Produktbeschreibung
Celebrity PA Maddy Sparks has put her aspirations on hold to dash round London fulfilling the requests of her demanding clients. Acting as surrogate mother, best friend and therapist, Maddy is much more than just an assistant but feels stuck. That is, until her real ambition to become a screenwriter is reignited after a throwaway comment to Casper - a bitchy showrunner - and turns into a side hustle on his TV series. When he has a brush with the law, Casper expects Maddy to smooth things over like always, but how far is she prepared to go to realise her dream? Coerced and compromised, she turns to her network of fellow PAs. As a celebrity PA with 25 years' experience working for some of the UK's best-known names, author Merryl Futerman is perfectly placed to give a glimpse into this world in her fun, fast-paced debut novel.
Autorenporträt
Merryl Futerman started her career in publishing, working in the press offices of Virago and HarperCollins. Lured by the bright lights of showbusiness, she moved over to the film industry, but quickly realised the lifestyle didn't suit her. Having recognised her skill set as forming individual relationships, she set up as a freelance Celebrity PA, truly believing it was a role she had created. Over the last twenty years she has supported some of the biggest names in UK entertainment, including Jonathan Ross, Anne Robinson and Julian Clary (current). During the pandemic she turned her full attention to the novel she had been working away at for years, having previously attended classes at the City Lit and online with CBC.Merryl is keen to point out that all the characters in her book are entirely fictional, although many of the situations her characters find themselves in are based firmly in reality. Merryl has a high profile in the professional PA community and has appeared as a speaker and panel member at PA conferences at Olympia London and Excel. She has written articles for Executive Secretary, PA Life magazine and various blogs. There is a sequel on the way.
