Wendy Wax’s The Accidental Bestseller Virtual Book Tour ‘09 Kicks Off

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) May 27, 2009 -- Join Wendy Wax as she tours the blogosphere in June ’09 to celebrate the release of her new women’s fiction novel, The Accidental Bestseller (Berkley Books).

“The names have been changed to protect the innocent,” jokes novelist Wendy Wax about her new book The Accidental Bestseller. “It’s not a roman a clef, but I admit that parts of it are somewhat autobiographical. A few people may think they recognize themselves, but the real life experiences at its core are actually compilations of my own and other authors’ agonies, ecstasies and observations.”

The novel centers on a writer who, with her editor gone and her sales in a slump, discovers how merciless the business of book publishing can be. With the help of three writer friends, whose own successes range from modest sales to international renown, she faces daunting personal and professional setbacks as she struggles to pursue her dream. Wendy notes “I’ve intensified the difficulties, thrown in an empty nest, a cheating husband and taken a whole boatload of liberties, but I still see the story as a realistic look at the challenges confronting many published authors.”

The mother of a toddler and an infant when she decided to change careers, she admits it was not the best timing in terms of productivity. “I’m still not certain why I felt so compelled to write my first novel at that particular time,” she says, “but that first book took forever.” Since then she’s written six more books, including Single in Suburbia and THE ACCIDENTAL BESTSELLER. Her work has been sold to publishers in ten countries and to the Rhapsody Book Club. Her novel, Hostile Makeover, was excerpted in Cosmopolitan magazine.

Wendy lives with her husband John and her baseball-crazy teenage sons in the Atlanta suburbs where she spends most of her non-writing time on baseball fields or driving to them. She continues to devour books and is busy producing Accidental Radio, a new feature on her web site at www.authorwendywax.com.

“I’m thrilled to be representing Wendy on her virtual book tour in June,” says Dorothy Thompson, CEO and Founder of Pump Up Your Book Promotion. “I wish her luck and hope everyone will follow her tour to find out more about this talented and gifted lady.”
