James Frey Continues to Lie About His Press Strategy
Old dog, old tricks

James Frey told Vanity Fair that he wasn't going to do much press for his new book Bright Shiny Morning, which hits this week. Then he blogged on Amazon.com that he would be doing "some press." So, that's one new lie.

How about another?

Three weeks ago, Frey and his handler Lisa Kussell at PR firm BWR told ABC News Now, the broadcast network's digital 24/7 news channel, that he would do a sit-down interview, scheduled for today. Now, Jossip hears, with just an hour before he's supposed to shoot the live taped segment, he canceled. The excuse? "He doesn't look good. [...] He's drenched and not shaven."

So how about a phoner, then?

Nope, Kussel took that off the table too. Perhaps James doesn't even have a face for radio?

Actually, that's not true either. Frey will be doing a spot with ABC News Radio.

Oh come on. Not much press could mean that he's doing several things but not dozens like most major authors do on press tours. Your criticisms don't really make sense.
