Book Talk & Signing with Clemson, SC, Author Kelly Durham at Fiction Addiction


Clemson, SC, author Kelly Durham has captured Old Hollywood in his entertaining new novel, The Movie Star and Me (paperback, $15.99, on sale 8/9/16), and exposes readers to the history of the movie business in this historical fiction tour de force. Movie magic, labor strikes, HUAC committee hearings, and the business of show business are revealed as a colorful cast of characters fight for their self-interests -- with surprising results. You can meet the author at a book talk and signing on Saturday, August 27th, at Noon at Fiction Addiction.

This event is free and open to the public, but please RSVP to Fiction Addiction. Books may be purchased online, at the store, or by calling Fiction Addiction at 864-675-0540.


The Movie Star and Me follows Frank Russell, a young veteran just returned from the Pacific War. On the ship home from Okinawa, Frank discovers several cans of newsreel film in his duffel bag. Once he lands in the States, Frank returns the film to its owner, Pacific Pictures in Hollywood. Over the course of a couple of visits to the studio, Frank impresses its owner Abe Baum, who offers Frank a job. Frank continues to impress and is quickly promoted, earning the attention of Vera Vance, an up-and-coming starlet. Under Frank's tutelage, the ambitious Vera becomes the studio's top box office attraction. But there are secrets at Pacific Pictures that threaten futures, and Frank gets caught up in a high-stakes battle where people aren't always what they seem to be.
