bookstore signings, with the possibility of having their books worked into the show’s storylines.

So we can expect to see King Dork strategically placed between Pam's ... uh... hands?
