In this exploitive era of media manipulation and celebrity super-stardom, a young Southern singer is elevated to the status of a god, and is unable to deal with the consequence. He is driven to and damned to immortality.
Stella Stevens-glamorous celluloid goddess and Playboy centerfold-shared movie screens with Elvis Presley in Girls! Girls! Girls! And Jerry Lewis in The Nutty Professor early in her career. The blonde bombshell went on to star opposite Glenn Ford, Dean Martin, Bobby Darrin, Jason Robards, and with a dozen more Hollywood hunks. Her crowning glory was the Poseidon Adventure with Gene Hackman and Ernest Borgnine. She has enchanted audiences with her unique blend of innocents, comedy, and sensuality. Now she reveals, through fiction, all the wanton seductiveness of Hollywood's Golden Age.
Razzle Dazzle is a parallel universe to the way we were during the dazzling decades of the 60's, 70's, and 80's. It tells the story of the phenomenal rise and fall of a rock and roll singer whose sensuous mouth and gyrating hips drove women across the nation to a frenzy of worship.
“Movie star
and former Playboy centerfold Stevens appeared with Elvis Presley in Girls!
Girls! Girls!, so perhaps it’s not surprising that her first novel features a
Memphis-born singer named Johnny Gault with a sexy voice and gyrating hips.
But the real focus of the story is Memphis newspaperman Sidney Bastion, who
takes Johnny all the way to Hollywood and then builds a career for himself as
the most powerful agent in the business.” – Library Journal
