Mica Daly is a popular on-camera reporter on the daily entertainment news program "Drop Zone" and a fixture on the red carpet circuit. But he's hungry for more-a hot story that he can really sink his teeth into. And there is Chad Martin, little more than a wannabe actor when he and Mica met at one of Roger Keenan's infamous dinner parties. As their relationship grows, so does Chad's career. In fact, Chad's rise to stardom is meteoric. But Joey Chase has ambition too. A paparazzi with a nose for news, he captures a series of provocative pictures of Chad with a mystery man causing rumors to swirl that there is more to the Chad Martin story than meets the media's scrutinizing eye. Lydia Gray, Mica's unscrupulous boss, sees an opportunity and assigns Mica to find out just who the man is in Chad's life. Caught in having to out his own boyfriend to save his career, Mica soon finds that even choosing the high road is bumpy and may just lead down a path Mica is not ready to travel-a road paved with deceit, heartbreak, jeopardy, even death. MARC FREDEN, with a lifelong career in the television industry-in front of the camera and behind the scenes, on iconic movie sets and numerous red carpets-has rubbed elbows with the Hollywood A-list, partied with the up and comers and has literally seen it all. His extensive experience and eyewitness anecdotes have been the stuff of everything from highly rated and entertaining television reports to cocktail party banter. As a distinguished interviewer, producer, director and author, he's chatted with everyone from the notoriously media discreet Barbra Streisand to sharing champagne with HRH Queen Elizabeth II. Now Freden is turning his vast repertoire of entertainment industry inside knowledge into a series of indiscreet tales, as told through the exploits of his alter ego Mica Daly, letting you in on the dark side of the bright lights. Through his character of Mica Daly the author tells what he knows but like Mica, knows more than he tells.

Autorenporträt
Marc Freden is as comfortable in front of the camera as behind the scenes. His career has taken him from established producer to on-camera talent and back again. Freden has also joined the ranks of the 'literati', having published two in his series of "Dark Side of the Bright Lights" novels, NOT TOO COCKSURE and HEIR LINE FRACTURE and the soon-to-be-published SCANDAL EYES and DOIN' TIME exposing the dark secrets from Hollywood and the world of celebrity. Already acclaimed as an author for his autobiographical "REALLY!?!-A Memoir and Other Observations From a Man Who's Lived Life 'Not Quite Famous Enough'" in which his witty and sardonic take on the world around him has garnered praise from the esteemed Publishers Weekly: "Freden's energy, charisma, and honesty are admirable; readers will come away rooting for him to become 'famous enough.'"Freden has also concentrated his considerable skills behind the scenes through his own On The Marc Creative, developing projects and series for varied genres of television and entertainment-for both the U.K. and American markets. Freden has also been tapped as an adjunct professor at the Laureate and SAE international schools, teaching the next generation of creative minds his own unique approach to video/film/television production.Among his many credentials, Freden wrapped a two-year stint as the department head of Special Programming for Reelz for which he oversaw the production of 61 half-hour and hour specials and managed a team of 6 producers and 3 editors. Freden came to Reelz having been a producer for the hit Bravo series "Bethenny Ever After" as well as MTV's "Parental Control", served as writer/ producer for NBC's live broadcast primetime special "Guinness World Records: Top 100 Live!" and was on the red carpet for the 80th annual Oscars. In 2005, Freden traveled the world alongside host George Hamilton for ABC's "Life of Luxury" for which he served in the multiple roles of senior producer, director, and writer. As supervising producer for Lifetime Television's magazine series "Speaking of Women's Health", Freden oversaw the production, writing, and editing and has been part of the production team for its entire three-season run as well as that of its companion series "Lifetime Now". Management is nothing new for Freden who served as the supervising producer on the daily talk series "Woman 2 Woman" for Los Angeles affiliate, KCBS, served as show producer for the first live internet daily game series "The Big Idea" and most notably west coast bureau chief for "GMTV"-the British equivalent of the "Today".Freden's experience has run the gamut from breaking news to live event coverage, from segment producing to long-format documentary programming, and from daily strip series to cable television. Freden has also contributed to the successful electronic press kit marketing of over 20 feature films including: "Rain Man", "Torch Song Trilogy", "Bright Lights Big City", "Biloxi Blues" and "Nightmare on Elm Street IV". As an on-camera talent, American audiences first came to know Freden's adept 'turn-of-phase' writing and quick-witted personality on the syndicated series "Extra". Later, Freden was a reporter for the MGM series "Uncovered" and as a guest commentator for VH1 and A&E's "Biography". But it was during his tenure as bureau chief for Britain's highest-rated morning news magazine program, "GMTV", that Freden broke ground as the very first American correspondent contracted to a news series in British television history.
