Fallen Star

Written by Allison Morse

Narrated by Christa Lewis

Who killed 1940s screen goddess Gloria Reardon? Her unsolved murder hypnotized the public with its scandalous details and shocked two generations.

Avid feminist and aspiring filmmaker, Kate Bloom discovers long lost footage that holds the key to who murdered her grandmother. Legendary movie star, Gloria Reardon, may be dead, but friends and lovers from the Golden Age of Hollywood’s heyday are still very much on the scene, and it seems everyone has something to gain or lose from Kate’s discovery.

Enlisting the youthful and brash film restorer Dylan Nichols as her closest ally, Kate becomes haunted by Gloria’s glittering past. Caught between glamorous Old Hollywood and the gritty, exciting New Hollywood of the 1970s, Kate is determined to find out what really happened to her grandmother and in the process becomes the killer’s new target.

I grew up in a family of actors in Los Angeles; before the age of five I started acting classes, which I adored. I continued in the family business until my early twenties when my curious spirit led me to consider other interests and professions, like executive coaching and the law. After receiving my B.A. from U.C. Berkeley, I went on to earn a M.A. in Marriage and Family Therapy, a C.E.C from the Center for Executive Coaching and a J.D. from U.C. Hastings College of the Law. Although I loved learning from each of my varied careers I always knew that for me, writing was as essential as breathing. So as I pursued my professional life, I kept to a strict writing schedule, and took classes to hone my craft. I joined the Romance Writers of America and Sisters in Crime. Now I’ve completed two manuscripts including my romance, The Sweetheart Deal. I have been a finalist and ranked first in several RWA chapter writing contests. I live with my wonderful husband in a house in the hills that’s filled with books.
