It's not the way most actors get their first break, but for an unconventional guy like Henry Alford, it made sense to beg dozens of Times Square deli owners to hang his unknown head shot on their walls of fame. Big Kiss chronicles the irritation and exhilaration of trying to make it in the entertainment world as Alford enrolls in the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in England (where he fails to convince the Queen to attend his final performance); auditions for the role of Wilbur the Pig in Charlotte's Web; botches an Amish hoedown dance number in tryouts for a biblical epic; and fails to make the cut in a nude Measure for Measure in the East Village. But there is triumph -- a fortuitous move to Los Angeles (his boyfriend was offered a job there), a gig cohosting VH-1's Rock of Ages, and the role of Screaming Victim #211 in Godzilla. A rollicking romp through a stranger-than-fiction world, Big Kiss perfectly captures the experience of being a struggling performer and delivers first-rate, totally original entertainment on every page.

Searching for a chorus girl’s stag film, Jack LeVine stumbles on a sinister political plot Like all chorus girls, Kerry Lane yearns to get her name on the marquee. After years of high-kicking, she lands a bit part in a Broadway smash hit which should lead to better things. The only thing holding her back is her past: specifically a series of stag films from her days as a struggling wannabe film starlet. When a blackmailer demands a payoff to keep them out of the public eye, Kerry comes to Jack LeVine. Stocky, sweaty, and bald, LeVine is a Jewish private detective who makes a living by being polite. But underneath his smile lies a bulldog. Lured by long legs and a roll of crisp twenties, LeVine takes Kerry’s case. But before he can speak to the blackmailer, the crook turns up dead. As LeVine hunts for Kerry’s pictures, he finds that the heart of this case is even uglier than greed, lust, or murder. It’s politics.
