Her plan? Kill the beloved Tex Miller. But with a fierce agent, a cut-throat editor, and a beyond-zealous fan base, Callie knows not everyone will be happy. And just wait until \u003cem\u003eTex \u003c\/em\u003ehears about it.\u003cbr\u003eAt twenty-two, Callie, orphaned and grieving, conjured Tex Miller, a dashing adventurer and now-adored literary character who makes women swoon and men sit up straighter. Her novel skyrocketed, but Callie was lucky. It was the mid-1990s, pre-internet explosion, and much to her publisher's chagrin, she insisted she remain anonymous by using a pen name. The enigmatic \u003cem\u003eCalliope Jones\u003c\/em\u003e was born and cloistered away in one fell swoop, leaving an idolizing public scratching its collective head. Visible only to her, Tex Miller became her constant screwball companion.\u003cbr\u003eTwo decades and a dozen books later, on a routine trip to NYC, Callie plans to end the \u003cem\u003eTex Miller\u003c\/em\u003e saga, but an up-and-coming streaming service's offer to turn Callie's books into an original series may waylay Tex's demise. Things spiral further when her trusted longtime driver falls ill, and a young replacement chauffeur catches her eye-and maybe her heart, while Tex goes rogue, unsure he's down with all the new plot twists.Throw in a dogged gossip blog's rabid pursuit of \u003cem\u003e'the truth'\u003c\/em\u003e along with Calliope Jones's fervent fandom, and poor Callie Austin has her hands full.\u003cbr\u003e\n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 374\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.83 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 09, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51775051890976,"sku":"9798987788516","price":30.22,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/c3894c727a5fceff57d256cf39ab179f.webp?v=1780457817","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/tex-miller-is-dead-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
