Blue Star Books’ new contemporary fiction novel, Fat Girl Fairy Boy by Carol McConkie, is full of adventure and drama on every page! McConkie succeeds in mixing irony, humor, and pathos in her debut novel. The plot follows bitter, middle-aged film star Frie from her rough childhood to her filming in South America, where her plane crashes and she and her best friend Robin, her gay makeup artist, are held hostage by terrorists in El Salvador. The unlikely heroes have to struggle to survive as their lives take a series of dramatic turns.

Ultimately, Fat Girl Fairy Boy is a tale of family, friendship, and personal discovery. Reviewer Steve R. Drew says, “Each night I looked forward to jumping into bed to read another chapter and follow the thrilling story about Robin and Frie. I’d love to see a movie version soon.” The staff of Blue Star Books agrees—FGFB belongs on the big screen!

Fat Girl Fairy Boy is already available as an eBook and will be released in print this September. Don’t wait to join in on the excitement! Purchase on amazon.com or book-hub.com. For additional information, contact marketing@book-hub.com.
