Rose McGowan is BRAVE

McGOWAN_BRAVE_Front_Lo_3D
Actress Rose McGowan is using her voice to shed light on the darkest shadows of the entertainment industry. This book overcomes a single person's story, and instead, forwards a movement.

In a strange world where she was continually on display, stardom soon became a personal nightmare of constant exposure and sexualization. Rose escaped into the world of her mind, something she had done as a child, and into high-profile relationships. Every detail of her personal life became public, and the realities of an inherently sexist industry emerged with every script, role, public appearance, and magazine cover. The Hollywood machine packaged her as a sexualized bombshell, hijacking her image and identity and marketing them for profit. 

BRAVE is her raw, poignant, motivating memoir—a journey to true courage by a millennial icon, fearless activist, and unstoppable force for change who is determined to expose the truth about the entertainment industry, dismantle the concept of fame, shine a light on a multibillion-dollar business built on systemic misogyny, and empower people everywhere to wake up and be BRAVE.

“My life, as you will read, has taken me from one cult to another. BRAVE is the story of how I fought my way out of these cults and reclaimed my life. I want to help you do the same.”—Rose McGowan

We are so excited for this powerful memoir that takes you behind the movement. Check out Rose's interview with Vanity Fair here.

What I’m Reading – Peter Robinson’s NO CURE FOR LOVE

9780062405104_91d26Peter Robinson’s Inspector Banks novels (22 in all!) have cemented his status as a master of mysteries and thrillers.  The upcoming release of his standalone No Cure for Love brings the fast-paced whirlwind of twists and turns that’s garnered him legions of fans but, for the first time, takes us on an America-set mystery.  And not just any America, but the topsy-turvy glitz, glamour, and grit of Hollywood.

The story follows rising star Sarah Broughton, a Brit still uncomfortable with the oddball culture of show business.  Sarah has a past that runs far deeper than the name she left in England, Sally Bolton.  Someone is sending her increasingly threatening letters…letters that know too much. When obsession turns to murder, Sarah must rely on Detective Arvo Hughes—a specialist in Hollywood stalkers—as the two discover just how hard it is to outrun the past and to keep a secret buried.

I took the opportunity to read No Cure for Love over the holiday weekend and was quickly absorbed. I’m not the only one—#1 New York Times bestselling author Michael Connelly provides a fantastic forward and some not-so-subtle praise: “Terrific…that rare book that entertains, enthralls, and also teaches. No Cure for Love has something to say about right now.” The egalley is available on Edelweiss, so be sure to check it out here.
