Update: watch the clip with Joe’s intro and commentary here!
Joel Haslam, the host-producer of CTV’s Regional Contact, e-mailed me:
Hi Melissa,
Here’s your “heads up.” Your story is airing this coming Monday April 4 on the 6pm and 11:30pm news. It will also be posted online with a link to your contact info and website. You may see a “promo” for your story airing over the weekend. Take care and thanks again.
Joel
Huzzah! Handspring time!
I’m working at GMH today, so please let me know if you get to see me on the news, seeing patients, or writing with my dog Roxy. Thank you so much to Joel, Jeff, and CTV for this wonderful opportunity.
The Emergency Doctor’s Guide to a Pain-Free Back will be available on April 21st in paperback and e-book formats.
You can pre-order the e-book at a special price of $5.99 (normal price $9.99). It’s winding its way to the e-shelves of Amazon, Kobo, and Nook, and other e-tailers as we speak.
The trade paperback will be $13.99 U.S./$18.99 Canadian.
I may be able to post the Regional Contact video here, if I get permission.
Thanks! Running off to the ER now! With extreme thanks to Joel, Jeff, and CTV news.
Another update: click on the back pain cover below to go to its book page, which will be updated as the retailers begin to stock it. So far, only Amazon and Kobo have the e-book in preorder for $5.99 (price will rise to $9.99 after its debut April 21st). But if you don’t feel like clicking on the pretty picture, click here for Kobo / Amazon.ca / Amazon.com / Amazon UK/International Amazon. Thanks!
Click to buy.

Watched you on CTV! Way to represent Canadian authors. Well done!
Yay, Selena Robins! We Canadian authors have to stick together. 🙂
Awesome job Melissa!
Congratulations! Can’t wait to read every one of your books! Never knew you lived in Glen Nevis. My family has lived there since the 1940’s
That’s so cool, Roxanne Glaude! Thanks for the support and for letting me know about your family. I must’ve run into one of your relatives at some point.
Good job on TV tonight Melissa you did a great job!
So glad you saw it, Sheila! You look like you’re living the good life outside the ER too. 🙂

Off-list, one of my new friends has pointed out that it’s hard to find the back pain links. The back pain book’s page will be updated as retailers make it available for pre-order (so far only Amazon and Kobo): http://melissayuaninnes.com/books/the-emergency-doctors-guide-to-a-pain-free-back/.
If you’re Canadian, eh, the direct link for Amazon is here: http://amzn.to/1RLCUFK
Kobo: http://bit.ly/1W9Fmev
Amazon.com: http://amzn.to/20436AK
Amazon UK, although Pierre L’Allier told me the last time I posted a wonky international link :): http://amzn.to/1V6Xm9D
Hope this works! Thanks for your patience. Almost wrote thanks for your patients, but I’m not working today. Except on taxes. Will definitely need patience.
The link to amazon.co.uk is fine. I have pre-orderd the book, of course
You are the best, Pierre L’Allier. Honestly. Posting links to raise awareness about women’s rights *and* pre-ordering my book to *prevent* back pain. Three thumbs up!
