The Llama Parlour

Love is in the air. Or is it car exhaust fumes?

‘The thing I longed for the most was to fall in love. I wanted an American Romeo, hot off the press, home-delivered. Nothing special, as long as he had pectorals, a PhD, a nice bum, a non-sexist attitude, a top tan, a well-read penis, pale blue eyes, could cook soufflés, arm-wrestle crocodiles and wanted a loving relationship with bone marrow-melting sex. Now, was that too much to ask of a billionaire?’

Kat Kennedy is bored with Australian life. Especially the men. So when she wins a part in a top American sitcom, she jumps at the chance to experience some Hollywood glamour. Even if they do wear sunglasses indoors.

But even her new best friend, the straight-talking Tash, can’t prepare Kat for a town where the men have love-bites on their mirrors and there is no law of gravity (skin sags upwards).

And then there’s the irresistible superstar Pierce Scanlen. But can Kat compete with the other great love of his life – himself?


A note from Kathy

A satire on Hollywood, a place where they say “have a nice day” and then shoot you; a place where they shoot too much footage and not enough directors!

The novel was inspired by my time in Los Angeles writing on a sitcom called “The Facts of Life”, in which George Clooney made his screen debut.

The book was developed as a script but hasn’t made it to the big screen as yet.

Love for the book

The things I get up to when I should be writing….

I’ve added my fave pics of the people who are my human wonder bras – uplifting and supportive and make me look bigger and better. Plus the odd snap of me too. There may be a few faces you recognise – but nobody two-faced, that’s for sure.

One liners, wise cracks and witticisms
