Chore Whore
Adventures of a Celebrity Personal Assistant

By Heather H. Howard

    Stars on the A-list know Corki Brown’s cell number by heart, and they’re not afraid to use it. Whether they need her culinary skills for a last minute dinner party, her shopping expertise for finding novel gifts or her finesse to get them out of a jam, Corki is the first person they phone.

    As if mothering the rich and famous isn’t enough to keep her hopping, Corki also has a ten-year-old, negative attention-seeking son. What with constant calls from the principal, her dwindling client list, and a trio Murphy’s Law days, one can’t help but wonder how Corki keeps it all together. But she’s strong, determined and too principled to give into temptations that would defeat a lesser woman.

    No heroine has ever earned “happily ever after” more than Corki. When life looks its darkest, Corki hangs on until the beam shines at the end of her tunnel. Readers get to vicariously rub elbows with famous celebrities, shop in famous Rodeo Drive boutiques and dine in the most exclusive establishments. Vivid descriptions pull readers right onto the set. Loveable, detestable and outright quirky characters give Chore Whore: Adventures of a Celebrity Personal Assistant the perfect cast. Each persona gives an Oscar-winning performance in this exceptional script.

    Don’t miss the premiere of an outstanding, unique plot complete with creative subplots, which will make readers wonder who is really hiding behind the author’s pseudonyms. Has Ms. Howard changed the names to protect the guilty? One may never know for sure, but it’s fun to speculate. Kudos to Heather Howard for writing an energetic, fun-filled novel!
