Quote:
"You and I are now time itself, not just the city,
The whole world is taking part in our decision.
We are more than just the two of us now.
We embody something.
We are sitting in the People's Square
And it's full of people with the same dream as ours.
We define the game for all.
The whole world is taking part in our decision.
We are more than just the two of us now.
We embody something.
We are sitting in the People's Square
And it's full of people with the same dream as ours.
We define the game for all.
I'm ready."

Blurb:
From
the outside, starlet Olivia Hammond has it all—fame, fortune and a Hollywood
hunk boyfriend. No one suspects her rising self-doubts and anxieties. In order
to escape the realities of her chaotic world, she dives into an Oscar quality
role of a young woman trapped in the horrors of postwar Berlin. It is here that
Olivia feels most comfortable.
Her real and fictional lives collide when the director casts Dimitri Malakhov, a Russian porn star, as her costar. She immediately fears her image and reputation will be tainted. Personally and professionally, she must face what frightens her most—exposing herself, her fears, her imperfections and her desires to the world.
The experience of filming the movie with Dimitri and being on location in Berlin destroys her prejudices and judgments. It shatters all her illusions and perceptions. When liberated from her own confines, her life and love truly shine.

Manchmal das Herz muss zerstört werden, um zu heilen.
Sometimes the heart needs to be broken in
order to heal.
Poem:
So many
pictures, so many scenes
Still
can’t understand what it means
I look at
my face everyday I arise
And
proceed to adorn my daily disguise
The soul
that once shined
No longer
appears
It’s lost
somewhere
In a world
full of tears.
I’ve
wandered around place to place
Trapped inside
my invisible space
How do we
connect with another
When it’s
our own heart we smother
The soul
that once shined
Desires to
be seen
Wanting to
wade through
The
clutter in between.
It only
takes a moment for all to shatter
Picking up
the pieces doesn’t really matter
The worst
has come to fate
No one
else can ever relate
Our wounds
exposed like an open sore
For all
others’ salt to pour
Author Bio
Inspiration comes from
watching way too much Monty Python. The abstract and the absurd way of looking
at normal life, not only offers humor, but questions many problems in society
in a light-hearted manner. If we can laugh at ourselves, if we can laugh at
life, problems do not seem quite so difficult to tackle. In fact,
problems are not as complicated as they seem; everything is very simple. If you
can laugh at it, write about it and read about it, most likely one would think
about it.Author Jennifer Ott has written several satire fiction, Wild Horses, The Tourist and two non-fiction books Love and Handicapping and Ooh Baby Compound Me! She recently published, Serenidipidus and Edge of Civilization. She also is the host of the SuperJenius Internet Radio show on Artist First radio Network.
Jennifer Ott lives in Long Beach, California, enjoys the sun, the sand, the surf and lots of Mexican food.
