ELEVATOR PITCH: Misfit Kings is a novel about three misfit Elvis impersonators forced to admit their lives can’t be lived in another man’s spotlight—not even the king’s.

STATUS: Complete. Seeking representation.

FIRST LINE: On a sidewalk outside a bar on Beale Street, the Elvis impersonators arrive in droves: tall Elvis, short Elvis, Chinese Elvis, young Elvis, old Elvis, and—just to keep it interesting—a ringer who looks so much like the real Elvis, you have to remind yourself that the actual king is dead.
