With When Alice Met Her Favorite Movie Star in an Elevator, Mayer invites you to curl up in your armchair and join her in her private escape: a fantasy life full of romance and personal fulfillment.When Alice departs from the usual premise that romance only occurs between young people or that only young people are interesting to read about. Middle-aged people, too, have dreams and passions.One of Annalisse Mayer''s dreams is to meet and get to work with her favorite movie star. When Alice allows you to explore this dream with Mayer, following the working relationship into both an offbeat love affair-not at all for the prudish-and an insightful view of how a dream career can become chronic overwork.This book was inspired by some of Annalisse Mayer''s personal fantasies about a real movie star. Maybe, when you''re reading this, you''ll guess who he is; however, his name has been changed to emphasize that this could be any movie star, including your favorite.Annalisse Mayer has an ongoing interest in disorders on the autistic spectrum, because of her own family experiences. True to her interest, she has added two characters in this novel who are on the spectrum. Learn more about such people, by enjoying their interactions with the heroine, Alice, and her movie star, Gem. - E-bokEngelska, 2001

What if..?After the death of JFK, Jr., the press was flooded with mesmerizing pictures of him, not to mention some rather lurid tabloid articles. The author found herself drawn into repeated, obsessive fantasies of what knowing him or having a romance with him might have been like.
Ultimately, she found herself writing down one of her fantasies as a novel.
She changed the names to make clear that this is entirely a work of fiction, her own fantasies, not actually about the real people who inspired her writing. She wove in her own life experiences: her son''s Asperger''s Syndrome, home birth, and information from a suicide prevention course. She also could not resist drawing in some pet political issues, for instance regarding abortion, pesticide spraying, and drug legalization.
The result is an eminently readable romance and psychological study, which should enthrall any woman of a certain age who fantasizes about younger celebrities or anyone who is interested in Asperger''s Syndrome.
