Comedian Moreen Littrell Publishes Book "Lost In Manhattan"

Dec. 20, 2011 - PRLog -- Los Angeles, CA (December 4, 2011) – Today marks the release of LOST IN MANHATTAN (Demiloca Books) the debut fiction novel written by actress/comedian/director Moreen Littrell.  The novel – a roman à clef – is a send-up of the author’s own baptism-by-fire into Manhattan when she first moved there.

About the Book

Twenty-four-year-old Eve is finally making headway as an actress in Los Angeles. But when life turns upside down in less than 24 hours – leaving her without a job, car or home – she decides to move to New York where her boyfriend Pavlos lives. Unfortunately, Pavlos doesn’t recall inviting her. Thus, Eve arrives Manhattan homeless.  Once she lands, it’s survival of the fittest as her attempts to make Manhattan her new home – and reunite with Pavlos or not – are fraught with upending yet hysterical encounters with the often unsavory vanguard of the city.

Advance Praise for LOST IN MANHATTAN

“Zippy and laugh-out-loud hilarious, LOST IN MANHATTAN is a terrific read.
In Moreen Littrell’s New York, Jimmy Choos wouldn’t last a day.”
–   Tish Cohen, author of TOWN HOUSE (Harper Perennial), a finalist for the Commonwealth Writers’ Prize, and in development as a feature film with Fox 2000 with Ridley Scott producing
