Fiction / Satire

Publication date ‏: ‎ April 19, 2025

Publisher ‏: ‎ BearManor Media

Hollywood is brutal, especially for an aging TV writer who is not connecting with her audience. Unemployed Charlotte DeBlane finds herself at precisely that moment until she turns her tragic youth into a sparkly tweenaged dramedy.

The legendary Fable Studios snaps up her project as a vehicle for their newest hot starlet, Milary Stanton. Despite a tsunami of production nightmares, the show becomes a smash hit.

When the disappearance of an essential crew member wreaks of corporate foul play, Charlotte finds her dream job turned into a nightmare. Ultimately, the inevitable forces of money, power, and talent collide, forcing Charlotte to choose where her future leads.

K.R. has been working in Hollywood for more than four decades. Some of his early credits include special effects on Mystic Pizza, and Leadman on Breakin 2 is Electric Boogaloo. He also worked on the original Lizzie McGuire and went on to prop master many kids’ shows, from Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide to Wizards of Waverly Place and Lab Rats. K.R. lives in California with his therapist/author wife.

I have been working in Hollywood for over four decades. After graduating from Hampshire College in 1981, I moved to Los Angeles. Some of my early credits include special effects work on Mystic Pizza and serving as a Leadman on Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo. I also worked on the original Lizzie McGuire and went on to serve as a prop master for many kid shows, including Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide, Wizards of Waverly Place, and Lab Rats. I recently moved more into motion pictures, including Promising Young Woman and Lyle, Lyle Crocodile for Sony Pictures before officially retiring in 2024. I live in Camarillo, CA, with my therapist wife, Laura and two Bengal cats-Crouton and Bang Bang.

In addition to all that jazz, I am a licensed pilot since 1989. I served as crew chief on a privately-owned WWII bomber named Feeding Frenzy during the nineties. I have a 3d printing workshop and a large model train layout at my home. I regularly fly RC gliders and FPV aircraft out the back of my house.
