NEW BOOKS

"Lake Hollywood"
by Libby Floyd

In her latest novel, author Libby Floyd draws from her own experience as a Hollywood talent agent. Set against the glittering backdrop of Tinseltown, the story explores the emotional cost of chasing success - especially when it comes to love and relationships. At the heart of it is Samantha Connors, a successful Los Angeles talent agent who begins to realize there’s more to life beyond the Hollywood bubble she’s built around herself. But when reality finally hits, it’s not fame or fortune that matters - it’s what’s left standing.

Author Libby Floyd turns her own reality into fiction in her new novel

Like Samantha Connors, the heroine of her new novel Lake Hollywood, Libby left her hometown in South Carolina after graduating college in pursuit of fame and fortune in Hollywood. But instead of stepping into the spotlight, she thrived behind the scenes as a talent agent at Wilhelmina Models & Talent in Beverly Hills. There, Libby learned the inner workings of show business: the glamorous, the gritty, the chaotic, and the truly dazzling. Those early years in the entertainment capital of the world gave her a front-row seat to the industry’s highs and lows before becoming a television personality herself. That rich insider knowledge on both sides of the camera fuels this compelling story.
