Produktbeschreibung
Adam Verlain loves his careful, cloistered world of rare and antiquarian books. But when an American celebrity offers her very valuable 1865 copy of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" to his university, he has to be forced to travel from London to Los Angeles to close the deal. Then after a disastrous flight, he is taken aback when the actress refuses to give up the novel unless he escorts her to her latest film premier for reasons that seem...well, rather odd. Subjected to a radical Hollywood makeover, Adam is mistaken for a British actor, dragged to a goofy party, has to dodge an overly affectionate guard panther, and is shocked to learn the actress does not have the book. Can he escape the spotlight shenanigans to find a true treasure and keep it from falling into the wrong hands...and keep himself from falling for a woman who is way beyond his reach...in this zany quest to protect a priceless classic?
Autorenporträt
Kyle Michel Sullivan used to write screenplays, but shifted to writing books that range from sunshine and light (David Mar-tin) to cold and dark (How To Rape A Straight Guy, which has been banned more than once) to farcical and insane (The Lyons' Den) to mainstream romance (The Alice '65) to a tale of tragedy and redemption (Bobby Carapisi). He has ventured into SF-Horror-Suspense with The Beast in the Nothing Room, done gay revenge in Porno Manifesto and worked up a vicious female revenge thriller in Carli's Kills, then taken Cap-italism to its logical extreme in Hunter. He has also written murder mysteries (Rape in Holding Cell 6, The Vanishing of Owen Taylor, and Underground Guy). He tries to build characters as vivid and real as possible and has a lot of fun doing it mixed with angst, anger, and amaze-ment ... but that's the lot of a writer.
