Hollywood Hearsay 1: The Missing Baby Star

It’s 1933.
Hard news reporter, Caro James, reveals the secret life of a politician in New York City. Much to her dismay, The New York Sentinel newspaper sets out to teach her a lesson about the rules of journalism. They send her to Los Angeles to write fluff pieces on the film industry.

The contact in Hollywood who is supposed to guide her for the week of punishment, is the handsome and unpredictable movie director, Sugar McLaughlin. Let the bantering begin! Caro would prefer to never see him again but the search for a missing young, beautiful starlet welds them together. Can Caro and Sugar must find June Fowler before she is lost forever to the Port of Missing Girls?

When the one person who knows what happened to June is murdered, Caro and Sugar can’t help but think they’ve reached a dead end. As Sugar knows, every story has an Act III and Caro is in for the ride of her life as they race to find the actress.

Fast-paced dialog set this action-filled mystery/romance apart. An attraction between the main characters will leave you wondering will they or won't they.

Praise for The Missing Baby Star: "A fun new novella by veteran screenwriter Barbara Morgenroth. It's set in 1933 Hollywood and the tone is very "It Happened One Night" and "Bringing up Baby" (two of my favorite movies of all time!)"
"This story is a fine gem. It’s well-written with brilliantly-crafted characters."
"Loved the feel of the 'olden' Hollywood days"
