Perfume Legends 2 Book Preview, 10 Fragrances from the Perfume Legends 2 Book
The book is described as "a sexy and twisted character drama following a hopelessly romantic and equally reckless sapphic novelist on the brink of superstardom and total self-destruction—depending on which way the wind blows and which pill she pops next. Astrid will have to write her own redemption in healing, true love, and success… before she succumbs to the vices that threaten to tear her apart."
The book was originally published in the US on May 21 by Simon & Schuster. Christine Vachon and Pamela Koffler will produce under their Killer Films banner.
Dorn’s other works include “Exalted,” “Bad Lawyer,” and “Vagablonde.” Her next novel, “American Spirits,” is forthcoming from Simon & Schuster. She is represented by Gersh and Sanford J. Greenburger Associates for publication.
