Excerpt from "Fifi" by Marcus Dino "Mansions and fancy clothes and expensive sports cars," she muttered to herself as she headed toward the coffee shop. "I'll be on top of the world soon, yep it won't be long before they call me 'Fifi Larouche, the Queen of Sheba.' I'll be the hottest thing to hit Hollywood this century and maybe the last one too," She smiled to herself. "After all, anything goes in the double Os." Hollywood can be a cold and unforgiving place to a young neophyte actress in the New Millennium. Fifi Larouche is determined, however, not to let getting rejected from audition after audition stop her from reaching her goal: becoming a rich and famous actress in a very short period of time. Along the way, Fifi must endure all the trials and tribulations of trying to make it in Hollywood, and she meets many colorful characters along the way. Charles, Fifi's cynical father wants her to quit wasting her time in "LaLa land" and come back to her hometown of Des Moines, Iowa to work as a banker. Biff, Fifi's on again, off again boyfriend who is also struggling to find acting work, and Kerry, an actress whom Fifi considers her rival can't stand to see Fifi enjoying any kind of success. The story has many twists and turns with a surprise twist ending that will keep readers on the edge of their seats until the very end. Marcus Dino is a lifelong movie fan, and has been fascinated by the glitz and glamour of Hollywood for as long as he can remember.
