"A FESTIVAL WIFE" CURRENTLY SERIALIZED ON FEST21.COM
Filmfestivals.com,
the online source for global film festival news and resources, will
serialize "A Festival Wife," a first novel by former Variety reporter
Rex Weiner, and publish on fest21.com culminating in Cannes.
Here is the introduction to the seventh chapter.

California wine (in Italy!), a "Yo, Snow!" T-shirt and baseball cap -
the memory of the New Line party might have been suppressed entirely. A
blurred vision of Nora Callaway dancing amidst a circle of twirling
dwarves appeared briefly, as if rising through a mist, then was
consigned to experiences better left unexamined. More
