Description

The luckless writing team of Philip Cavanaugh and Claire Simmons is lured to Hollywood by shifty pal Gilbert’s offer of a lucrative screenwriting gig. The job proves even more ill-gotten than they’d feared, but then comes the news that the project will be graced by Hollywood royalty – imperious screen legend Diana Malenfant, her son the fantastically sexy (and secretly gay) megastar Stephen Donato, plus Stephen’s hastily acquired wife, the lovely, if clueless, Gina. But with such Star Power on board how long before three newbie scribes are replaced by more seasoned hands?Unhappily – or perhaps, inevitably – the road to glory proves liberally strewn with land mines. Throw in the machinations of Moira Finch (an old adversary of Gilbert’s) and our heroes soon find themselves centre stage in a rapidly escalating fiasco involving call boys, plagiarism, blackmail, a vengeful DA, bloodthirsty scoop hounds and the single most ill-judged sex act a married megastar has ever committed…

About The Author

Joe Keenan is a playwright, lyricist and the author of two previous novels, Blue Heaven and Putting on the Ritz. He wrote and produced Frasier for seven years, receiving five Emmy nominations for Outstanding Writing in a Comedy Series, and is now the Producer of Desperate Housewives. He lives in Los Angeles.

Keenan's command of the written word is as deft as the words he puts in other peoples mouths on TV… Ridiculously, almost criminally, funny… In Keenan's world, everyone is either morally corrupt, incredibly stupid or, in Moira's case, pure evil. And we should thank him for it. Because My Lucky Star may just be the funniest novel of the year… Unmissable.

Other text

This hilarious tale of naïve screenwriter Philip, lured to La-La Land by his amoral pal Gilbert. The manic twists and jibes at modern celebrity culture are a delight.
