D.D. Marx Hosts Pre-Launch Party for Her Upcoming Book

From a young age, D.D. Marx knew that "social" should have been her middle name. She was the girl on the playground who made matches for all her friends and later parlayed her talent for exuberance and fun into a job at Second City in Chicago as a storyteller. Now, she will be releasing her first fiction book, Beyond Believing, through Next Century Publishing in April 2015. In celebration of this important milestone, D.D. recently hosted a big party for her family and friends at which they were invited to purchase advanced copies of her book.

The party was themed "Untitled Chicago" and centered on the 1920's Prohibition Era in downtown Chicago. Guests sipped signature D.D. Marx cocktails and received a goodie bag full of ddmarx-branded items to enjoy after the party. About 100 people in total attended and each purchased a copy of the book as a "ticket" for admission. Another 500 copies of the book were available for purchase for family and friends who were unable to attend.

Beyond Believing is a fictional work that encompasses the author's love of romance and storytelling. The book began when Marx was asked to write a story of what she would do with superpowers and she immediately thought of visiting with her best friend, who had passed away, one last time. The inspiring and funny tale grew from this exercise is due to be published April 6, 2015, Beyond Believing will be available through Next Century Publishing as well as other online retailers.
