Award-Winning Novel FUGITIVE COLORS Debuts on Amazon.com

CHICAGO, May 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Journalist Lisa Barr announced today the debut of her award-winning novel FUGITIVE COLORS on Amazon.com, and the launch of her website "GIRLilla Warfare: A Mom's Guide to Surviving the Suburban Jungle" (http://www.girlillawarfare.com).
FUGITIVE COLORS by Lisa Barr (ISBN: 0615625940, GIRLilla Warfare Press, Soft Cover / $12.95 / 398 pages / publication date April 30, 2012), which won first prize at the Hollywood Film Festival for "Best Unpublished Manuscript," is a suspenseful tale of an artist's revenge after World War II. Julian Klein, a young American artist, leaves behind his religious upbringing for the artistic freedom of Paris in the 1930s, only to find himself trapped inside a world in which a paintbrush is far more lethal than a gun.
An artist-cum-unlikely spy, Julian is forced to contend with jealous inferior artists who attempt to destroy those with true talent. Love, Friendship, Betrayal and Passion painted in FUGITIVE COLORS is never black and white. Like an abstract painting, Julian's turbulent journey is emotionally charged as he tries to rescue some of the most important pieces of Modern Art, including his own.
"GIRLilla Warfare" website was created to ignite women to join forces against the real enemies: Mean Girls (Alpha-Terrorists), Mean Moms (the Controllers), Mean Marriages (Romance -- Who, What, Where?), Mean Divorces ('Screw You and Your New Girlfriend Too' & Selfish Parenting), and Mean Selves (Beating up our Bodies, why?). For better and for worse, "GIRLilla Warfare" is a blog of real stories by women in a quest to find true meaning along the Mean Streets of Suburbia. And yes...it CAN be done.
A journalist for 20 years, Lisa Barr served as a managing editor at The Jerusalem Post in Israel, managing editor of Moment Magazine and Today's Chicago Woman. Most recently she served as a staff reporter for the Chicago Sun-Times. Her work ranges from covering terrorism and politics to celebrities, lifestyle, sex and relationships. She has contributed to numerous publications worldwide. She earned her master's degree from the Medill School of Journalism, Northwestern University. Lisa lives in the Chicago suburb of Deerfield, Illinois, with her husband and three teenage daughters (lots of Girl Drama, and fodder for her next novel).
