National Bestselling Author Gives Her Readers Fever and Eagerly Awaits a Promising Film Career

Durham, NC-August, 2002 -- Before you invest your time and money in yet another book, check with local and syndicated book reviewers as well as bookstore owners nationwide to find out what new novel they are recommending to their customers and readers this year, hands down--Linda Dominique Grosvenors third and highly anticipated contemporary fiction novel FEVER (BET/Sepia/Trade/$15).

ESSENCE Book Editor, Patrik Bass brands her, "a gifted storyteller!" It raises your temperature and your awareness like good reading should do..." -- Rebecca Shinelin, Community Relations Manager, Barnes & Noble. Regional Waldenbooks Buyer says, we plan to place a substantial order in time for the release date. The red hot cover of FEVER makes it hard to miss and difficult not to review." " North Carolina Reading Women say, we read a heck of a lot and it takes courage to write a book like this. This books deals with things that all woman can relate to including the pressure of unwanted sex and the shame it causes. I expect to see excerpts everywhere because it's just that kind of book. I urge all bookstores to stock well and stock early!"

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 its a story of learning to love without hang-ups, overcoming the labels that people place on your 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 devour me from the onset and I can definitely say that it is always a moving and most refreshing writing experience."

It is not surprising that Hollywood is already abuzz about Grosvenor's fourth and yet unsecured novel SPANISH LULLABY. Insiders cite that her realistic" approach to storylines is what has etched her name on the literary landscape. Although SPANISH LULLABY has yet to be optioned for a film, representatives in the authors camp are almost certain that the film may just beat the book into print. High profile names like Jennifer Lopez, Marc Anthony and Antonio Banderas are already being attached to what would be a timely multi-cultural film project, drawing out not only the yet untapped Hispanic filmgoing market as well as gaining support from the African American market but will bring out Grosvenors loyal reading fans in droves. She says, I refuse to chalk up the film interest up to luck. A hardworking story with life lessons deserves to make the transition to film."
