Bestselling author Karen Quinn holds contest to reward women who lead busy lives!

Are you a woman whose life is hectic, fast-paced and super-busy? Then national bestselling author Karen Quinn invites you to celebrate her forthcoming novel, "Wife in the Fast Lane," by entering her new contest for busy women everywhere!

In a one-liner, essay or video, share what your life in the fast lane is like and you could win one of dozens of prizes, including a $2,000 gift certificate to Canyon Ranch Spa and a 14K gold charm bracelet.

To enter the contest or learn more about the rules, visit Karen Quinn.net. The deadline for entry is February 16, 2007.

Here is how busy women have been describing their fast lane lives:

I knew I was living in the fast lane when:

• I started drying my underwear in the microwave.
• My three-year-old daughter insisted on calling her playroom her "office."
• I was talking on the phone and forgot whom I was talking to and why we were talking.
• I returned from one too many business trips and my three-year-old greeted me as "Aunt Mom."
• I surprised my son by picking him up at school and his first question was, "Did my nanny die?"

Send your entry in by February 16, 2007. Then look for Karen's new book, "Wife in the Fast Lane," to be published by Simon & Schuster on March 13, 2007. Her newest novel is the much-anticipated follow-up to her national bestseller, "The Ivy Chronicles" (soon to be released as a major motion picture).

In "Wife in the Fast Lane," Karen revisits the harried and often unintentionally hilarious world of the working woman extraordinaire who struggles to manage a career, husband, kids, school, business and more, all while keeping her sanity in check.

Publisher's Weekly has already raved that "Wife in the Fast Lane" is "a delightful story" that's "good fun up to its happy ending!quot;
