What happened to Eve in Hollywood? I've been trying to find a copy but it's not available through Amazon, my library or even Powell's books!

When I finished writing RULES OF CIVILITY, I had no desire to follow the lives of Katey or Tinker further. Everything that you needed to know about those characters, I felt, was between the bindings of that book. What I did find myself wondering was what happened to Eve? So, to answer that question, I wrote a series of six interlinked short stories called EVE IN HOLLYWOOD, which some years ago I sent to readers on my distribution list, and which is now available for purchase on a limited basis.
Fans of RULES and A GENTLEMAN IN MOSCOW should be forewarned that these stories will not offer the same satisfactions as those novels. By definition and design they are more elliptical. What they do offer is a glimpse into my process. In these stories, hopefully, you will see how I begin to develop elements of time and place, character psychology, and narrative tone.
If interested, you may obtain a printed, bound and signed copy of EVE IN HOLLYWOOD by contacting one of my local independent booksellers in New York City: Shakespeare & Co. You can order the book from them either online (see the link below) or by calling the store at (212)772-3400.

Actually, it's not a question that I want to ask! I just HAD to tell you that I believe A Gentleman in Moscow is THE BEST book I have EVER read ... and I have read plenty! I own Westwinds Bookshop in Duxbury, MA. We are celebrating our 70th anniversary this year! Would you ever be able to come to Duxbury and do an event around this great book! Everyone is cheering its arrival! It would be such an honor! (Lydia)?
