About the Book:

Perhaps more of a prequel than a sequel to Marcus Dino's electrifying Hollywood novel, Fifi Anything Goes in the Doubles Os (Iuniverse 2003, Airleaf 2005) Diary of a Mad Gen Yer focuses on the hilarious adventures of 21st century actress/heroine Fifi Larouche; her silly poems, her silly stories, her silly blogs, during her days working as a waitress while pursuing her dreams of Hollywood fame.

Gen Yer' also introduces colorful new characters such as Alocki, the alien from the planet Zatoris and 'the smartest person Fifi ever met,' Flifi, Fifi´s' 'fairy alter ego' from the 'Alternate Earth' who gives people advice but has a little stinger on her tail and stings people who do wrong (they feel itchy) and throws pixie dust on people who do right, and dick, an evolutionary scientist who enjoys arguing religion with Fifi and is a 'proud atheist.'

Of course many of the major characters in Fifi such as Biff, Fifi´s bohemian actor/software engineer boyfriend and Charles, Fifi's domineering college professor father who thinks Fifi is 'wasting her time in 'ala land 'and needs to come back to her hometown of Des Moines Iowa to work as a banker, are back in 'Gen Yer.'

While Fifi tended at times to focus on Fifi´s serious side, 'Gen Yer' almost exclusively focuses on Fifi´s comical adventures and her 'silly thoughts' and will keep readers laughing from beginning to end.
