My Tease for this week is from

The Publicist

Book One

by Christina George

My Teasers from pages 41 and 95 in the paperback.

From page 41:

Touring with aging actresses, one of whom was an alcoholic, a former producer who was more arrogant than anyone she’d ever met before in her life, and a yet-to-be-met assistant who found it impossible to write a single email that wasn’t in all-caps made her head pound.

From page 95:

 “Kate, listen, let’s not over think this, let’s just let it be. Let’s love each other as long as we can and when we can’t anymore, we’ll both know it.”

Synopsis

Welcome to the world of publishing. The ego has landed.

Can one woman change an age-old institution like publishing? Probably not, but Kate Mitchell sure wants to try. As a publicist with a large, respected New York publishing house, Kate finds herself at the mercy of a broken publishing system, books that don’t sell, and author egos that are often, well, as big as the island of Manhattan.

Enter the star Editor, MacDermott Ellis: Tall, handsome, charismatic, married, and ready to save the day. Then there’s Allan Lavigne, once a revered author–now as forgotten as last year’s bestsellers and his nephew Nick: Tall, gorgeous, sweet, single and ready to sweep Kate off her feet. Kate wants to do the right thing but her hormones seem to be driving her decisions.

As Kate tries to navigate the landmine of publicity, over-the-top author expectations, and the careful dance of “I’m sorry, your book isn’t on the bestseller list this week,” she also finds authors who are painfully overlooked by a publisher wanting more sex, more celebrities, and more scandal.

The story only an insider could tell.

I’ll be reviewing all three books in The Publicist Series next month.

What a modge podge of characters!

    Sounds interesting! Here’s my TT.

  7. Lola says:

    This book sounds interesting, I don’t think I ever read a book that dealt with the publishing industry like this. I can relate to that teaser about the all caps e-mail, all caps always rubs me wrong, if it’s only a word or two that’s okay, but not a whole sentence. Looking forward to read your review of this one!

    • fuonlyknew says:

      There re some really quirky characters, prima donnas and such. Lots of laughs and things to relate too!

  8. Lauren says:

    This sounds really interesting! I like how it’s set in the publishing industry. It seems quite different.

  9. Dagny says:

    The blurb across the top of the cover caught my eye. Not sure if I could take the book, but it sounds like it might have some humor to ease the pain of reading about celebrities. 🙂

    My TT this week is from the first Harry Potter book. http://wp.me/pZnGI-ma
