Joy King’s debut, Dirty Little Secrets, is loosely based on her own life. She lives in New Jersey with her son. Author’s Website: www.joykingonline.com Author Q&A 1. What do you like to do in your free time? In my free time I LOVE being with my five-year-old son. He is so entertaining and full of life and that brings me nothing but joy. 2. What kind of music do you like to listen to? Why? Right now I have B-Day by Beyonce, Back to Basics by Christina Aguilera and Danity Kane in my CD player. I love all three discs. I’m also a huge hip hop fan with Jay-Z being my absolute favorite, but T.I. is a close runner up…He’s my unofficial baby daddy.(Lol) 3. What’s your all time favorite movie? Why? I actually have three. I love Gone With the Wind because I could so relate to Scarlett O’Hara’s buck wild self. She stayed in some drama with a man. Then Indecent Proposal because Demi Moore was at her best in that movie and Robert Redford was captivating. So . . .

Nothing prepares Tyler Blake for the fast-paced living of New York City. A small-town girl from Georgia, she quickly gets caught up in the glamorous entertainment industry. While pursuing her dream of becoming an actress, Tyler continually gets sidetracked by men who promise to help her and finds herself going from one dysfunctional relationship to another. Just when Tyler finally believes she has found her ideal man, in hip-hop producer Brian McCall, everything begins to go horribly wrong. Trapped in a nightmarish relationship, Tyler is determined not to go down without a fight.

Tyler is off to Hollywood, and all her dreams are finally coming true. She is the new Starlet of Tinsel Town and has a wonderful man by her side. Unfortunately that man is married, and to add more drama, she is once again crossing paths with the controlling T-Roc. Just when Tyler believes her life can’t get any more complicated, she falls in love with Andre Jackson. He has it all–money, fame, movie star looks, and the bad boy reputation that Tyler vowed to stay away from. But more than that Andre has Chantal Morgan, his long term girlfriend and mother of his child, who is determined to go from hooker to housewife. Tyler has finally met her match with this Femme Fatale of all industry chicks.
