Books of the week

Favorite L.A. blurb from this week's Publishers Lunch round-up of fiction sales, but try not to picture it:

Lynn Isenberg's MY LIFE UNCOVERED, likened to Mary Tyler Moore meets Boogie Nights, about a female writer who comes to Hollywood to write the great American screenplay only to inadvertently write the great American adult movie.

That sold to Red Dress Ink. Isenberg created the Hollywood Literary Retreat and has associate producer credits on I Love You to Death and Youngblood -- and who can forget Maui Heat. Also sold:

Author of WAR BOY Kief Hillsbery's WHAT WE DO IS SECRET, set on a single night on the streets of L.A. in May 1981, about is a throwaway kid deeply involved in the scene dominated by the shadow of a punk legend, to Villard.

Legendary Hollywood manager and producer Bernie Brillstein and David Rensin's THE LITTLE STUFF MATTERS MOST: FIFTY RULES FROM FIFTY YEARS OF TRYING TO MAKE A LIVING, a pithy book of advice for anyone who wants to chart a unique path to success, to Gotham.
