The Talent Agent (Part 46)
I let her praise wash over me like a warm Pacific wave, though I don't know whether I truly deserved it. I could never have said no to Curtis. To my way of thinking, I hadn't taken that much of a chance on him.. Had the General not been involved, I would have felt the chance I took was nothing at...

The Talent Agent (Part 45)
As soon as I picked her up, I informed Ingrid that I was going to see Curtis tomorrow or at least visit his film, Renegade Love on location. Ingrid perked up when she heard that news. It had been a while since she had set foot on a film location. "That's exciting." Ingrid said. "Perhaps I should go...

The Talent Agent (Part 44)
I almost always disaplyed the soul of discretion in pointing out the flaws in my fellow actors, but after I had shown a hand in helping one or two, word got out that I was a good acting coach. Other actors noticed the improvement in the actors that I had helped and so they sought out my advice. I...

The Talent Agent (Part 43)
After a long string of agonizing draughts escaped from her chest, her breathing finally purred. Locked in each other's arms, we started to breathe as if we shared one breath, as if one flame flickered in both our hearts, and that flame depended upon on our common breath of air to keep breathing....

The Talent Agent (Part 42)
Actually, I was not offended either financially or personally by the defection of Adam and his cohorts. They had secured the jobs for themselves without any intervention on my part and had that production company for Renegade Lover known they were connected to me, they might have balked at giving...

The Talent Agent (Part 41)
I wondered aloud whether I should visit Curtis on the set of Renegade Lover. Elaine looked at me with shock so that I could not resist the urge to bait her. "Do you want to go too?" I asked. She rolled her eyes as if she thought I was crazy. "Why do I have thefeeling that you're asking me to go to...

The Talent Agent (Part 40)
I don't know if I can adequately explain my predeliction for Asian men without the mention of Bruce Lee, who starred in and virtually invented the genre of Asian marital arts or kung fu movies in the late sixties and early seventies, many years after WW II or even most of the events in this...

The Talent Agent (Part 39)
She didn't know the first thing about secretarial skills the day I hired her, but she proved to be a quick study. In college, I had aspired to be a writer, thus taught myself to type so I handed over my excellent typing manual to her from which she taught herself to type even better than I do. She...

The Talent Agent (Part 38)
It was not until that moment that I realized that May Ellen had fallen in love with me, but that was not percisely the truth. It was really only the first time that one of my victimized secretaries expressed her frustration and outrage with me. They fell in love with me because I made them fall in...

The Talent Agent (Part 37)
Elaine had lasted longer than any other of my secretaries. Until she showed up, most of my secretaries would last a month or at most, two. My rapid attrtion of female secretaries brought a struggling young temp agency called Womanpower in business for two years before they finally found their water...
