The Girl Made of Stars

This isn’t exactly Medieval, but I’ve done something a little different…

This is my first Historical Fiction book and I couldn’t be more thrilled about it. And maybe a little scared. It’s been a long time since I tried something new, but this is a true passion project a long time in the making.

I’m a huge fan of old Hollywood and this book, THE GIRL MADE OF STARS, takes us right back to the early 1930s when movie stars were considered a commodity. There was little humanity in how the studios treated them. Jean Harlow is a perfect example. But before Harlow, there was the (fictional) Lola Grayson. Read the blurb…

***************************

Lola Grayson had it all.

In 1934, Lola was on top of the world. Dubbed “The Siren” by MGM, she was a protégé of Louis B. Mayer, the original talkie sex symbol before the rise of stars like Carole Lombard and Jean Harlow. But like Harlow, Lola Grayson had a dominant stage mother and bad health that struggled to meet the demand of the Golden Age of Hollywood. Exploited, pushed, primped, and promoted as MGM’s biggest star, Lola Grayson made one fatal mistake – falling in love with fellow MGM star Robert Taggart. Together, they were the golden couple that audiences demanded to see. But Lola wanted what every young woman at the time wanted – a husband and a family. For a major star, that was a death sentence.

Lola Grayson’s death rocked the world.

In the present day, Joey Cabot is a novelist with a struggling career. In a stroke of fate, she purchases Lola Grayson and Robert Taggart’s former home in Los Angeles. It was a love nest they kept hidden from the world, but what comes out of the old walls is a secret no one wanted to see the light of day. Something so explosive that it could lay Hollywood history wide-open. In discovering that secret, Joey sees the salvation of her career, but it soon becomes apparent that Joey isn’t working for her salvation, but for Lola’s.

Old Hollywood glamour and tragedy brings together two lost souls in this masterpiece fictional tale of one woman’s death… and one woman’s life.
