ABOUT SILVER LAKE
It was on a fully dark February night when I went to the Communist’s Daughter to meet a friend who never showed that my life in movies began.
So begins the third installment in a series of standalone novels about the life and travels of Aubrey McKee. Set in Toronto and Silver Lake, a creative neighbourhood in Los Angeles, the novel chronicles with infectious élan Aubrey’s journey from broken-hearted derelict to B-movie production assistant, comedy writer, and science-ﬁction screenwriter, all the way up to feature ﬁlm director. Along the way, he encounters long-ago childhood friends, manic producers, NHL players turned talk show hosts, Victoria’s Secret models, impulsive movie stars . . . and his own rising destiny.
