About this Event

Join us at Village Well Books & Coffee for a brand new rom-com launch!

Author Noël Stark presents Love, Camera, Action, her debut novel, in conversation with novelist Aimee Bender. Come here about the writing process, the real-life Hollywood stories that inspired the book, and nosh on some yummy snacks!

About the book:

Up-and-coming TV director Cali Daniels knows sex. Well, okay, she knows how to shoot sex scenes, and she’s been hired to direct a highly anticipated steamy episode of the popular series The Demon. This job is her chance at a big-time career in the film and television industry—all she has to do is deliver an unparalleled show using her hard-knocks know-how and ample creativity.

If only the director of photography—effortlessly sexy Jory Blair—would stop shutting her ideas down at every turn. Jory has spent years cultivating his career as an A-list director of photography, but a recent health scare has him rethinking his life and craving the director spot. Now this creative newbie, who he can’t get out of his mind, wants to change the look of his show. Even worse, the friction between them is sparking into blistering chemistry.

As collaborating takes on a whole new meaning, and the show’s producer not-so-subtly suggests that Jory sabotage Cali in order to achieve his own goals, they’ll have to decide if chasing their dream jobs is worth losing the dream of a future together. 

Fans of How to Fake It in Hollywood and Plot Twist will devour this steamy, enemies to lovers, workplace, debut romance.

About the participants:

Love, Camera, Action is Noël Stark’s debut novel. She's worked in almost every position in the film/TV industry, both in front of and behind the camera. Although she’s Canadian, she lives in LA with her young son, desperately missing winter. She likes chocolate milk in her coffee and gets most of her real world intel from her three stepkids.

Aimee Bender is the author of the novels The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake—a New York Times bestseller—and An Invisible Sign of My Own, and of the collections The Girl in the Flammable Skirt and Willful Creatures. Her works have been widely anthologized and have been translated into sixteen languages. She lives in Los Angeles.
