WHO I AM NOT

I am not a gorgeous half-Egyptian/half-Norwegian.

To be fair, I've never been mistaken for one.

But as I was looking at the cover of my latest novel, "The Man From Oakdale," I realized the following:



There is a couple in a clinch on the cover. The authors are listed as being "Henry Coleman with Alina Adams."

Since "Henry Coleman" is one-half of the couple, it might be presumed that Alina Adams is the other half.

But I am not that gorgeous.

Believe me, no one on Earth is a gorgeous as Ewa da Cruz, the woman who plays Vienna Hyatt on "As The World Turns" and is pictured with actor Trent Dawson, who plays Henry.

Do you know who else I am not?

I am not Henry Coleman. I'm not even the one who plays him on TV.

I merely "collaborated" with Oakdale's resident bon vivant -- as Trent Dawson explains in this interview with "Soap Opera Weekly."
