NEW RELEASE
Elizabeth the First Wife - Lian Dolan (2013)
Elizabeth is a professor who teaches community college Shakespeare and English Lit. Her ex-husband returns home asking a favour of Elizabeth - that she be his acting coach for a new play at a Shakespeare festival. This would be an easy task if her ex-husband was a nobody or an average Joe, but he is in fact FX Fahey, the Hollywood action star. If the pressure to help him wasn't enough, Elizabeth is stuck on her current book proposal - a Look at Shakespeare and Love in the Modern Society. Can her journey of accompanying FX help re-ignite her passion of Shakespeare and re-discover love? Without giving too much away, Elizabeth the First Wife is a wonderful book that all those who hold even the slightest candle for William Shakespeare and his plays will cherish and enjoy thoroughly.

Elizabeth The First Wife, by Lian Dolan, is a tale about a woman reinventing her life in unexpected ways. The summary says: "Elizabeth Lancaster, an English professor at Pasadena City College, finds her perfectly dull but perfectly orchestrated life upended one summer by three men: her movie-star ex-husband, a charming political operative, and William Shakespeare. Until now, she'd been content living in the shadow of her high-profile and highly accomplished family. Then her college boyfriend and one-time husband of seventeen months, A-list action star FX Fahey, shows up with a job offer that she can't resist, and Elizabeth's life suddenly gets a whole lot more interesting. She's off to the Oregon Shakespeare Festival for the summer to make sure FX doesn't humiliate himself in an avant-garde production of A Midsummer Night's Dream." Elizabeth The First Wife is out in May 2013.
