Fame Farm, A Novel By Bruce Cook
06.19.20
If you are looking for a page-turner this summer and a book that you can't put down, order Fame Farm, the latest novel by Bruce W Cook, well-known editor, and publisher of The Bay Window in Newport Beach. It’s available on Amazon and other sites in paperback or kindle ($12). It is a Hollywood suspense/sex novel…gritty, raw, and the rest.
This is a story about the cost of fame. The novel takes its cue from real Hollywood experiences weaving the characters and true events, taking the reader into the world of television when the sitcom was king and stars had careers that lasted a generation, not just a fleeting and flashing moment in time. Ultimately this is a novel about the choices people make when faced with the pursuit of money, fame, and glory. In the end, is it fame over justice, money over love? Get the Fame Farm and take a wild and crazy ride to the absolute top of the fame game.
The novel is available at amazon.com.
