Tell us about your book! What inspired you to write it?
HOLLYWOOD UNDERWORLD is the first in a series about Tinseltown and the many lives of the people who live and work there. It’s a crime fiction story. If it were a film, it would be considered Film Noir. It’s about a courageous single mom and personal manager who gets help from a very handsome crime boss to find a missing actor client of hers. The inspiration came from my years as an actress in Hollywood back in the 90’s. It was a different world then, before the internet, so a young actress could easily find herself in many precarious situations, and I did!
How did you choose the title for your book? Did it come to you right away, before you started writing it, or did it come later?
Oh, the title came to me as I was writing it. I wanted to take the reader on an adventure through the dark and seedy underworld of this magical, glittering place. So many people who love movies (myself included) have no idea of what goes on behind the scenes. Harvey Weinstein is just the tip of the iceberg. I never met him (Thank God) but I men plenty of others.
Tell us about the cover design process. Did you have a basic idea of what your book cover would be like?
The cover was designed by Sassa Brown, and we both agreed we wanted something dark and foreboding to set the tone of the story. The cover art is very important. It’s like the music in a film, it sets the mood.
Who is your cover designer and how did you find him/her?
Sassa was my publisher for many years, and she is a great person. Very talented as well.
What has been the readers’ response to your cover?
Well, I have not had any complaints yet, lol. Most of the readers find the male model attractive. That’s a good thing!
What tips would you give to authors who are looking for a cover designer?
Make sure your cover is well done. The cover is what sets your story apart, it’s the first thing that catches the reader’s eye. You are introducing your book to the world with your cover, so make sure it makes a statement.
Anything else you’d like to say about your book?
If you like a nice, juicy, Hollywood crime thriller, then you should definitely check it out. My heroine is a touch cookie and a mom. Plus, she runs a business in the entertainment industry. We have all seen the news regarding the extent of the harassment and abuse that has been ongoing in Hollywood by men who have been using their power and status to abuse people. Many brave actresses and actors have been speaking out about this. This is a work of fiction, but it’s my story.
