No Ordinary Life by Suzanne Redfearn

Welcome Suzanne Redfearn to Writer's Corner.   We are delighted to share her new book No Ordinary Life.   Here is a little about the book:  

 Exploring celebrity and its consequences, Suzanne Redfearn’s sophomore novel, has it all—romance, Hollywood allure, a secret past, scandal, and drama. Gripping, heartbreaking, and honest, RT Book Reviews proclaimed, “From a deeply emotional place, Redfearn writes with a beautiful rawness…heartfelt dialogue and intense conflict make this story an extraordinary read.”

Inspired by the memoirs and stories of past child actors and their families, Redfearn has crafted an engrossing novel that follows a struggling single mother as she fights to protect her children from the dangerous world of Hollywood.

Thrust into Tinseltown’s world of glitz and glamour after her Shirley Temple-esque daughter Molly is discovered via YouTube, Faye Martin is naïve about the industry and unprepared to protect her from ruthless producers, obsessive fans, and the relentless demands of fame. As Molly’s star continues to rise, what initially seemed like a blessing transforms into a high-stakes game in which one wrong move could destroy Faye’s family forever. Yet there are a few allies to be found in this new world including the handsome director of photography who Faye finds herself inexplicably drawn to. But when circumstances take a deadly turn and Faye is faced with an impossible choice, she must decide if fame and fortune are worth the price of family.
Suzanne Redfearn is the author of Hush Little Baby. She graduated summa cum laude from California Polytechnic University and, prior to becoming an author, was an architect. She is an avid surfer, golfer, skier, and Angels fan. She lives with her husband and children in Southern California. No Ordinary Life is her second novel.

Have you ever wondered how Writer’s Corner came to be?                                        A blogger friend recently asked why did you start your blog?   I once said that I would never blog or write.   I was in a job search at the time and it was not going anywhere.   So I decided that I would work on my writing.   I found a nonpaying writing position with chicklitclub.com .   I started Writer’s Corner initially to practice what I wrote for that site.      The next part of the journey was meeting some great ladies that some of you know well Samantha Janning at Chick Lit Plus , Melissa Amster and Amy Bromberg from ChickLit Central , Laura Kay from A Novel Review , Pia from So Many Books So LittleTime , and last but not least Liz and Lisa fro...

The Importance of Complex Characters By Jacqueline Friedland

Photo by Rebecca Weiss A couple of years ago, there was a debate in the literary world about “likeable” characters.   The question, essentially, boiled down to this: must a character be unpleasant, whether angry or aggressive, selfish, or all gloom-and-doom in order to be taken seriously as a literary character?   When the debate arose, the focus was primarily on female characters— if a female protagonist has too many redeemable qualities as a person, does this detract from her substance as a character in a story?   This query nagged at me and took on a new shape during my writing Trouble the Water , as I watched my two main protagonists undergo journeys of personal growth that left them both decidedly more pleasant than the people they were when the story began.   The question I needed to answer was whether depth and meaning are negated by personal recoveries? My own take, as a reader, is that if I am going to spend hours reading a novel, hanging out with cha...
