2000s: Freya Johnson is off to Hollywood!
2000s: Freya Johnson is off to Hollywood!
Freya Johnson is back and life is good!
Having sold her photography studio in the UK, she’s now living the American dream, engaged to Hollywood film star, Nicholas Kaden. Finally her past is behind her and the only way is up – as long as she’s regularly fed takeaway food!
But with a wedding to plan and a whole heap of charity work to organise, she could do without the reappearance of her childhood sweetheart, Jonny Sanders. He’s rich, he’s better looking than she remembers and he reminds her of all those times she’d rather forget.
When a flippant comment made during a hospital visit ends up as headline news, suddenly everything is in turmoil and Freya’s life is in danger!
Could her past be coming back to haunt her?
Who is sending her hate mail?
And where the hell are her ‘Wild Wednesday’ pants?
Although Excess All Areas is set in Hollywood it’s not all razzamatazz though, Freya and Nicholas live in a quaint small-town on the outskirts. Mayleaf is fictional but Whitewood House where Freya decides to settle seems very very real. Far enough away from the chaos that is Hollywood but close enough to feel the buzz
It’s not all buzz however as Freya considers being in Los Angeles as like being in a Hollywood movie, all action, all singing and dancing. Chaos in the sunshine in other words. Nicholas has lived here before heading out of the city so he’s used to the comings and goings and celebrity like feel to their lives there. Imagine what it would be like if whenever you leave the house, you’re pursued by the paps! It might be fun for a while but Freya finds it very hard to adapt.
The sign she’s meant to be here however is Nicholas but the famous sign is of course those 9 white letters on the hillside!
Destination: Hollywood Author/Guide: Mandy Baggot Departure Time: 2000s
