Product Description
NOTE: This novel has been revised as of August 1, 2012Sometimes escaping can be the most dangerous thing to do.
All Kate Ramirez wanted to do was leave her lying, cheating, abusive husband behind and start a new life in a tropical paradise. But that's not so easy to do when he's a well-known pro baseball player being prosecuted for your murder and you unexpectedly become a best-selling author. Suddenly your new, quiet life in the tropics gets very complicated—and extremely dangerous.
Does Kate return to California to bask in the glory of her newfound fame—and free her husband who beat her to within an inch of her life? Or, does she remain in hiding on a remote island living simply and happily and let justice take its course? That decision may not be Kate's to make when a series of events forces the issue as this story races to a surprising conclusion.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
With the phrase "Best Seller" in the title, author Lee Silber knew this book had better be good. It may be his first novel, but he has written 18 other works of non-fiction and won ten awards for literary excellence, including the Theodore S. Geisel Award. Like his main character, Lee escaped life on the mainland and moved to Hawaii where he worked a number of odd jobs (including a stint as a suntan consultant) before his brothers lured him back to California to open a chain of surf shops. Since that time, Silber has had a successful run as an author, corporate trainer, and consultant—helping creative people master the business side of the arts and teaching business people how to become more creative.

Runaway Best Seller...For sure!By Julie Belmont
I've read and have most of Lee's non-fiction books so I was very curious as to his ability to immerse himself in a novel. I must say he did an outstanding job. Runaway Best Seller captures the reader and takes him/her on a rollercoaster ride of excitement and empathy for Kate (the protagonist) It is well written, light, humorous and yet heart rendering. It is evident Lee has a familiarity with Hawaii as he paints such vivid pictures of the lush beauty of the islands. I highly recommend this book and can't wait for Lee to gift us with another Novel. This book in my opinion mirrors its title... it is a Runaway "Best Seller."

Good Summer ReadBy Ross Lennox
Lee's first novel meets many of my criteria for a good book to escape with in the summer. The book was engaging and was hard to put down, described setting well( will have to get to Kauai some time),the characters were a little exaggerated but believable. The plot had some twists which were unexpected but fun. The chapter titles were distracting particularly in the first part and did get better towards the end. The editing and spelling errors ( 12 to 15) were not something one sees too often as noted by another reviewer. I enjoyed the read and the straight forward way the whole topic of domestic violence was described by the 2 women characters - it has become too complex in many novels. I have recommended the book to others who enjoyed the aspect of not tackling a major book from authors who turn a short story into a major work.

summer paradiseBy Susan Guzzetta
"This novel was a pleasure to read because it took me to paradise and provided the kind of escape a good summer book should. I felt like I was on vacation while reading it even though I was office bound."
