‘Fox Undercover’ — My Horny Roman À Clef
Writer Greg Olear offers a thumb’s up on my Autofiction novella based loosely on my life in ‘newsporn’
As I was trying to figure out how to squeeze a dollar out of fifteen cents to support more starving artists in Joshua Tree, I realized that thousands of new members don’t know about my horny Autofiction book, Fox Undercover — Four Lovers, One Husband and a Really Bad Break Up.
You can check it out here:
It’s $15 bucks for the e-book, but you can name your price. If you’re nickels down, here’s a coupon.
Below is writer Greg Olear’s blurb from last February. He was the first to buy the book. He said he was grateful for the diversion from politics.
He read the ebook on a plane and sent me hilarious text messages in between. He told me he’d write a blurb for me, and for a gal like I, that was a promise of pure gold. Like most of the books and screenplays I write, they exist in the purgatory of cinematic ‘development’ deals, but Fox Undercover is starting to getting warm. Who wouldn’t want to play a middle-aged mother with an affinity for drummers lol.
Greg Olear’s review:
“If Raymond Chandler was a punk rock chick moonlighting as a TV news producer who maintained four passionate love affairs to supplement a stressful work life—and wrote a steamier-than-a-hot-shower roman à clef about the experience—you’d get FOX UNDERCOVER, the delightful new novel by Heidi Siegmund Cuda. I’d say it’s The Big Sleep 2.0, except that, despite the many bedroom scenes, there’s not much sleep happening. Part erotic memoir, part workplace drama, part commentary on media and culture, part coming-of-middle-age story, FOX UNDERCOVER is full-on fun.”

It was such a kind and generous thing to do, and he had no idea that the genesis of the book began when I was living three apartments down from where Raymond Chandler lived when he wrote The Big Sleep - my favorite author and my favorite book.
