FROM
award-winning playwright DAVID LAMB comes a modern spin on Dickens that
perfectly combines laughs and love.
Scrooge, or rather Scrooje, is
music's biggest superstar, with one hundred million albums sold and twenty-five
million Twitter followers. Belle is a take no prisoners legal shark whose
beauty causes traffic accidents as she stylishly zips through the sidewalks of
Manhattan. They never imagined being music's most powerful couple, but that's
what happened when Belle fell head over heels and gave the Coke-bottle glasses
wearing, biggest nerd on campus the ultimate makeover, turning him into a
fashion impresario whose style sets trends from Milan to NY Fashion Week.
Then it happens. Belle realizes
too late she's created a chart-topping monster as Scrooje's ego explodes. Now, it's been three years since they’ve
spoken. But tonight at Hollywood s biggest red carpet event they'll be given a
second chance.
With twenty-five million viewers
tuned in will Scrooje finally jeopardize his image and declare his love for
Belle? Will Belle even give him a
chance?
The
Romantic Times says On Top of the World is "hilarious, highly
entertaining, incredibly fun," and Foreword raves that it’s a "Fast
and Fun read that shows love and friendship have the power to heal." While
music star Talib Kweli says that it’s a “Dynamic novel about the price of fame
packed with so many laughs and so much heart I couldn't put it down."

About
the Author:
David Lamb is a native New
Yorker, born and raised, bitten with the writing bug since he was in elementary
school and had handwriting nobody could decipher. Like Charles Dickens, David
grew up a poor boy in the big city who found that the pen really is mightier
than the sword. In middle school Lamb's hero was David Lampel whose velvet
voice could be heard reporting the news over David's grandmother's radio.
Whenever he heard him on the radio, David would substitute Lamb for Lampel and
pretend he was delivering the news. Sure that he was destined to be a famous
reporter David was happy to go to a high school with a journalism program.
Like most kids, by the time he
finished high school he had a whole new career in mind. After high school he
went to Hunter College and majored in Economics because he wanted to be cool
like that college kid who came to speak at his last year of high school. He was
an Economics major, he was dressed sharp and above-all the girls thought he was
the man! So like any unreasonable high school boy fueled by overactive hormones
David figured if he majored in Economics they'd think he was cool.
After finishing college David
went on to law school at NYU, but all the time writing was still his heart.
While working as a lawyer by day, at night he transformed into a writer and
eventually wrote and produced the award-winning hit off-Broadway romantic
comedy Platanos Y Collard Greens.
Being a writer and having the
chance make people laugh out loud while challenging them to think about the
world around them, and inspire each of us to believe in the power of love and
our own ability to overcome life's challenges is a great gift that David truly
enjoys and thanks you for allowing him to share with you in On Top Of The
World: Until The Bell Chimes
