The manuscript for MR NASTY has just come in. It is
the memoir of a former literary agent who inadvertently became a major
drugs dealer. His story takes him from London to New York, Los Angeles,
Thailand and Sydney. It is a cautionary tale which shows that drug addiction
doesn't just happen to other people. If you would like to see the unedited
manuscript please e-mail lianne.Harvey@mainstreampublishing.com MR
NASTY is scheduled for publication in Spring 2004.
