Press Release: "Noraebang"

/24-7PressRelease/ NEW YORK, NY, July 17, 2009 Canadian writer Eileen Schuh had no idea that a vacation to Korea would lead to the creation of Noraebang, a novel that explores Canadian biker gangs, Stockholm Syndrome and illicit drug smuggling to Korea. Now she's looking for an agent/publisher.

"I'm sorry. I'mfading, I often had to explain to my travel companions when my story characters joined me on the streets, in the parks,on the train, in the hotel," Schuh says. "They were invisible friends, sharing my space--seeing what I saw, hearing what I heard, smelling what I smelled--but living separate lives from mine and having vastly different adventures."

During her time in Korea, Schuh was introduced to the way of life, including the noraebangs, or singing rooms. Similar to Japan's karaoke, noraebangs are extremely popular in Korea.

Schuh states, "In my novel, the noraebang is significant because it is while the heroine is singing "I don't know how to love him" that she realizes she's falling for her captor."
