Booked to Death, Second Edition contains new publishing insider material that every want-to-be author needs to know. Booked to Death, An Author's Guide to Publishing and Murder is a novel about two very different writers who are driven to the brink of desperation in their quest to land a lucrative publishing contract. MT Evans, early 50's, respected, publishing executive meets up with Sherry Cherelle a shallow, pampered, buxom aspiring author for a glass of wine at the Algonquin Hotel Restaurant in New York to commiserate about their publishing woes. Resentful of the success achieved by the 'nobodies' who commit crimes and then land BIG book deals, the frustrated authors unite for the perfect crime to guarantee their inclusion in the exclusive society of 'published authors.' Their criminal plans, just like their attempts to get traditionally published, fail in a comedy of errors, despite their well-thought-out strategy, but all is not lost as the tables turn. A bizarre twist of fate set in motion by their bungled crime spree brings about an unforseen contract, but at what cost? Read and learn...you will be amazed at what these two fictional characters do and what 'real' authors have done in order to get published by a traditional publisher.
