Book Trailer: "My Fair Clone" by Will Watson

My Fair Clone, by Will Watson, follows Joe Zanowski, jaded millionaire, ladies man, and ne're-do-well who falls head over heals for the beautiful and vacuous Michelle, the product of secret human cloning. Joe wants her for the blank slate that she is so he can make her into the perfect wife. But, Michelle has been promised to another, literally, when she was still a child in the lab. Raoul Chavez, drug kingpin, bought her for body parts and aims to collect. A twisted version of My Fair Lady ensues as Joe tries to make Michelle into his version of Eliza Doolittle, while Raoul closes in to exercise his ownership rights. The tug of war between love vs. body parts gives new meaning to the phrase alls fair in love and war. Told as a contemporary science fiction cautionary tale, My Fair Clone teaches that love and biological necessity can sometimes be at odds, but love has the edge; in this case thats good news for sci-fi fans.
