World's First Novel in Blog Format Now Available on Amazon.com

The world's first novel in blog format by the world's most famous blog-fired flight attendant is now available on Amazon.com. The title of this ground-breaking book is Diary of a Dysfunctional Flight Attendant: The Queen of Sky Blog.

Austin, TX (PRWEB) November 15, 2006 -- Ellen Simonetti, aka "Queen of Sky," the flight attendant who was fired in 2004 because of her blog, this week releases her ground-breaking self-published book, Diary of a Dysfunctional Flight Attendant: The Queen of Sky Blog, on Amazon.com

Airways magazine says Diary of a Dysfunctional Flight Attendant: The Queen of Sky Blog is…

"Definitely something different…the tone is modern, hip, light-hearted, fun-loving, direct, personal--and sometimes rambling. The peccadilloes of passengers, pilots, fellow flight attendants are exposed, along with the trials and tribulations of life on the airways, embracing commuting, bidding systems, the crew base, and selling food on board. Interspersed with these revelations are various experiences, including tidbits of 'romance and sleaze' during layovers in South America and Europe.

"Although a fictional account, this irreverent and entertaining book realistically and humorously portrays the modern lot of the US-based airline flight attendant. Sit back and enjoy!"

The book, a novel in blog format, brings the internet phenomenon of blogging to the traditional publishing world. In the process, a new and exciting genre is born--a genre that allows everyone (even the technologically challenged) to experience the addictive voyeurism of this hip new medium.

The novel is based on Simonetti's controversial true story, which made headlines around the world and caused an international debate about the limits of free speech. It follows the online ramblings of "Queen of Sky," the alter ego of Elena Guaio, a fun-loving, light-hearted and slightly dysfunctional flight attendant for "Anonymous International Airlines." Elena's blog quickly becomes her trusted confidant, which she uses as a release and a tool to sort through the numerous ups and downs of her life.

As the months go by, Elena writes more and more candidly about the irritations of her job. She eventually even decides to post pictures of herself on her blog--pictures in her flight attendant uniform. The result of this seemingly innocent act throws her life into complete disarray. And a struggle of David and Goliath proportions ensues.

With entry titles like "Where's the Glamour," "The Trip from Hell," and "The Joys of Commuting," The Queen of Sky Blog is a realistic and humorous portrayal of a twenty-something single flight attendant just trying to find her way in the Technology Age.

The style of the book is in keeping with the feel of Simonetti's original blog (queenofsky.net): quirky, frank, and un-politically correct.

Diary of a Dysfunctional Flight Attendant: The Queen of Sky Blog is available new in hardcover on Amazon.com for $22.95 or $27.95 with author's signature. Here is the link to the book's page on Amazon:
