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.

Interesting premise – I’ll look forward to your thoughts!
Thank you for coming by mine today from Trail of Broken Wings
I’m getting into it!
I like your teaser! hope you’ll enjoy it to the end and have a good week, Laura!
Thanks Eryn. It’s getting good:)
This looks interesting. Being set in the publishing world catches my attention. I’ll be watching for your reviews!
That’s what caught my attention too. I’ll be reading all three books.
Sounds interesting. Looking forward to your review of it. My teaser is from a memoir Under Magnolia by Frances Mayes
It’s fun and interesting. Flying through it!
Sounds interesting! Here’s my TT.
It’s interesting and funny!
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!
There re some really quirky characters, prima donnas and such. Lots of laughs and things to relate too!
This sounds really interesting! I like how it’s set in the publishing industry. It seems quite different.
It’s refreshingly new and fun.
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
The celebrities are the humor. It’s not overbearing. They just give me some laughs!
Would make my head pound too… lol.. Good teasers!
I know. I hesitate to use exclamation marks because I feel I use to many.
I’ve been wanting to read this one. It looks good.
I’ll let you know soon. Reviewing all three books!
Love the teaser you picked from The Publicist, thanks for including my book!
You’re very welcome. I just finished it and moving on to book two!
