Alexander Murphy's Home for Wayward Celebrities (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

When Lucy Faas' agent convinces her to stay at a secluded home near Santa Barbara owned by someone named Alexander Murphy, she comes with the sole intention of rekindling her abandoned music career, hoping that this time she can write songs without having to mine personal trauma for their subject. Lucy never expected that she would be joining a makeshift family of celebrities there hiding from the bored, scandal-hungry populace and the paparazzo's persistent lens; she certainly never expected that she would fall in love, first with the warm, lush landscaped hills of Montecito, and then with her enigmatic host, before learning a secret that could bring this celebrity utopia to an ignominious end. And no one expected lurking Doom would soon be climbing over the wall, camera swinging from his neck.

Incorporating song lyrics, articles, and sections of pure dramatic dialogue into its unconventional seriocomic narrative, and with a cast of celebrity characters alternately inspired or imagined, Alexander Murphy's Home for Wayward Celebrities explores 21st Century celebrity, pop culture, and the creative process with wit and style.

Autorenporträt

Josh lives in the San Francisco Bay Area (which is a catch-all meaning that he doesn't live in any of the cool Bay Area cities), and studied at Westmont College in Santa Barbara (though his degree is not in English).

Josh is a husband (rapturously happy), father (blissfully proud), and teacher (public high school - I know, ouch).

Josh enjoys reading (primarily fiction), writing (obviously), video games (especially shooters and platformers), art (creation and appreciation), film (just appreciation), and travel (9 out of 10 times this means Disneyland).

On his writing, Josh writes literary fiction that doesn't take itself too seriously.
