FICTION
“OSCAR NIGHT AT WINCHELL’S DONUT HOUSE” is now available for you to read. This is an original short story that I wrote a few years ago. I'm currently working on a collection of short stories and have one more to write. These stories are all set in the city of Los Angeles.
"Diary of a Hollywood Nobody"
After moving to Los Angeles, Chris Yarborough, a plucky screenwriter wannabe from Ohio, lucks into a meeting with an associate producer soon after her arrival. Chris meets the woman's boss, a famous director who could get her that instant script sale and/or aggressive agent. She carefully cultivates the heavy hitter's friendship, only to have an unusual meeting with Paul West.
Chris encounters many celebrities such as: an action star who's ignored by her boss; a British actor who admires her legs; an amusing run in wtih a sexy star; a musician/actor wants to take her to dinner; and a multiple Academy Award winner reads one of her scripts.
Told in a witty manner, yet a bit more cynical than Bridget Jones's Diary, and more contemplative than The Second Assistant: A Tale From the Bottom of the Hollywood Ladder, this novel features a character who never gives up her quest in becoming the next great screenwriter.
Diary
of a Hollywood Nobody is approximately 120,000 words, and has not been
downloaded anywhere. Some of the names have been changed to protect the innnocent,
the not-so-innocent, and the downright guilty. If you would like more information,
