Have you heard ...

I don't watch a lot of TV or go to a lot of movies, but celebrity gossip blogs are my guilty pleasure. I may not always known who the stars are being discussed in these blogs, but that doesn't make them less enjoyable.

Christine Sneed's Little Known Facts is like reading a particularly juicy tidbit on BlindGossip.

Little Known Facts is a fictional look at the celebrity lifestyle through Renn Ivins. He's in his 50s, has two kids in their 20s and two ex-wives, but Hollywood still loves him. That's great for his career, but what about his life? Or the lives of those close to him?

This book shows the ups and downs of fame through several characters, including his current (and way younger lover), his children, and a prop master. The behind-the-scenes look at Hollywood shines a light on celebrity life we often don't see. I'm not saying being a rich movie star sounds terrible, but you really do give up a lot to have it all.

Little Known Facts was Christine Sneed's debut novel. I was thrilled to learn she's published more. Even better, they're part of our fiction collection!
