“Reading The Brandon Book Crisis often made me laugh, and I was sometimes surprised, in anticipation, to experience feelings of certain, 'business-as usual' emails being 'ominous'. This 'fast-paced', confusing, and funny new 'reality novel' offers 'insight' into Muumuu House, its affiliates, and the book publishing process. I recommend it highly.” - Brandon Scott Gorrell, author of DURING MY NERVOUS BREAKDOWN I WANT TO HAVE A BIOGRAPHER PRESENT
