"it is evident that she belongs in a place so destructive as this. she's masked her desire to relish in life - it is simple to see. he, on the other hand, wants to be in this world so desperately as it is the guilt that steers him on this course of sin and blasphemy. he cannot control his conscience, his urges - especially for her. study the way their faces rest at the sight of the other. they cannot mask their true intentions. funny how desire has the tendency to overthrow any control the subconscious holds over the body." © drizzymay

Story suggestions

Bette Davis is often portrayed as a determined and strong-willed individual who achieved success through sheer force of will. She didn't have the typical "bombshell" look of many of her contemporaries, but she commanded the screen with her talent and intensity. In essence, a compelling description for "Bette Davis: A Life from Beginning to End" would present her not just as an actress, but as a trailblazing, complex, and unyielding woman who left an indelible mark on Hollywood and changed the way women were portrayed on screen.

In 1920s Hollywood, young John Doyle learns the craft of cinematography when a stupid mistake costs him his job. On a tip, he heads to Sloane Hall, the estate of a famous silent screen actress, Pauline Sloane, where he lands a position as chauffeur. Sloane Hall first offers him peace as he enjoys the bounty of the luxurious home, then unrest as its beautiful namesake returns and starts preparing for her first talking picture. Despite his best efforts to resist, John falls hopelessly in love with his employer. His future brightens, however, when she appears to return his affection, leading to plans for a secret wedding-until other awful secrets intrude, leading to heartbreak and separation. A story of obsession and forgiveness, Libby Sternberg's Sloane Hall was inspired by Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre. It is a wonderful companion book to that classic. Some strong language in this book, however. ------ "An original story with complex character development...(Sternberg) knows how to tell a story and she does it well....a refreshing tale." Carolyne Van Der Meer, Bronte Studies journal, September 2011 "Libby Sternberg's intelligent and intriguing Jane Eyre reimagining has achieved two of the most difficult goals in a novel: being a page turner and paying a worthy tribute to Charlotte Brontë's immortal story." -- THE BRONTE BLOG "Sternberg never loses sight of the story she's re-telling, but this novel is definitely her own. Readers have things to figure out and look forward to. Her prose flows beautifully with vivid descriptions of people and places, bringing to life a Los Angeles of times gone by. Fans of historical fiction and Jane Eyre in particular will relish this novel, and readers who enjoy a love story should definitely pick this one up."-KATHERINE PETERSON, FRESH FICTION

It's no secret that Robert Goulet always had feelings for his co-star from Camelot, Julie Andrews. The only problem was that he was dying. He needed to tell her about his feelings for her before it was too late...but how?

It was 1937 when Rosine Mae Wilkes was able to pursue her dream of dancing on a large stage, being broadcasted on television. She had dreamt of this moment since she was born. Rosie Mae thought that Hollywood was all sunsets and rainbows, except, when she meets certain stars of the television she had yearned to be on, she realized what Hollywood was really all about. What sorts of turns could happen when sixteen year old Rosie Mae takes the Hollywood stage in 1937? Note from the Author: This is my first book, but not my first time writing a book. I'm not really sure how long this will be, or how it will go, but if you enjoy history, old Hollywood, and Shirley Temple, this is the book for you!🩷☮️

June Harlow's reputation is on its way down and her husband is not pleased with her behavior. She is given the opportunity to star in a new movie set in Africa and is sent away from crowds, paparazzis, scandals and her husband for a few months. Her co-star Clarke Spencer and the life in Africa makes her see life differently, but the time spent there will not last forever and what will happen when the movie is done and they have to return to reality? This story is freely based on the song Wildest Dreams by the wonderful Taylor Swift and the beautiful music video by Joseph Kahn. I will not take credit for the work written, because everything is inspired by Taylor Swift and Joseph Kahn. But I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I did in making it.
