Press Release Summary: Writer reads novel, Rocket Man from Studio in Ernest
Hemingway's Attic.

Press Release Body: Oak Park, IL, October 17, 2008 -- Writers give readings in
coffee houses, bookstores, libraries, schools, classrooms, but few give readings in
musty old Victroian attics that once belonged to the one of the greatest writers of
the twentieth century. But that is exactly what William Hazelgrove did. The attic
also happens to be his studio, a serendipitous occurrence ten years before that put
him in Ernest Hemingway's birthplace. "I was just looking for a place to write and
the woman giving tours said there might be some space in the attic," the writer said
while filming the reading for YouTube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GARVlfztYF4.
Some might see the self promotional angle of reading in a legends home, but
Hazelgrove just shrugs. "The medium has gone to the internet and people are buying
their books there, getting their reviews there, and yes, watching their videos there
on YouTube. So if I can get the word out on this book with a reading, then to me
it's just like a reading in a bookstore." Hazelgrove's fourth novel, Rocket Man is
already setting the online reviewers on fire. Amazon's sixth ranked reviwerer gave
it a rave review, saying, "Rocket Man is a brilliant piece of writing, a work that
meticulously dissects contemporary life in America with such a keen eye that the
author is able to catch at least passing glances at us all."

The reading takes place in the hot attic that looks like something out of horror
picture with red trusses and old trunks. "There is still a lot of stuff up there
from the Hemingway family," Mr. Hazelgrove says, getting ready to read again. "I
think Ernest would be pretty amused that a place he used to come up to when he was
six, is going into cyberspace."
