Sorry...Your Name's Not on the List

About the Book

Sorry Your Name's Not on the List is the true story of a Southern California Valley girl who found her way to a tabloid writing career after a typical Jewish upbringing--if you count attending a Catholic school and partying on Friday nights as keeping kosher.

From St. Christopher's Prep SChool in Chatsworth California, to the frenzied offices of PRIVATE EYE magazine in LA, "SYNNOTL" is a behind-the-scenes look at the world of tabloid journalism and what it takes to get the THE big story.

From hunting down Roseanne Barr's ex husband Tom Arnold at a Century City drug rehab center to outsmarting Priscilla Presley's Dobermans on a story stake-out, SYNNOTL is a truthful and humorous account of one female reporter's life behind the scenes of a world not too many people are even aware of. From schmoozing with mysterious Saudi sheiks to dining with Arnold Schwarzenegger's gang at night in Santa Monica, SYNNOTL takes readers into the arena of celebrity journalism.
