The Fiction Writer Jillian Cantor

Last night I dreamt I went to Malibu again

The once-rising literary star Olivia Fitzgerald is down on her luck. Her most recent novela retelling of Daphne du Mauriers  Rebeccawas a flop, her boyfriend of nine years just dumped her and shes battling a bad case of writers block. So when her agent calls her with a high-paying ghostwriting opportunity, Olivia is all too willing to sign the NDA.

At first, the write-for-hire job seems too good to be true. All she has to do is interview Henry Ash Asherwood, a reclusive mega billionaire, twice named  Peoples  Sexiest Man Alive, who wants her help in writing a book that reveals a shocking secret about his late grandmother and Daphne du Maurier. But when Olivia arrives at his Malibu estate, nothing is as it seems. The more Olivia digs into his grandmothers past, the more questions she hasand before she knows it, shes trapped in a gothic mystery of her own.

With as many twists and turns as the California coast,  The Fiction Writer is a page-turner that explores the boundaries of creative freedom and whose stories we have the right to tell.
