About this listen
Introducing the treacherous players of The Fame Game. They are three ambitious wannabes, each with an insatiable appetite for fame—all grasping, clawing, and backstabbing their way up the show biz ladder.
Meet Mikki Britten. Smoldering, gorgeous, she's got the heat, the talent, and the drive. A promising model she just needs the right people to open up the right doors...and she'll have the acting career she desperately craves. She'll play dirty to win.
Meet Carla Christaldi. She's the troubled daughter of famed Hollywood director Jonathan Christaldi. All Carla ever wanted was to make it on her own. All she's missing is that magical "spark" that makes people take instant notice. She'll double-cross anyone to win.
Meet Mario DeMarco. The sultry hustler with an idea for a screenplay—a guy who has cruised through life on his looks, whether it's bedding a man for love or for money. All he's ever wanted is the recognition for the talents that lay beyond the bedroom. He'll barter his soul to win.
Take one fateful party...toss in a chance meeting...stir in a startling betrayal...and suddenly the game has begun—a merciless sport where the rules are constantly changing. The reward for one is the ultimate: fame. The penalty for another: obscurity. The price for the last of them: death.
Dripping with sardonic New York attitude, laced with the seductive glamour of Hollywood, Charles Casillo gives listeners a hip, modern-day cautionary tale of just how much our dreams cost us. The Fame Game. Wanna play?
