DRINKING CLOSER TO HOME, Jessica Anya Blau's second novel, has just been released to rave reviews. Author Irina Reyn calls it, "Unrelentingly, sidesplittingly funny." DRINKING CLOSER TO HOME has been chosen for TARGET stores "Breakout Author" series, and is already in the second printing. Jessica's first novel, THE SUMMER OF NAKED SWIM PARTIES, was chosen as a Best Summer Read by the Today Show, the New York Post and New York Magazine. The San Francisco Chronicle and other major newspapers chose it as one of the Best Books of the Year. This month, the electronic version of THE SUMMER OF NAKED SWIM PARTIES is on sale for 99 cents. You can get it at Barnes and Noble and Amazon, or you can buy it from independent bookstores (HOORAY for independent bookstores!), too!
