Romantic Comedy Transports Readers Into a Sphere of Fun, Laughter and Love. Author LaRae Parry aka The Crazy Lady becomes top finalist in Internet's largest author/book/film competition now being called The Author's X-Factor with her debut novella, The Danish Pastry.
- (1888PressRelease) January 29, 2014 - LaRae Parry aka known as The Crazy Lady has made it through as a top finalist in MARSocial's Author-of-the-Year Competition. This competition, developed in conjunction with Keeran Vaanie Creations/International Film Producers is now the largest of its kind around the globe with literally millions of tweets, along with other social media sites. An excerpt from Parry's book, The Danish Pastry already won her the Author-of-the-Week award.
In Parry's book, The Danish Pastry, the princess from Denmark runs away after she learns of her pre-arranged marriage. The fun starts the minute she steps onto a commercial airline, incognito. She made up a lame excuse that she'd heard a rumor the Hotel Del Coronado in San Diego was serving fake Danish Pastries and she needed to investigate. Little did she know that she would end up in the arms of the resident playboy, and in the room that is haunted by the hotel's famous ghost. Readers will laugh, cry, and be a tad bit frightened in this Romantic Paranormal Comedy.
Parry submitted an excerpt from Chapter Ten of "The Danish Pastry" and it quickly became one of the top entries. She is representing the USA in the largest International altruistic competition ever launched on the world-wide stage. Book excerpts in the competition have gone out to literally billions on the large social media networking sites, with well over 200,000 tweets on Twitter alone. Other authors representing their country come from England, Scotland, Canada, Ireland, Wales, Germany, France, Australia, Israel, and Pakistan, and more.
In 2005, Parry suffered a botched surgery that landed her on life-support because of respiratory failure. The doctors did not expect her to live. She pulled through the ordeal in spite of the odds. While the Internet and social media sites were exploding, she was learning how to walk, read, and write again.
In the 1990's Parry was a published artist with twelve books under her belt. After the ordeal, she lost her artistic ability. Of the ordeal she says, "It's sort of good that it happened, I guess. I never really liked being an artist anyway. I like writing much better. "The Danish Pastry" is a result of her therapy. She has since written four other books and plans on writing many more.
