Author and journalist Randee Dawn’s first novel, Tune in Tomorrow, looks to be a perfect summer 2022 escapist read. Dawn combines our reality TV-saturated landscape with the dazzling enchantment of a fantastical realm. The latest drama out of Love Is Blind can’t hold a candle to a reality show filmed at the behest of the Fae.
As a seasoned entertainment reporter, Dawn is uniquely poised to shine a spotlight on how the industry works behind the scenes while also transporting readers to a faraway place—the world of Tomorrow. Here’s a first look at the eye-catching cover by Head Design for Solaris/Rebellion Publishing:
And here’s what awaits readers in Tune in Tomorrow:
She’s just a small town girl, with big mythic dreams. Starr Weatherby came to New York to become … well, a star. But after ten years and no luck, she’s offered a big role – on a show no one has ever heard of. And there’s a reason for that. It’s a ‘reality’ show beyond the Veil, human drama, performed for the entertainment of the Fae. But as Starr shifts from astounded newcomer to rising fan favorite, she learns about the show’s dark underbelly – and mysterious disappearance of her predecessor. She’ll do whatever it takes to keep her dream job – though she might just bring down the show in the process.
“Tune in Tomorrow is a book packed with some of the things that make me happiest: TV, divas behaving badly, being torn between two lovers, fantastic creatures and mangoes. Yes, mangoes,” Dawn said upon the novel’s acquisition by Solaris. “I’ve spent a lot of years peeking behind the entertainment industry’s tattered curtain, and it’s almost as magical and off-the-wall wackadoodle as the world of Tomorrow.” We can’t wait to visit.
