Book: An Actor's Life - A Short Story by Duncan Whitehead
categories: Book, Acting, Satire, Tragedy, Drama, Death, Oscars, Comedy, Actors, Dark ComedyDuncan Whitehead

This book will appeal to those readers with a dark and twisted sense of humor, who see the irony in life and enjoy a cautionary tale. I was inspired to write An Actor's Life after watching the 2012 Oscar Ceremony - the elite of the acting world being watched by the not so successful thespians of this world. It made me think...what if ... ?
The reader will recognize nods and in jokes to famous actors, but of course the story is fiction - there is no way something as tragic as the events depicted in this tale could ever happen ... could it?
Of all the story's I have written this is my favorite - and indeed the character of Terry Sparkes is a character that I am fond of; he is flawed, like most of us, in fact I would say...well, see for yourself...it is a quick read and I am positive you will enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it!
