Fiction. Literature. Thriller. Humor (Fiction.) HTML:Meet twenty-two-year-old Cherry Pye (née Cheryl Bunterman), a pop star since she was fourteen�??and about to attempt a comeback from her latest drug-and-alcohol disaster.

Now meet Cherry again: in the person of her �??undercover stunt double,�?� Ann DeLusia. Ann portrays Cherry whenever the singer is too �??indisposed�?��??meaning wasted�??to go out in public. And it is Ann-mistaken-for-Cherry who is kidnapped from a South Beach hotel by obsessed paparazzo Bang Abbott.

Now the challenge for Cherry�??s handlers (über�??stage mother; horndog record producer; nipped, tucked, and Botoxed twin publicists; weed whacker�??wielding bodyguard) is to rescue Ann while keeping her existence a secret from Cherry�??s public�??and from Cherry herself.

The situation is more complicated than they know. Ann has had a bewitching encounter with Skink�??the unhinged former governor of Florida living wild in a mangrove swamp�??and now he�??s heading for Miami to find her . . .

Will Bang Abbott achieve his fantasy of a lucrative private photo session with Cherry Pye? Will Cherry sober up in time to lip-synch her way through her concert tour? Will Skink track down Ann DeLusia before Cherry�??s motley posse does?

All will be revealed in this hilarious spin on life in the celebrity fast lane.
