Rachel Marcus and the House of Fun: win with Bizcommunity

Read the third in a series of exclusive excerpts from copywriter Paige Nick's debut novel, A Million Miles from Normal, and win one of five copies of the book with Bizcommunity.com and Penguin Books. A romantic comedy set in the crazy world of a ridiculous below-the-line ad agency in NYC, in this excerpt Rachel Marcus - an expat copywriter from Joburg trying to make a life for herself in the Big Apple - visits Jimmy's XXX House of Fun after a fight with the man in her life. All she wants is a cool job, a guy who has all his own teeth and a decent cup of tea. Is that too much to ask? Competition ends 30 April 2010.
