Author Laura Mansfield of Knoxville is slated to make a special appearance at Star Line Books, this Thursday at 6:30 p.m.
Fans are invited to sip a signature cocktail and hear from Laura as she reads excerpts from her novel, gives insight into her craft and signs copies of "The Narcissist's Wife," which weaves an "unputdownable" tale of one woman’s experience being married to the type of man we should actually avoid at all costs.
"I’m thrilled to partner with Chattanooga’s only independent bookstore to introduce "The Narcissist’s Wife" to one of my favorite cities," Ms. Mansfield said. "Star Line Books is a downtown gem with a soulful vibe and an eclectic collection of beloved authors. It’s an honor to see my debut novel nestled on the shelves among its tempting titles."

About the book:
Described as an alternately humorous and poignant novel, the book follows the trials and tribulations of a mature, suddenly single again woman who finds herself in a relationship with a nice guy, who ultimately turns out to be a narcissist. Written with Ms. Mansfield's trademark wit, charm, and pathos, The Narcissist's Wife is sure to strike a chord with women at all staged of life, and particularly with those who have experienced a difficult relationship.
In addition to being available in hardback, trade paperback and all major ebook formats, The Narcissist's Wife recently launched in audiobook format through Audible.com. The novel follows on the heels of Laura Mansfield No. 1 Amazon.com bestselling memoir, Geezer Stories: The Care and Feeding of Old People, which released in the spring of 2018. Birthed from a series of Facebook posts Mansfield originally shared to help her cope with the frustrations, heartaches and small joys of caring for her aging parents, Geezer Stories is described as resonating with an entire generation who are facing similar challenges.
The Narcissist's Wife was released May 29 from WordCrafts Press in hardback for $26.99, in trade paperback for $13.99, in all major eBook versions for $5.99, and is now available in audiobook format from Audible.com.
