These are brilliantly funny novellas about 2 kids and their rise to fame in Hollywood. Jason Howl has a talent for sex and looking good. He lands a few bit parts and a decent role in the soap Eldorado, but dreams of a movie role. Katherine Kane, turns her dreams of being an actress into a knack for successful pornos. She is pretty, smart and principled, and the daughter of a TV evangelist.
The writing is witty and easy to read. You feel as though you know the stories and the characters, but the prose keeps you turning the pages. A more amusing Jackie Collins or Rebecca Chance. I can't wait to read the third novella in the series when Jason and Katherine film a movie together.
‘Soap-Stud & Blue-Movie Girl’ are two blisteringly satirical short novels, set in an alternative 1990s Hollywood in which stars such as James Dean and Marilyn Monroe are still alive and working.
‘Soap-Stud’ charts the career of hunky Jason Howl, discovered on a California beach by a talent scout and launched into working as a TV extra. A bit-part on the hit late-night soap Eldorado nudges Jason into the Big Time after some raunchy footage from a nude scene is posted on the internet.
‘Blue-Movie Girl’ is the story of mixed-race beauty Joylene Duchat, the estranged daughter of a ‘flasher’ turned televangelist. Introduced to a different kind of talent scout at eighteen, she becomes Pussy-Kat Kane, the hot new Queen of Adult Movies. But Joylene yearns to be a serious actress. Can she break out of porno into the mainstream?
