But questions still abound years after her death.

Police found Chasen’s killer within weeks.

Just as quickly, Dayna realizes there may be more to the story. My main character, Dayna, uncovers the actual triggerman within days. Chasen was tragically killed during a botched carjacking attempt after leaving a premiere party for a movie. Lyla is murdered during an ATM robbery gone wrong after leaving an awards show cocktail party. Chasen was an extremely popular and renowned publicist who directed over 100 Academy Award campaigns. My victim is an awards show publicist named Lyla Davis. I love to rip straight from the headlines.įor Hollywood Ending, I based the investigation on the murder of Ronni Chasen. Much like your favorite Law & Order: SVU episode. One that most authors have gotten and probably have better answers than I do.įor me, I subscribe to the truth is stranger than fiction ideology. One of the questions that always comes up is: Where did you get the idea for the book? Thank you guys for having me back! My second book came out on August 8, which means I’ve been talking about the book a lot-with interviewers, on panels, to random strangers stuck in an elevator with me. Diving deeper into the investigation, Dayna gets a backstage look at gossip blogging, Hollywood royalty, and one of entertainment’s most respected awards shows―all while trying to avoid her own Hollywood ending. Unfortunately, what starts as an open-and-shut case turns out to be anything but. But when celebrity publicist Lyla Davis is killed, the festive mood comes to an abrupt halt.Īpprentice private eye Dayna Anderson thinks she’s uncovered the killer. Tinseltown’s awards season is in full swing, and everyone is obsessed with dressing up, scoring free swag, and getting invited to the biggest awards shows of the year.
