Billibatt Productions teams with Fastpencil publishers just in time. In a first for self-help guides, author Lorna Tollison, the irrepressible protagonist from "The O Line Mysteries," reintroduces civil discourse and social disobedience in this new self-help book written just for fictional characters who have been dejected from "reality" programming.
(OPENPRESS) October 20, 2009 -- Somebody, quick, rush this book to Balloon Boy's Parents and tell them: You are not alone. Throngs of fictional characters have left their storylines to become reality programming "stars" only to be used up and rejected. Like you, they are now returning to their old fictional narratives, loitering around, humorless and plot-less. You are FUCA (Fictional Unfortunates Cast Aside) and "Nobody, really, Likes You" is your guide back to the action packed, thought provoking, and clever world of fiction.
Author Lorna Tollison, the irrepressible protagonist from The O Line Mysteries, reintroduces civil discourse and social disobedience in this new self-help book written just for fictional characters. The first of its kind, "Nobody, really, Likes You" uses satire and metaphors to explain everything readers will need to recreate their plot lines. These are difficult times in the fictional world: commerce masquerades as art, leaving characters confused about their roles and narratives. And this is exactly the type of confusion that can result in pretending to send your child up in a Jiffy Pop inspired helium balloon. But, by reading this definitive guide to insouciance, you can stay grounded and defend your narrative.
To the delight of satire fans everywhere, editor Saylor Billings brings Lorna Tollison to print for the first time. Books are available through fastpencil.com publishers and it is available as an e-book as well. This is the first book to come out under Billibatt's banner. Prior productions include "The O Line Mysteries" the audio podcast, "Phyllis of Ferniside" a documentary with Phyllis Diller, and "Townies" a sketch comedy television series for Alameda Public Television.
Fastpencil.com, located in the Silicon Valley, launched the first self-publishing platform that allows authors to write, share, publish and sell their books in July 2009.
