Miami Beach, FL – September 15, 2011 – Interview Magazine threw a book launch celebration for the release of Christopher Bollen’s first  novel “Lightning People” at Soho Beach House. The novel was Christopher Bollen’s debut into the world of literature and he did so well with this piece. Bollen is currently the editor at large of Interview Magazine and he made his way down from his home in New York to par take in the festivities surrounding this release. The premise of the fictional novel crosses between themes of dark romance and tragedy with a harrowing story of finding oneself and true courage leaving readers inspired. This may have been Bollen’s first, but we sure hope it isn’t his last!
