Book Description

March 2, 2006

Outsiders call Hollywood Tinsel Town. Insiders call it The City of Fear.

It's 1941 and they're known as Hollywood's Wicked Witches--Hedda Hopper and Louella Parsons--the newspaper gossip gurus who can make or break careers at will. When a rookie reporter, Cinamon Spark, sets out to take over their turf, Hollywood trembles at the prospect of a War of the Witches.

On the surface, Joshua Coleman and his wife Angel Early, two of the most celebrated stars of the day, appear to have a perfect life together, but could their marriage itself be an attempt to protect a secret? Cinamon Spark sniffs scandal and senses her big chance to scoop her opponents.

Dolores Valdez, the sultry South American beauty, believes she can elude the gossip gatherers, but a betrayal by a man of the cloth entraps her in a web. Can she outwit her adversaries and cling to her hard-fought fame...or are the Witches too shrewd to be outsmarted?

Will the stars survive the War of the Witches? Will their secrets be exposed and their reputations shredded in the ensuing bloody battle?

4.0 out of 5 stars 1940s Hollywood Intrigue, August 26, 2006

This review is from: Gossip Column: A Hollywood Novel (Paperback)
As well as being highly entertaining, this novel is quite poignant in parts. The reader feels for the stars as they are relentlessly hunted by the columnists for their gossip value. The story has plenty of intriguing twists and turns and although it is fictional it gives some interesting insights into the power the columnists wielded. A fascinating story set in Hollywood's fantastic golden era.
