Book Description

Four Writers. Four Methods. One Twisted Novel.

When four eager writers adopt the "method acting" approach to add realism to their individual writing projects, their mundane lives are replaced by the outrageous, and each is plunged into a journey they never dreamed possible.

Dorian Nettle is a 29 year-old journalist who dreams of earning a Pulitzer Prize someday. She takes an undercover job at the call center of a local escort service to discover if she's anything like her late (birth) mother – a New Orleans' hooker.

David Hass describes himself as an unsuccessful, financially-impaired writer whose personal life is as depressing as his writing career. In an attempt to avenge his abused love interest, David is confronted with how far he’ll go to personalize his fictitious vigilante character, Kenny Black.

Georgie Mae Perez, is a twenty-something girl whose look on life is both fearless and foolish. Frustrated that her writing is ordinary, she picks up a gun instead of a pen and creates a whole new world of prose.

Marty Pitchford is a married man caught in a world of mediocrity and melodrama. Confronted by his wife’s extramarital adventures, Marty embarks on his own tantalizing escapades. When his daughter’s safety falls into the wrong hands, Marty must make a decision of what he truly wants.

Their adventures become dangerous to both themselves as well as others, and the way back appears bleak. Will they make important discoveries about themselves and each other that will be necessary to bring them home again?

This group novel was dreamed up and written by Bridget Callaghan, Michael Ray King, Nancy Quatrano, and Jeff Swesky - the Rogues Gallery Writers. Also, check out “Fictitious Fiction,” the bold collection of short stories written by the actual characters from “The Method Writers.”

5.0 out of 5 stars A Rollicking Good Tale! September 27, 2012
Format:Hardcover
What if you wanted to write a book but didn't have enough knowledge or experience on the subject? Well, you could find an expert. Or you could get the experience first-hand.

And so four wannabee-novelists set off on their quests. And they write a book about it. A book that will keep you turning pages as they get deeper into their hair-raising experiences.

This book proves that collaboration works. Congrats to all four authors for a rollicking tall tale!

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny and engaging August 26, 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Four would-be authors decide to take to heart the advice to "write what you know" by actually doing the things their characters do in the books they are writing. What starts out to be an experiment in realism very quickly lands all four of them in some seriously hot water. Can they get themselves out of trouble or not? You'll find yourself laughing out loud as you follow the capers of Dorian, David, Georgie Mae and Marty. Give yourself a treat . . . grab a mug of your favorite comfort brew and curl up with METHOD WRITERS.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Method Writers August 18, 2012
By Spemse
Format:Hardcover
"The Method Writers" is a great book to read and one that is hard to put down once you've started it! Four creative writers collaborate to make this book fun, intriging, suspenseful and full of twists and turns! You will love David, Dorian, Georgie Mae and Marty. And, you will feel that perhaps you've run into these characters at some point in time. Great read.
