The Accidental Life of MF Ascher
by Ivy H. Booker
Genre: Dark Friendship Fiction | Suspense | Female Ensemble
Tone: Big Little Lies meets The Better Sister
Four writers. Four genres. Four reasons to kill.
Sophia, the brilliant literary novelist who will do whatever it takes to succeed and keep her secrets buried.
Chelsea, the thriller author with an ax to grind after a humiliating betrayal left her penniless and black-balled from publishing.
Talia, the optimistic romance writer who has a dark side she can’t admit, especially to herself.
And Max, the self-destructive memoirist who wages a personal war against authority.
When the four broke writers meet for their annual retreat in upstate New York, they share it all—insulting rejection letters, crushing disappointments, the projects that almost made it but fell short. With s'mores, too much wine, and the need to let loose, they decide to have some harmless fun and create an outlandish story using AI.
But what starts out as a joke accidentally produces a real book that somehow goes viral and brings an unexpected cash windfall the likes of which they’d never thought possible.
As book sales surge and pressure to maintain their anonymity mounts, they turn against each other, leading to deadly consequences.
In The Accidental Life of MF Asher, loyalties are tested, reputations are at stake, and revenge is the only way out.
Dark, gripping, and laugh-out-loud funny, this is a novel about friendship and the intoxicating dangers of money, technology, and the blinding quest to succeed at any cost.
