The 9th Degree "Alex gets his five minutes of fame!"

Alex is the normal guy with the average life who is in search of his place in society.  Alex worked very hard to change his average persona and achieve the Fifteen Minutes of genuine love and admired Fame.

Alex gets the formula for his fame from Mr. J, a local transient philosopher who warns him of evil men looking to steal the formula. The evil men put pressure on Alex to give up the formula. Alex gets a lucky break because his work colleagues named Stella saves him from their brand of brutality.

Alex and Stella find love, but there is secret, keeping them from finding being together. Stella's best friend and confidant Amanda help her get to the bottom of Alex's dirty little secret. Amanda does her best friend duties graciously while seeing how deep she can stick a knife in her longtime friends back.

The story is a different kind of story written to feel emotions while keeping the plot new and fresh at every turn.  Laughs will come because this is not a conventional book since it is filled with love, sex, fast cars, and snappy lines.
