Red Carpet Rivals: a novel
“Red Carpet Rivals is to the movies what The Devil Wears Prada is to fashion.”
– Mickey Goodman, author/journalist
Red Carpet Rivals features an ensemble of larger-than-life characters who alternately love, hate, help, and betray each other as they get caught up in the frenzy surrounding the most celebrated of Hollywood awards shows.
Shelter from the Texas Heat: a novel
The tales of three generations of women are blended together like a tangy, hot and subtly sweet barbecue sauce.
Laugh and cry with this story about keeping secrets and the power of friendship. Set in the “Kennedy Camelot” years of the 1960s to the present, the novel is an emotional roller coaster that even includes a stop at the State Fair of Texas.
