New Weekly Web Serial Follows Humorous Mystery in New Jersey
April 5, 2007: This week the Wizard of Wit launched a free weekly web-serial entitled “It Happened in Plainfield.” The story is a humorous comic mystery that will be updated online each Monday with a new chapter.
The web-serial follows the adventures of Henson Ray, a gay NYC resident who moves to Plainfield, NJ after he receives an unusual offer from a mysterious benefactress. But life in the suburbs is anything but dull, as Henson soon finds himself embroiled in a real-life mystery involving a famous movie actress, peculiar neighbors and a secret society bent on his destruction.
Filled with colorful characters and witty dialogue, the serial is billed as “an amusing piece of fluff.” But as the chapters begin to unfold, readers will soon discover that the more outrageous the story gets, the more plausible it becomes.
Part satire/part mystery, the serial is the perfect escape for anyone who needs a distraction at work or a few good laughs. A perfect summer panacea for fans of “Desperate Housewives” or “Ugly Betty.”
The web serial is the brainchild of Writer and Marketing Manager Michael Latshaw, who began the project at the urging of some friends.
“I’d begun writing this sort of off-the-wall piece inspired by my move from New York City to Plainfield, New Jersey,” Latshaw explains. “When I showed it to some friends who were writers, they thought it would make a great weekly serial. That’s when I decided to take the next step and publish the story on my own. The world wide web seemed like a perfect venue for this genre."
The website has been up less than a week and the response has been extremely positive.
“People are really responding to the characters and the humor," Latshaw confesses. "I'm getting e-mails from perfect strangers who say they're already hooked, and they can't wait for the next chapter. So I guess the story has the right mix of humor and heart..with a little mystery thrown in to spice it all up.”
