Kirkus Reviews names Peltier "Author to Watch"
MELISSA JO PELTIER

Or at least reality TV shows do, according to Melissa Jo Peltier, author of Reality Boulevard, a scathingly satiric novel about Hollywood, nonscripted television (including shows such as Dancing on Death Row and Young Cons) and the deleterious effect it’s having on an impressionable viewing public.

“Today’s generation didn’t want to watch ancient actors reciting the same tired lines. They wanted to see themselves reflected onscreen –rude, raw, entitled. These kids needed to believe that they themselves were only one daring, controversial act away from being up on that screen themselves. ”

“Who do you love?
It's a question anyone should be able to answer. A question that defines a life, creates a future, guides most minutes of one's days. Simple, elegant encompassing.

I read your book. It was great. I really had fun reading it. I didn't know you spent so much time on set! You must have to so accurately have portrayed that environment and the characters and personalities. Thanks for the read. Have a good summer.
Mark, what a wonderful note to receive! Thank you for reading my book and I'm truly grateful you enjoyed it! Yes, I have spent thousands and thousands of hours on set. Maybe next time I should write a novel from the perspective of an animal trainer? I'm sure you have an entirely unique view of things! Hope you are having a good summer, and I'd be grateful if you'd leave a rating/review/recommendation for RB if you get a moment. xo
