Author Klim Surprises All Except Fans with The Winners Circle

Cult favorite author Christopher Klim (Jesus Lives in Trenton) releases two surprising books in 2005 -- a new comedy about lottery winners (The Winners Circle) and the first in a juvenile fiction series (Firecracker Jones Is On The Case) -- both highly praised.

(PRWEB) October 5, 2005 -- Christopher Klim isn't one to sit still. When most authors are content to settle into a genre and style, Klim changes with each release. He's moved from satire (Jesus Lives in Trenton) to true crime (Everything Burns) to juvenile fiction (Firecracker Jones Is On The Case) and now to romantic comedy (The Winners Circle, ISBN 193343502X), all in the span of just three years. Throw in a popular manual on the writing craft (Write to Publish) and the launching of an international literary publication (Writers Notes Magazine), and you begin to see the portrait of an ambitious new literary talent.

"Is there no genre this man can't write in? The answer is no," said national reviewer Julia Faillia Earhart. "Klim's writing and voice is stronger than ever. He has what it takes to make it onto The New York Times Bestseller List."

Hopewell Publications, which recently secured releases from best-selling author Robert Gover and American philosopher Eric Hoffer, admits that it is challenging to market the renaissance author. "Klim is a moving target," his publisher said from their east coast offices. "He's changed careers like a chameleon and traveled the country. His books appear to be gauging the temperament of society at the turn of the century."

It is this broader picture that is now attracting larger attention. Publisher's Weekly, in a rare small press book review, called The Winners Circle "clever and funny," although major publications such as Booklist have praised Klim since the start.

"While Jesus Lives in Trenton and Everything Burns sparked the desire for more," stated Maggie Harding of Book Reporter, "The Winners Circle is sure to cinch Christopher Klim's place among the top humor novelists of the day."

Perhaps it is Klim's diverse background (bartender, master chef, space program physicist) that allows him to bridge styles and thought, or perhaps it's his obvious charisma that attracts fans to his readings and key magazine interviews with literary lions such as William Stryon, Tim O'Brien, and Ben Yagoda. In either case, Klim is now a literary talent himself, too multifaceted to ignore.
