Author Talks for The Other Beautiful People, a new novel by Caroline Bock

Caroline Anna Bock

I hope you will join me at these upcoming author talks for The Other Beautiful People, my new novel, a workplace love story. Find out how I wrote a novel — my first for adults — after I thought I would never write another full-length novel again. Find out how to write a novel that is so close-to-the-bone, it hurts. Find out how to write a novel about secrets– and the secret joy about working at the Cinema Channel (in real life I was the senior vice president, marketing and public relations at Bravo and IFC). Discover a book club read with so much to discuss about working women, about work families versus home, about Manhattan and the work in the weeks following 9/11…and about a passion for classic movies and life… join me here… Caroline

REMEMBERING 9/11

Caroline Anna Bock

I wrote an essay for booksbywomen.org on 9/11. I will never forget. Twenty-five years ago, I was working for BRAVO cable network.

It’s the setting for my novel, but every year on September 11, I pause and remember….

Remembering 9/11 By Caroline Bock, Author of The Other Beautiful People

Never forget.

Thank you for reading my work!

A beautiful reader from my working girl past…

Caroline Anna Bock

I am so grateful to all the readers of my new novel, The Other Beautiful People, who have reached out to me since its publication in June– but none more than my former colleagues at Bravo, IFC, and IFC Films. My novel is a workplace love story, set at the fictional cable network, the Cinema Channel.

Some of you will know the real-life Kathleen Dore… and if you don’t, know she was the type of boss I always aspired to be– smart, innovative, results-oriented, but always kind and caring. She led Bravo/IFC for many years, and I am proud to have worked for/with her! With her permission, I am sharing her thoughts on The Other Beautiful People.

FYI — copies of The Other Beautiful People are available everywhere books/ebooks are sold — support your local bookstore here https://bookshop.org/p/books/the-other-beautiful-people-caroline-bock/0f40829cdb5f9bff?ean=9781646037292&bkshp-astro=t

Have a wonderful weekend all! Read on!! — Caroline
