Pay a visit to the website, of author, Travis Tea, and learn about 'the worst novel, ever purposely written', entitled, Atlanta Nights. A hoax, revealed in December, 2005, perpetrated by a number of published and yet un-published authors, against Publish America, who touts itself as being, 'the nation's number one book publisher'.
PublishAmerica, the self-described "traditional publisher" located in Frederick, Maryland, says of its own operation, "Each day, an average 78 new authors who are looking to find a book publishing company ask us to publish their book. We review not only the quality but also the genre of their work.... Like all serious book publishing companies we have to be picky as we can only accept the works that meet our requirements in both areas."
--excerpt from The Making of Atlanta Nights
" Richard didn't have as sweet a personality as Andrew but then few men did but he was very well-built. He had the shoulders of a water buffalo and the waist of a ferret. He was reddened by his many sporting activities which he managed to keep up within addition to his busy job as a stock broker, and that reminded Irene of safari hunters and virile construction workers which contracted quite sexily to his suit-and-tie demeanor. Irene was considering coming onto him but he was older than Henry was when he died even though he hadn't died of natural causes but he was dead and Richard would die too someday. . . ."

Question: What sort of research did you do for Atlanta Nights?
Travis Tea's answer: My research for Atlanta Nights consisted of changing planes in Atlanta. The other research I did was watching Macon County Line half-a-dozen times. You know how people tell you "write what you know"? That's boring. Writing what you don't know allows you lots more artistic freedom.
