Hinsey Book Excerpt!
This week's issue of Digest features an excerpt from Opinionator Carolyn Hinsey's book Afternoon Delight: Why Soaps Still Matter. "It was SUCH a labor of love," she says. "It was so much fun researching the history of soaps and what a huge role women played in their creation and success. I especially appreciate my soap pals who let me quote them in this book: Thorsten Kaye was really helpful because he has a ton of ideas on how to save soaps and he let me steal every one of them…. Hunt Block shared his thoughts on how to save the genre (10 contract players per show and rotating guest stars)…. Rena Sofer counseled why calling them a 'training ground' is an insult…. Michelle Stafford explained how she got hooked on soaps 'as a wee tot' and shared why they matter today. Most of all, I got to talk to all my favorite people and outline why soaps need to stay on the air, now and forever — and I know Digest readers agree with me. Are you listening ABC?!" The book is available now for your Kindle at amazon.com. Check it out!
