I have a new book coming out this fall:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Here's what Bethany Ball, author of What To Do About the Solomons and The Pessimists, had to say about it:

“Fast-paced and tightly wrought, R.L. Maizes’ new novel, A Complete Fiction, goes right to the mercenary hearts of two writers and with humor and pathos manages to skewer the publishing industry and the pressure cooker of literary social media simultaneously. We follow P.J. as she longs to publish a first novel and George, an editor, who turned her down for writing a book that he may or may not have plagiarized from her. Rooting for both with laugh out loud moments, I raced to the conclusion to find out how it would end.”

Here's what it's about:

With little evidence, would-be author P.J. Larkin serves a "nibble" on the trendy new social-media app Crave, accusing editor George Dunn of stealing the novel she submitted to him for publication. The nibble shoots to the top of the site's Popular Menu Items and before you can say "unpaid literary labor," George is embroiled in a scandal, his job and book deal in jeopardy. P.J.’s novel is snapped up amid the publicity, but has she revealed secrets belonging to her sister, Mia, in the book? Some diners on Crave think so and now it’s P.J.’s turn to feel the public’s scorn.
Told in the humorous vein of Where'd You Go Bernadette?, A COMPLETE FICTION is a novel that examines the very serious questions of who has a right to tell a story and has cancel culture gone too far.

I hope you all like it!
