Lady Of The Night

Lawrence Faraday, geek, academic and social misfit is a Professor of Creative Writing at a minor US Military University. Desperate to get a publisher…any publisher…to accept his latest tome after his previous four were rejected, if only to hold onto his job, he has an epiphany after a long drinking session. It’s women publishers in the New York cabal who are holding him back, because he’s a man.

So he takes a leave of absence, an apartment in New York, and posing as a woman writer called Angie, he writes an anonymous autobiography, LADY OF THE NIGHT, the life story of a hooker turned escort, turned high-profile courtesan. Why? So he can expose the feminist conspiracy which is stopping men like him from being world famous authors.

What he doesn’t expect is that his tell-all book is picked up by the biggest publisher in the world and becomes a global sensation.

Nor does he expect to fall in love with the tenant over-the-corridor, a beautiful Australian model.

All is going wonderfully for the hapless Lawrence, until the media set about exposing Angie’s read identity and her publisher demands a meeting.

LADY OF THE NIGHT is a hilarious look at the life of a writer, the world of publisher and journalism, and just how difficult it is in today’s world to stay anonymous.
