Will “The Housewife Assassin’s Handbook” Get a Book Deal or Make the Project Publish Shortlist?

Is this worthy? First, and foremost, read the pages.
Then ask yourself how did this entry shoot up $46.00 plus with over 2000 shares traded in its first day of trading?
Could it be, I don’t know, a really efficient address book.
Is that what this contest is all about?

New stocks always shoot up the first day. However, have you read it? It’s hilarious. Very Mr. And Mrs. Smith—only good.

I saw these comments and did some research on this site. No other book in the “Get a Book Deal” category approached this book’s trading volume in it’s first 24 hours. Most took weeks to get to over 2,000 shares. The merit of the product is irrelevant. The only way to get that many trades in 24 hrs. is, well… you figure it out.

hmm. It is a little odd, I guess. But I can here from a link on a very popular romance blog. I’ve read her other books and they’re totally fab, so I spent everything I had on her shares. And I posted the info on my blog and a couple of my friends have to. Anyway, it’s fun watching her stock climb. I’ve never heard of mediapredict before now.

Agreed. Her stuff is really funny and acerbic. I think the stock ran up so quick because she really put it out there that she was excited about this contest. In fact, I saw it on two separate reading club e-letters, so that shows you she’s got a great fan base already. Since I’ve read her in the past, I thought I’d give this a try. It’s different from her Hollywood books, but has the same dark funny tone. And I LOVE the concept. Certainly this will be a contender. I’ve got my stock on it.

The Housewife Assassin’s Handbook is wickedly funny. Besides a great book series, would be a fantastic TV series…

Sex, drugs, homocide, baseball cups, “Hottie” pre-teens (?), responsible parenting, marital fidelity-despite employment-as-prostitute: this book appears to have all the making of another Los Angeles travellogue, especially with the word “I” – narcissism’s greatest means of vision – used 122 times [count ’em if you dare], and typos around every curve.
