Too Much Tinsel

In smoky, glamorous 1940s Hollywood-where the neon lights mask shadows darker than any soundstage-private investigator Nicky Forenza carves out her place in a world built for men. Tough, sharp-witted, and unwilling to be pushed aside, she takes the cases no one else dares, digging into the murders, scandals, and studio secrets buried beneath the tinsel of Los Angeles.

But Nicky has an "unusual" partner, Errol-a dragon with a knack for loyalty, gratitude, and the kind of steadfast friendship money can't buy. Far from fire-breathing menace, Errol is equal parts confidant and guardian, the kind of best friend every detective wishes she had when the bullets start flying.

Together, they wade into a city of crooked producers, fading starlets, and back-alley deals-where every glamorous premiere casts a shadow, and every shadow hides a knife.

Too Much Tinsel is a gripping blend of murder mystery, noir atmosphere, and fantastical friendship, perfect for readers who love Hollywood crime stories with a twist of dragon fire. Step into Nicky's heels, have a cup of Joe, and walk the mean streets of L.A. where danger waits behind every klieg light-and just one woman and her dragon are brave enough to face it.
