Warren Adler's 27th novel
Children of the Roses, a compelling novel of family dysfunction and
redemption that follows the progeny of the Rose family whose exploits were
so poignantly recorded in The War of the Roses, will be published in
March, 2004 by Sourcebooks. His novels have been translated into more than
two dozen languages and two have become major motion pictures, the classic
The War of the Roses starring Michael Douglas and Random Hearts starring
Harrison Ford. A trilogy on Public Television The Sunset Gang was a
critical and popular success and has played many times all over the world.
It was produced by Linda Lavin and starred a stellar cast including Uta
Hagen, Ron Rifkin, Jerry Stiller, Anne Meara and Doris Roberts. Mr. Adler
is currently one of the few and perhaps the only novelist in the world
that has created a complete eBook and Print-on-Demand library of his works
which are available world-wide on every existing electronic platform. They
will be available soon in most languages and in audio. All of his titles
are in print in both hardcover and trade paperback wherever books are
sold. His website WarrenAdler.com is cited as one of the best in its field
and is linked to every major bookseller in the country. Mr. Adler's themes
deal primarily with intimate human relationships -- the mysterious nature
of love and attraction, the fragile relationships between husbands and
wives and parents and children, the corrupting power of money, the aging
process and many other important universal themes. His books have been
cited by readers and reviewers for their insight and wisdom in presenting
and deciphering the complexities of contemporary life. A product of the
New York public school system, Mr. Adler graduated from Brooklyn Technical
High School and New York University, where he majored in English
literature. Inspired by his freshman English Professor Don Wolfe, Mr.
Adler went on to study creative writing with Dr. Wolfe when he taught at
the New School. He also studied under Dr. Charles Glicksburg at the New
School. "I wanted to be a novelist since I was fifteen years old," he
says. "Throughout my early career, I would write from five to ten in the
morning every day before going to my office, a habit that has stayed with
me since." Among his classmates were Mario Puzo, William Styron and many
other talented writers. Two collections of short stories "American
Vanguard" and "Which Grain Will Grow" were published by Doubleday and
represented a showcase of many young emerging authors, who like Warren
Adler, won both popular and critical acclaim. "I wanted to be a novelist
since I was fifteen years old," he says. "Throughout my early career, I
would write from five to ten in the morning every day before going to my
office, a habit that has stayed with me since." After graduating from New
York University with a degree in English literature, Mr. Adler worked for
the New York Daily News before becoming Editor of the Queens Post, a prize
winning weekly newspaper on Long Island. His column "Pepper on the Side"
became a staple of a number of newspapers in the country. During the
Korean War, after basic training he was recruited by Armed Forces Press
Service to serve in the Pentagon as the only Washington Correspondent for
the service. His Washington by-line went all over the world and was
published in every publication put out by the Army, Navy, Marine Corps,
Air Force and Coast Guard. Prior to his success as a novelist, Mr. Adler
had a distinguished business career. He has owned four radio stations and
a TV station, has run his own advertising and public relations agency in
Washington, D.C. and was one of the founders with his wife Sonia and son
David of the Washington Dossier magazine. See how Mr. Adler lives. When
his first novel was published in 1974, he gave up all interest in business
to become a full time novelist, which he has been doing ever since. Mr.
Adler's novels have always been in demand by motion picture producers. Ten
of his novels have been sold or optioned to the movies. When he is not
writing, Mr. Adler lectures on creative writing, motion picture adaptation
and the future of Electronic Books. He is the founder of the Jackson Hole
Writer's Conference and has been Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the
Jackson Hole Public Library one of the most important libraries in the
west. He is married to the former Sonia Kline, a magazine editor. He has
three sons, David, Jonathan and Michael and four grandchildren and divides
his time between New York City and Jackson Hole, Wyoming. |
