NOVEL
Phantom Author is a literary satire that asks the question – with tongue firmly planted in cheek – "Who really wrote the world's great novels?"
It answers the question with irreverence, wit, and mischievous intent.
Roger McAuliffe
"Take a look at the bestseller lists: you would be amazed how much of it is the work of ghostwriters – novels as well as nonfiction. We are the phantom operatives who keep publishing going ... preserving the seamless illusion of the Magic Kingdom."
- From The Ghost, by Robert Harris
