Feel the Burn is a ?behind closed doors? peek at the author's career as a personal trainer to New York's high society. The novel first appeared as an online column for David Patrick Columbia?s, New York Social Diary. The column ran every week for two years and attracted approximately 20,000 readers per week. The venues in the book are real or lightly veiled and the storylines all have a grain of truth but are essentially composites of the many people the author engaged in his dozen years with the jet set of New York and points beyond.
