Welcome to the world of self-publishing. A major publisher had already offered to publish her book, but Ms. Woodward Pu decided to self-publish, and was rewarded with the first 24 hours of her book Type A+’s launch—she made almost as much money as the publisher offered for the entire deal.
Type A+ outsold Snookie of Jersey Shore fame, a celebrity at the other end of cerebral continuum from Ms. Woodward Pu. The Hurriyet, the most read newspaper in Turkey and surrounding countries with two million daily readers, did a multi-page Sunday magazine feature story on Ms. Woodward Pu and her book, causing her sister to declare, "you have to be the most famous American woman in Turkey!"
My vote is for PG county. If she's in DC proper, she's somewhere near Anacostia. Or Radiologist Daddy and Lawyer Mommy did some serious helping out. Because there's no way she's making money on this tripe.

LOL, you just reminded me of my mom's term for this bang-style (the bangs go up AND down!):
threejs - DH is from PG county (born and raised, as was mom and her sibs, the gparents moved there during WWII) and he'd say the same. Real estate is (relatively speaking) affordable in PG County. Montgomery and Howard Counties are where the money's at.

"When Quin Woodward Pu—a straight-A Asian-American extrovert from Georgia with a penchant for vodka, designer shoes, and older men—receives her acceptance letter from Johns Hopkins Medical School, she is forced to make a decision between giving up her hard-partying, man-eating ways and continuing her fabulous VIP lifestyle and pursuing a more glitzy and glamorous career. Type A+ is the memoir of her transition from MCAT-teaching pre-med free clinic volunteer to directionless, yet fabulous and resourceful, freelance writer. Like many Asian-Americans, she butts heads with her first-generation Chinese father when she strays from his life plan for her to attend a top medical program. She is encouraged by her histrionic but loyal friends—from an undiagnosed alcoholic roommate, to a bohemian BFFL, to a middle-aged playboy dermatologist boyfriend —to follow her champagne-soaked dreams of becoming a journalist."
She sounds like a trainwreck waiting to happen. Also, a total bitch.
