Goodreads asked Ruby Fox:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Ruby Fox I started writing Dead Famous because one of the best jobs I’ve ever had was writing celebrity news for a gossip magazine, and everybody says—write what you know. My obsession with Hollywood goes back to the early 80s, to Sunday afternoons with my Nan, watching old movies on TV. I spent years dreaming about being a movie star, a pop star, a literary star, any kind of star really. Well… almost any kind. Whether it’s film and television, music, or writing—the world of artists makes sense to me. So that’s where a lot of my stories live.
