Dr.
McAleer joined the Diocese of Bridgeport in 1998 as Editor of Fairfield
County Catholic and Director of Communications. Born in
Norwalk, he was raised and has lived in Stamford for the past 30
years. Dr. McAleer is a Member and Trustee of Saint John the
Evangelist Parish, Stamford. |
|
Dr.
McAleer is the author of two books:
Popular Reading and Publishing in Britain (1993)
Winner of the Book of the Year Award
Passion's
Fortune: The Story of Mills & Boon (1999)
| This
is a well-written and extraordinarily well-researched
book about the history of the popular British publishing house of
Mills & Boon (Harlequin romances, etc.).
"Passion's Fortune" is entertaining,
informative, and eye-opening, as it sheds glowing light on a niche
(albeit large) business within publishing. You will not view
"cheap, summertime romance novels" the same after reading
this book!
