Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - To all who came in contact with him, Ted Corcoran's personality had an unique, potent effect: somehow his relaxed demeanor, clear, soothing voice and physical attractiveness made his words resonate as few other's did. His opinion or advice, when asked for, invariably was taken and proved correct. From the time he first was told of his impact on others, he never overtly made capital of it since he didn't give credence to the 'flattery.' He attributed his exceptional personal and business success during his journey, beginning in 1975, from Albany, New York to Columbia College in Manhattan to his first real job in Los Angeles, to his genes - remarkable parents - and luck. A Phi Beta Kappa graduate, his scholarship didn't cover his expenses during and after college in Law School; working nights, he quickly rose from bus-boy to head waiter in a four-star French restaurant, thus able to share the riches of the town with friends and his first significant lover. Gary Cowell, a patron of the restaurant, spotted Ted's special qualities and offered him a high-paying job as his aide in his Los Angeles Public Relation company. Its clientele were corporate execs, studio heads and some celebrities, all of whom wanted little, yet specialized, publicity. Ted's duties were amorphous. 'Just being' with Gary at meetings paid off for his boss, whether with his old friend, Orson Welles, or a new client, a Wyoming oil and gas magnate, Mitch Ramsey, who soon became their most lucrative account. Ted fell in love with, married Moira Connelly and they bore Katie within his first years in L.A., during which time and for decades after he sought and expected his true calling to come to him. PR certainly wasn't his destiny. He also knew he wasn't built for political life, despite varying degrees of pressure, over the years, from Mitch, Warren Buffett, the Clintons, Obama and others who were drawn to his persona. WHAT KATIE SAID to her father on her twenty-seventh birthday shattered him as nothing ever had. Her words cut deeply. Was she right about him Should and could he correct his course.

Neuware - The colorful, morally complex life of Matthew Fleming, an actor of rare talent, from an impoverished but work-filled decade in Off-Broadway theaters through his 'overnight' success on Broadway - then on to international acclaim as a charismatic movie star - is the 'stuff of this gripping novel.Matt is haunted by the belief his leap from obscurity to fame wasn't due to his gift alone but also to the death of a wealthy lover, Andrea Whittaker. He is convinced her drowning, considered accidental, was, in fact, a murder and that he knows the perpetrator. Yet for reasons he's long repressed, he never sought justice for the killer.A lesser anguish gnawing at Matt Fleming's emotional core is his need to express himself on stage before live audiences. To make the break from his domineering manager/partner, David Whittaker -Andrea's widowed husband - who insists he stick with movies, and Laura Fleming, his glamor-struck wife who would never leave Malibu with Harry, their young son, to return to gritty N. Y., he jumps at an offer to make an 'art' film in England. He hopes it will provide the distance he needs in order to decide how he can rid himself of real and imagined demons.The narrative begins and ends in the winter of 2000. A youthful forty, Matt is playing Prince Hal in director Kenneth Branagh's version of Shakespeare's Henry IV. A role he's always aspired to, his London experience is further buoyed by a serious, surreptitious love affair with Beth Winters, the Lady Percy of the film. But he dare not make her privy to the dilemmas which by now are causing him to have terrifying nightmares.Re-enter Charley Sutter. A retired New York Homicide detective turned insurance investigator, he first met Matt ten years before when assessing whether Andrea's death possibly could have been a suicide. Despite their brief encounters since Matt moved to L. A., a strong father-son bond developed between the two men.It is to Sutter he finally confesses his weighty secret, flyi.

But their instantaneous mutual appeal, despite her worldliness and his ingenuousness, soon develops into a potent love affair neither ever had experienced.Set in a post 9/11, pre-Iraq invasion time frame, All Stars Die details the emotional, psychological and sexually dramatic roller-coaster ride these two go on in quest of their common goal: living together happily ever-after in the Big Apple, the cultural citadel they agree is the ideal place.While friends, colleagues and parents influence some of the actions the lovers take to achieve their end, adjustment to the other's careers and life-styles - hers a fast-paced one, his one measured in centuries, light years - persist as formidable challenges.Together for romantic interludes that include a number of inimitably erotic overnights, colorful up- and downtown parties and an event-filled trip to Hawaii, their wit and intelligence aren't enough to sustain them when apart. Frustrations and temptations abound.Yet their secrets, as well as professional goals, which constantly confound their plans, complicate any easy solution to their love-life. They also must question whether it is love or simply lust that's fueling their growing passion.Over a period of a few months, during which Spence meets more of Charlie's friends and several former lovers, her profound secret is accidentally revealed. Yet they still must contend with his own, which remains hidden.Charlie's glamorous assignments, Spence's observatory- and equation-bound lives may seem incompatible, but they don't believe so. They're convinced their love will prevail. But can it What will the Fates, in which both have some belief, decree.
