Dear Reader,
Did you know Edgar Allan Poe accused Longfellow of plagiarism? That Thoreau set a forest on fire? That Colette tried to be the next Mary Kay and that John Steinbeck battled Nazis alongside Douglas Fairbanks Jr.?
Those are some of the 200 amazing stories I dug up while researching WRITERS GONE WILD: THE FEUDS, FROLICS, AND FOLLIES OF LITERATURE'S GREAT ADVENTURERS, DRUNKARDS, LOVERS, ICONOCLASTS, AND MISANTHROPES.
WRITERS GONE WILD looks at literary men and women both on and off the job: how they shook the world with their art, their clashes with editors and censors, and their feuds, drinking and affairs.
And if you'd like to be entered to win one of five copies of WRITERS GONE WILD, write me at bpeschel at gmail.com by Dec. 15, and visit www.planetpeschel.com to read an excerpt.
Cheers,
Bill Peschel
