ShutterGirl Book Trailer:
ONE movie star on the cusp of greatness
ONE broken girl who touched him
TEN years to forget her
A MILLION stories in Hollywood
I
am not hurt.
I don’t need a second chance with him, or a life I thought I had.
While he was out forgetting me to become a movie star, I was building a career out of nothing. A career as a paparazzi, but a career. For a foster kid who bounced around every home in Los Angeles, that wasn’t easy.
This camera is all I have.
He’s nothing to me. Every time I take his picture and sell it, I remind myself that I did it all without him or his approval, his cinnamon smell or his clear green eyes. He lights up the screen like a celestial body, but he’s nothing but a paycheck to me.
He can throw my camera off a balcony, and nothing has to change. We can stay king and queen of the same city, and different worlds.

Except
this is Hollywood, and here, anything can happen.
I
stroked his hair, waist deep in peace, all worry gone for the moment, and
floating in no more than an ocean of gratitude. I must have been more
vulnerable than I realized, or he’d reopened some wound with his kindness,
because though my sweet reverie stayed, as the minutes passed, a layer of need
fitted itself on top of it.
I
needed to tell him, if not the details, the outlines of who I was.
“I
want you to know,” I whispered, starting somewhere small, then everything I
didn’t want to say spilled out. “I have stuff. I’ve never been to jail, but you
know, it’s stuff, and it’s ugly, and it scares me. Because, I mean, you’re so
perfect, and I’m… I’m just a mess. I’m not whole. I’m a bunch of pieces of a
person I cobbled together.” My eyes got wet when I thought of the comparisons
between us and that picture in my silverware drawer. “So if you have to move on
when you realize that, I’ll understand. You have an image, and if anyone
understands protecting a career, it’s me. I mean, I’ll be mad, don’t get that
wrong, but also.” I swallowed and blinked, shifting my head so he wouldn’t feel
the tear on his forehead. “I won’t blame you.”
I
waited for an answer. Anything. A change in position or a word on any subject.
The weather. Sports. Something. But all he did was breathe.

GIVEAWAY & NOTE FROM AUTHOR
I am so happy with the response to Shuttergirl, and
I cannot wait to send Michael and Laine out into the world, because who doesn’t
swoon over a second chance at love?
It’s a new genre for me, and I’m exploding with excitement,
so I’ve dropped some fantastic reasons for readers to get the book right away.
TREAT YOURSELF LIKE A MOVIE STAR!
$500 Spa Gift Card
If you could get an hour, or ten away from the daily
grind of paparazzi and interviews (or the job and kids), what would you do?
Get a foot rub/slash/pedicure? A
massage? Maybe something called a
Sleep Treatment that right now sounds
better than sex?
Maybe you’d bring a friend or two, or maybe you’d
just get a manipedi when you wanted one. Because the life of a megastar ain’t
for the weak-willed or lazy, and running from paparazzi can really wear down a
girl’s nails.
Woodhouse Spas are no joke. They’re all over the
country and they’re….sigh. Fabulous. But if you don’t live near one, we can do
Burke Williams, Halcyon Days or Red Door.
HOW TO ENTER
Take the fun SHUTTERGIRL
