Publishing Witches!

by Balk posted @1:36 PM

What's on your reading list these days? I'm in between books right now, but I think I just discovered what I'll be reading next: the new one from author/California Bar member Richard Wanderer. It's got ARROGANT MAGAZINE EXECUTIVES and WITCHES!

THE HOLIDAY PARTY is a fictional suspense novel about a family-owned publishing company whose employees, used to a benevolent and caring management, suddenly find their lives dramatically changed as a publicly-owned, profit-driven media conglomerate takes over the magazine. Wanderer has relied upon his many years in the publishing business to create a composite of fascinating characters with background locales set in NYC, LA and Washington, DC. To add some "bling" to his novel, he researched the Wicca religion, and elements of it are woven into the story.

Somehow this title wound up being self-published, which goes a long way toward explaining why the book business is in such terrible shape.

    Oooh, Courtney Thorne-Smith's got competition.

    Is this the one where Willow guest-starred on Angel?

    When he calls it a "fictional suspense novel," does he mean that the suspense in the novel isn't really there?

    A "bling"-encrusted novel? Must be a a weighty tome.
