What it Takes to Make it In Hollywood

Today, a very different kind of holiday anthology came out. A Dark and Stormy Holiday features my story “What it Takes to Make it In Hollywood.”

Lyn Worthen, the editor of the book, said “What it Takes to Make it In Hollywood” is a “deliciously convoluted tale.”

And it is. It’s about a man waking up in a snowstorm not knowing where he is, followed by the discovery of a dead body and his arrest.
