AN INTERVIEW WITH THE AUTHOR
I
want to write a book that could become a series of books. I also want to turn
my website Hollywood & Swine into a TV show.
Tell us about your latest release.
“Royalties”
is a multi-generational historical saga, very loosely based on the lives of my
two grandfathers, Groucho Marx and the legendary songwriter, Gus Kahn. While
the book is pretty much a total work of fiction, I used various events in their
lives to string the novel together. It’s also got a great love story that
weaves everything together.
Who would you most like to be stranding on a
desert island with? Least? Why?
Angelina
Jolie. I don’t think I would get tired of talking to her.
Karl
Rove. He just looks annoying.
First book you remember making an indelible
impression on you.
“Robinson
Crusoe”
If you could only eat one food the rest of
your life, what would it be?
M&Ms.
To me they are the perfect food.
ABOUT THE BOOK
AN EXCERPT
Three little words.
That’s all they were, but every time
she heard him say them, they had the same impact.
“Marry me, Eve,” came the voice
through the phone.
“Alex, how many times have I heard
that from you?” Eve paused to catch her breath. Though almost eighty-five, her
bright eyes and delicate face made her look much younger.
“I don’t know how much time I’ve got
left, but I want to spend it with you,” Alex said.
Eve sat alone on a couch in the
living room of her rambling Beverly Hills home, trying to comprehend what she
was hearing. She remembered all the times Alex had proposed, always to have
something, usually another woman, get in the way. Hurt at the memory, her
thoughts turned to the current Mrs. Getz, his curvaceous thirty-five-year-old
former secretary. It had only been five years since they were married.
“Where’s Marcie?” Eve asked,
guessing she had probably walked out on him, like the previous three wives. Eve
wondered if she’d kept her sanity, something not one of the others managed
during their stormy marriages to Alex.
“She’s dead.” He paused and then
continued. “I shot the bitch ten minutes ago.”
