Following the wildly popular award-winning Overlay: A Tale Of One Girl’s Life In 1970s Las Vegas, the author continues her remarkable journey in City of Angeles, revealing the underside of a life lived in 1980s Los Angeles.
This searing, often bizarre tale of Marlayna’s teens and twenties reveals the author’s flight from Las Vegas to the formidable world of self re-invention among the angels and demons populating 1980s Los Angeles. The author unflinchingly begets a self from the unlikeliest beginnings, and now delivers a sequel illustrating both heaven and hell on her continuing flight for self discovery.
“An amazing story of a young girl who comes of age with only snippets of guidance from the adults around her. This is a well written book with explicit prose of Marlayna’s continued journey looking for love and acceptance. She tells this very personal story vividly. There were moments I had to stop reading to absorb the “life shattering” events Marlayna experienced that would have crushed many and other moments in the book that I laughed out loud.” – Eileen Cahill Moalli

How is Writing In Your Genre Different from Others?
My writing is praised for being straight story-telling about difficult situations without delving into pity or victimhood. I cover some fairly difficult life experiences and strive to make them as impersonal as possible.
What Advice Would You Give Aspiring Writers?
