Joe McGinniss, Jr.
Morgan Entrekin apparently can't get enough of young Bret Easton Ellis types who just happen to have been sired by his cronies. McGinniss père is a prolific nonfiction author; Junior has given the world a semicoherent meditation on teen hookers in Las Vegas.

Blurb from Dad's friend:
"A gripping literary thriller and an auspicious debut." —George Pelecanos
The critics:
"McGinniss lacks [Bret Easton] Ellis's sly humor, and at times the deliberate flatness and repetition need a good shaking." —New York Times

Christopher Rice
Just like his mom, Anne Rice, young Christopher writes New Orleans mysteries. The major difference? His books are much, much gayer—in every sense.

Blurb from Mom's friend:
"The name Rice is synonymous with seamless and sensitive prose." —Sandra Brown
The critics:
"[This] earnestly overwritten debut novel flails wildly ... [There is little] doubt why Rice dominates the book's jacket." —Publishers Weekly
