Tex Miller Is Dead

Beschreibung

***NYC Big Book Award 2024 Distinguished Favorite for Romantic Comedy*** When a writer and her imaginary muse go head to head, real life gets complicated. Callie Austin, the unknown author of the wildly popular Tex Miller book series, decides twenty-plus years of living in anonymity is enough. Her plan? Kill the beloved Tex Miller. But with a fierce agent, a cut-throat editor, and a beyond-zealous fan base, Callie knows not everyone will be happy. And just wait until Tex hears about it. At twenty-two, Callie, orphaned and grieving, conjured Tex Miller, a dashing adventurer and now-adored literary character who makes women swoon and men sit up straighter. Her novel skyrocketed, but Callie was lucky. It was the mid-1990s, pre-internet explosion, and much to her publisher's chagrin, she insisted she remain anonymous by using a pen name. The enigmatic Calliope Jones was born and cloistered away in one fell swoop, leaving an idolizing public scratching its collective head. Visible only to her, Tex Miller became her constant screwball companion. Two decades and a dozen books later, on a routine trip to NYC, Callie plans to end the Tex Miller saga, but an up-and-coming streaming service's offer to turn Callie's books into an original series may waylay Tex's demise. Things spiral further when her trusted longtime driver falls ill, and a young replacement chauffeur catches her eye-and maybe her heart, while Tex goes rogue, unsure he's down with all the new plot twists.Throw in a dogged gossip blog's rabid pursuit of 'the truth' along with Calliope Jones's fervent fandom, and poor Callie Austin has her hands full.

Autor

Kelly Elizabeth Huston writes women-centric, genre-straddling fiction that always includes laughs and a love story. But sometimes there's heartbreak, a smidge of mystery, moments of suspense, and maybe a dead body... or two. Maybe. Above all, she hopes her protagonists are better for it in the end, and she entertains her readers along the way. She currently lives in Georgia with her husband and two nearly-grown sons, who are, hands down, the best cheer squad a writer could wish for. After spending a few years in the traditional publishing space, Kelly leaped to the indie side without looking back and is eager to dole out her book babies and get them read. She hopes you'll join her in the adventure. www.kellyelizabethhuston.com
