APRIL, 2020 REWRITE THE STARS By: Jean Joachim The Plot: Fleeing from the altar three times brands Flint McKay as ―a serial proposer.‖ He swears each proposal is genuine and real. Yet, when it comes time to tie the knot, his heart isn‘t in it. What drives him away from marriage? He has no clue. No, the answer doesn‘t lie with Cassandra Wells, star of stage and screen. Or at least that‘s what Flint tells himself. After sixteen years setting records at the box office, winning Tony Awards, and rising like the brightest star in the sky, stardom no longer appeals to Cassandra Wells. At 32, she wants to trade in her greasepaint for a new life. The first step is escaping the people controlling her. Would old friendships rekindled and secrets revealed allow Cassie to rewrite the stars? An Excerpt Flint cleared his throat. He‘d spent the entire bus ride choosing his words, going over and over what he had to say. But when confronted by her beauty, especially those clear-blue eyes staring into his, his mind went blank. Her radiant smile lit up the dim atmosphere of the restaurant. She took his breath away, as she had when he was a teenager. But they lived worlds apart. He had no idea what her life was like now, except for the few snippets he‘d found online on gossip websites. His gaze dropped to the bright, shiny diamond twinkling in the flickering light of the little candle on their table. He swallowed. Right. Cassandra Wells was engaged to Basil Evans- Something, wildly successful British actor. So, what the hell was she doing here with him? Or what was he, Flint McKay, Mr. Nobody, doing here with a star of Broadway and movies? Reviews Welcome.
