Dorrie Wiliams-Wheeler reveals all, in this brutally honest look inside the life of an author and pop culture critic. As stated several times in the book, she put this work together in two weeks. WOW! She must have worked day and night to accomplish such a feat. This book is a public relations masterpiece as it promotes everything she does from books, websites, feature articles in online journals, to blogs, and much more.
The diary entries chronicle how she got started in the business of web design and details obstacles she overcame, head on. The interviews are fresh and attention-grabbing. I actually went to several of the websites to check out artists like Guerilla Black, Heather Hunter, Brooke Valentine and Rhymefest. I read how she outlines her day-to-day work juggling website management, publicizing three books, raising two kids, and keeping a husband in line. The reader has a chance to view candid photos of Dorrie as she changes through the years. Two short stories are included at the end that will peak your interest enough to go online and order the books.
SPARKLEDOLL.COM: REFLECTIONS, CELEBRITY INTERVIEWS, AND BEHIND THE SCENES, WITH AUTHOR AND POP CULTURE CRITIC DORRIE WILLIAMS-WHEELER is a book for anyone who wants to work in the entertainment business and/or aspiring authors. Don't wait for a huge publishing house to welcome your story or someone else to develop your website, create your own way in your own time. Williams-Wheeler proves that it can be done. On the other hand, there is one huge lesson to learn, make sure you double check your editing, layout and picture quality before going to print. But what do you expect for a book that was put together from start to finish in two weeks.
