Kindle sale!
The Opposite of Famous, A Hollywood Memoir by Susan McNabb (my nonfiction name) is on sale! Only 99 cents on Kindle July 4-11 in the US, and on sale in the UK July 13-16.
A shy young woman traveled from North Carolina to Hollywood in 1984 and within a mere few decades struggled and clawed her way up to become the opposite of famous.
Susan McNabb worked on thousands of jobs as a model, actor and extra, as an assistant to casting, wardrobe, makeup and finally, to Elvira, Mistress of the Dark. Single well into her forties, McNabb rubbed elbows and other body parts with scores of interesting men, including Jerry Seinfeld for eight rocky years.
This hilarious collection of essays chronicles her adventures and a life of dogged persistence in a business that shows you the door more often than a path to success. Learn what it takes to work as a fashion model, a commercial actor, a film extra and a butt double. And to build a rich life in which the journey is the real reward.

New Podcast!
Thank you to CK Love for having me as a guest on the Midlife on Fire Podcast! I was thrilled to have a story published in the first Midlife on Fire anthology—a collection of true stories by women who boldly embrace midlife.
My story, “Avoiding Jerry Seinfeld,” is a poignant tale of recovery and recollection as I discover the power of midlife along with the challenges.
I’m so proud to be among the women who share their stories of strength.

Writer of the week!
The Writing Wall is featuring me this week as their writer of the week! My interview goes up on their blog today and on Wednesday, Jan. 27 at 6 pm EST, my podcast interview will air on Anchor, Spotify, Google Podcast, Apple Podcast, and more.
Click here to read the interview. Here’s an excerpt:
“I spend my summers in Tryon, North Carolina when I can. It’s just down the road from Asheville where I grew up. I created my fictional town of Hogback based on Tryon, my favorite little town. I moved to Tryon after living in Los Angeles for 27 years, and that’s really where I became a writer. I wrote for local magazines, had my own weekly newspaper column, published my first book, joined the North Carolina Writers Network, and formed Tryon Writers with other local writers. Having a supportive community is so important to artists, and Tryon was the perfect little nest for me when I was a new writer.”
I hope you’ll check out the interview on The Writing Wall’s blog today and then listen to the podcast on the 27th.
