Bestsellers

A struggling independent publishing house is on the brink of collapse. To save it, the owner decides to publish an unpublished manuscript left behind by a legendary, reclusive author who died years ago. The catch is that the author himself, Harris Shaw, is alive and well, and completely unwilling to let his work be published. He strikes a deal to promote the book on his terms, leading to a chaotic and often hilarious publicity tour across the country with his reluctant publisher, Lucy Wild.
