The Imposter
Excerpt

     Two local women, having read this article and believing in its validity, were hoping for an avenue to open up for their talents through a mutual contact, since they were both involved with writing and producing a musical stage play. A phone call to this "successful Hollywood Writer" resulted in a meeting at which time she promised to be their "Contact". With the addition of their artist friend, the imposter led them down a twisted path of well-placed lies and acts of deception. A sequence of promises broken caused one of the local women to investigate the validity of the "Hollywood Writer's" claims of her involvment with major movie and television studios, publication agencies, and local newspapers sources. Following a trail of false claims to their origins, the truth was unfolded one page at a time through phone calls that involved Hollywood Corporations, Agencies, the Yellow Pages, Psychologists, and with the local newspaper byliner who originated the story. This clever imposter had bequiled professionals and novices alike at their own disciplines.
