Lucky author Andrew Young. Bits and pieces from THE NATIONAL ENQUIRER about all the players in the John Edwards scandal keep sales of his book THE POLITICIAN brisk. The latest from the tabloid is that Rielle Hunter is still nursing Edwards's daughter Frances Quinn. The latter is two years old and must have a mouth full of teeth.
Right now, THE POLITICIAN is at #654 on Amazon.com. That's amazing for a book which has been out there a while. Meanwhile JOURNAL OF THE PLAGUE YEAR by Lloyd Constantine was published more recently. It's at #66,485 on Amazon.com. Since Constantine's book is on the much more compelling saga of Eliot Spitzer's fall from grace, it should be the magic circle of the Amazon.com Top 1000. But, it's not.
Perhaps Constantine's publicist should feed some juicy tidbits to THE NATIONAL ENQUIRER. That publication, which could bring home a Pulitzer, is an author's secret weapon.
