No one knows her name, but now everyone wants to. As an assistant publicist in Hollywood, Nicola spends her days (and nights) sweeping up the scandals of singers, movie stars, and TV actors. Fresh from Ohio, she’s rapidly discovering the real Hollywood is rotten under its glittering skin. Everyone is a hustler with a hard bottom line and a soap opera sob story. When she breaks her own rules and starts dating a movie star, the Los Angeles scene starts to spill into her own life. As the paparazzi begin the hunt for sexy star Seamus O’Riordan’s new mystery girl, Nicola’s best friend Billy has her back while he prowls parties for the latest scoop to sell to the tabloids. Her roommate Kara keeps tabs on things too—in between befriending a former child star and transforming herself from stylist to reality TV sensation. As the scandals pile up behind them, their pasts will be exposed… And every secret can be sold. Written by two Hollywood insiders, the jaw-dropping scandals are real, but the names are not. And they’ll never tell.
Australian-American Kevin Dickson lives on the outskirts of Los Angeles with his husband, three dogs and an incredibly annoying parrot. He is the author of the Vampire State book series - From Him To Eternity (book 1) and Seasons Of Blood (Book 2) - as well as the Los Angeles Times bestseller Blind Item and its sequel, Guilty Pleasure. He is also the former guitarist/vocalist of punk band The Chew Toys, and you can pick up their one album real cheap on Bandcamp. He's also a veteran entertainment journalist who somehow managed to survive fifteen years in the tabloids with a few shreds of integrity intact - even after appearing as a guest judge on Paris Hilton Is My New BFF. Kevin is a music obsessive. He's friendly and chatty, and can often be found at the LA Zoo, hiking the San Gabriels or nursing a Labios Rojos at La Justina in Tijuana. He is currently hard at work on the next Vampire State installment, as well as an LGBTQIA+ romance set in the sordid world of Hollywood.
