HAPPY BIRTHDAY, AS THE WORLD TURNS!

In April of 2006, to celebrate As the World Turns' historic 50 years on the air, the show released a tie-in novel, Oakdale Confidential.  The book went on to hit #3 on the NY Times best-seller list (yay, soap fans!).

A few months later, they released a holiday version, Oakdale Confidential: Secrets Revealed which... well... revealed who'd actually written the juicy book in question (remember when Nancy first took the credit/blame?).

Katie wrote a new introduction for the second edition, defending her decision to spill all of Oakdale's secrets in print.

Today, to celebrate the show's anniversary, click here for a free, on-line excerpt from Oakdale Confidential: Secrets Revealed (including A Note From the Author, Prologue and Chapter #1).

Enjoy!
