National Best Selling Author Scorches into Second Printing with Fever

Durham, NC (PRWEB) July, 2003 -- Before you venture to the beach, critics say, donÂ’t forget your shades, towel and a copy of the novel FEVER (BET/Sepia/Trade/$13). This book (currently in its 2nd printing) is making its own waves and has sparked a reader buying frenzy nationwide.

Fever is Linda Dominique Grosvenor's third and highly anticipated contemporary fiction novel that boasts several relatable characters. Linda Dominique Grosvenor's poetic writing style has been praised by a loyal following of readers, reviewers and authors alike. ESSENCE Book Editor, Patrik Bass brands her, "a gifted storyteller!" Publishers Weekly touts, "Grosvenor has a [real] knack for character development..." Black Issues Book Review coins her "an apprentice of language," while Harriet Klausner, the #1 Amazon. com book reviewer finds her writing, "strong and insightful.” Emma Wisdom, book columnist for the Chatanooga Courier in Tennessee agrees and adds that, “the author writes with profound originality.” T. C. Royal (of the popular RAWSISTAZ. com website) echos that sentiment and says, “I highly recommend this novel.”

A former New York native and single mom who quit her job at the Health and Hospital Corporation to pursue a love of writing, the author confesses, "FEVER is the novel that I like to call a map. It follows the lives of 4 characters from LIKE BOOGIE ON TUESDAY and it's a story of learning to love without hang-ups, overcoming the labels that people place on you and triumphing to fulfill dreams. The story follows my character through the paths of their lives, which is quite enjoyable."

She is currently working on her first film project, a documentary BLACKGIRL. She says, "with the writing frenzy and high turnout of books nowadays it's important for me as an author to develop my craft and grow with each new project. It's not about comparison, but I think authors should absolutely love their books and be able to hold their head up high and say, 'yes I wrote that.' The characters from my books devoured me from the onset and I can definitely say that it is always a moving and most refreshing writing experience when IÂ’m allowed to put my thoughts into words."

Multi state tour. National and local advertising. Magazine, television and radio advertising, book club/bookstore mailers and participation in several literary conferences in 2003-4.
