“A Festival Wife" is a romantic thriller that takes place in the world of film festivals. A roman a clef, it contains characters, both real and disguised, coming together at the fictional San Lorenzo International Film Festival, a composite of many real festivals. Anyone who has been to Cannes and the global film markets will find the characters recognizable and the story intriguing – even controversial.

The novel was serialized in weekly episodes online from March 30 thru May 31, 2009 exclusively for fest21.com and filmfestivals.com readers, drawing more than 1000 readers to this unique tale of love, betrayal and murder in the sexy world of international cinema.

“ A Festival Wife is a well-written story about life in the artificial world of a film festival.  Seen through the eyes of a jaded, semi-retired publicist, the festival is exotic, colourful, and populated with dreamers, crooks, liars and cheats.  Everyone wants to be a part of the magic, or live in the fantasy, at least for a while.” Linda Schoales, Editor, Web Fiction Guide (www.webfictionguide.com )
