Dear Librarian, You've seen supermarket tabloids with the cover photos of drunk, skimpily clad starlets. Do you ever wonder what it is about those people that's just so fascinating? For a writer, a question like that can lead to a novel. Even better if the writer lives near the glitz, glamour, and decadence of South Beach. Chapter One: a wild party at a waterfront mansion. A young model has vanished. The police think she was murdered. Throw in a suspect with a mysterious past and a lawyer who doubts he's telling her the truth. Add some sparks between them. I think readers will love C. J. Dunn. She's a terrific character. She's struggling to stay sober, she adopts strays, she's loyal to her friends, and she's tempted by the celebrity life herself. But when reporters and paparazzi descend on the case, C.J. is caught in the media spotlight, a problem for a woman with too many secrets. Barbara Parker barbaraparker.com
