Written by J.D. Williamson
STARDUST PLAZA is a thriller about a single mom, who hires herself out as an Internet editor by day, and an escort at night. She's fast approaching middle age, and the excesses of her life are beginning to show. She's addicted to alcohol and other drugs.
Here is the prologue:
She scrutinized the snapshot, taken by a nightclub photographer the previous evening. "Oh gawd, I look awful," she muttered. "Like a boozy old whore." Of course, wasn't that just what she was? The self torment continued. Heck, even in her professional pic, taken two decades earlier, the tell tale signs of substance addiction showed in her glazed over, unfocused eyes. She reached for the bottle of bourbon. Pretty soon the Johns would no longer pay for her services. Then what? The pittance she managed to rake together from her Internet publishing ventures wouldn't keep her in booze for a day.
