Prologue to HOLLYWOODLAND!

The prologue from my 2025 release HOLLYWOODLAND :)

I can’t wait for you all to read this book, and this prologue is a VERY good taste of what you’re going to find beyond the cover! Weird, mysterious, twisty, and just enough magical realism to keep things interesting. This is a prologue designed to make you ask questions and NEED the answers. Hope you all enjoy. Love you guys!

HOLLYWOODLAND

PROLOGUE

She was strong as anything from red to red and all grace. And even though she was a million little pieces, it seemed like she was a single perfect pressing of something rare and wonderful. As if the crimson of her nails flowed from the swing of her hips, and it had always been that way. As if she had been welded true and stiff by time and cut free at her joints by her own ageless will.

Her young dance partner would’ve understood if she’d been broken by the things she’d been through, but she didn’t look it at all. She looked fine, somehow. Whole. Well, even. She could put on a hundred faces, and the whole world had seen her do as much, but he was sure this one was truly hers, for there wasn’t a camera in sight. And for a moment, he let himself believe he was inspiring her, just as she had inspired him.
