#1 New York Times bestselling author of Big Summer and Mrs. Everything channels Shirley Jackson and Stephen King to bring us a chilling tale of an author willing to do anything to revitalize her career.
Sarah Vernon has spent twenty years trying to make it as a novelist…and she's never even come close. None of her novels has sold more than five thousand copies, and she's never earned enough money to make fiction her full-time job. After her last disappointing publication, Sarah's agent dumped her, and it seems like her dream is dead. Sarah vows that she'll do anything for one last shot at the bestseller list.
Enter Will Presser. Nicknamed The Viper, Will is a literary agent whose career-making reputation precedes him. A business dinner ends with a nightcap at Will's apartment—and a night Sarah can't remember. When she wakes up the next morning, Will says he's got a plan to make her new book a hit. He sends Sarah off to Elder Island, a summer playground for the rich and famous that empties out between September and May, for her own personal writer's retreat. He's left word that Sarah needs complete privacy in order to write, and Sarah's too bewildered and flattered by Will's attention to do anything but pack her bags and board the ferry.
Alone in an isolated mansion, Sarah's writing has never come more easily. She spends hours each day lost in a trance, falling into the world of her story. She tries not to worry about the nightmares that plague her…or the mornings she wakes up with dirt on her feet and blood under her fingernails.
Everything Will Presser touches becomes a success, and, now, Will Presser has touched me, Sarah thinks.
But Elder Island isn't the pretty summer playground it seems to be, and Sarah's going to learn that success comes at a cost, and that, whenever you sign a deal, it's always wise to read the fine print.
From acclaimed, Russian writer, Alexander Tsypkin, translated by Paul Lazarus, ONE IN A MILLION examines a humorous misunderstanding in St. Petersberg. From a collection of short stories titled, Sammynolie and Other Stories.
In this side-splitting memoir, the former Saturday Night Live star recounts the hilarious adventures and unexpected joy of dating and becoming a mother when she least expected it-at the age of forty-four. Anyone who saw an episode of Saturday Night Live between 1999 and 2006 knows Rachel Dratch. She was hilarious! So what happened to her? After a misbegotten part as Jenna on the pilot of 30 Rock, Dratch was only getting offered roles as "Lesbians. Secretaries. Sometimes secretaries who are lesbians."Her career at a low point, Dratch suddenly had time for yoga, dog- sitting, learning Spanish-and dating. After all, what did a forty- something single woman living in New York have to lose? Resigned to childlessness but still hoping for romance, Dratch was out for drinks with a friend when she met John.Handsome and funny, after only six months of dating long-distance, he became the inadvertent father of her wholly unplanned, undreamed-of child, and moved to New York to be a dad. With riotous humor, Dratch recounts breaking the news to her bewildered parents, the awe of her single friends, and the awkwardness of a baby-care class where the instructor kept tossing out the f-word.Filled with great behind-the-scenes anecdotes from Dratch's time on SNL, Girl Walks into a Bar... is a refreshing version of the "happily ever after" story that proves female comics-like bestsellers Tina Fey and Chelsea Handler-are truly having their moment.
