A LITERARY ROLLER COASTER THROUGH THE PSYCHE OF A HOLLYWOOD SUPERSTAR.

WARNING: You are about to read a semi-autobiographical novel by an unnamed A-list celebrity recounting his early years in Hollywood—and the dirty, deplorable exploits that catapulted him to fame.

Exploits that would destroy his career if his name were attached to this book. 

The Author's lawyers and agents have strictly forbidden him from releasing the scandalous tell-all, in fear of one of their biggest talents being canceled.

To satisfy their wishes––and to avoid further delay––The Author has chosen to remain anonymous. 

Hence, "The Author."

FOR FANS OF HUNTER S. THOMPSON, BRET EASTON ELLIS, AND BEN LERNER.

When Hollywood blacklisted THE AUTHOR by The Author and forced The Author into silence, Daniel took on the challenge of representing him—risking his reputation to bring this story to the world.
