In FAME ISLAND by J. Lowe, Howard Rosen has a plan. A plan to become famous, and not just for 15 minutes. As winner of the largest lotto jackpot in history, he has many options, but what he decides on--which quickly elevates his mystique to superstar status--is to disappear the moment after picking up his check, and hiring a hacker to erase his identity. The problem is, Howard is discovered by Jude Johnstone, a tabloid writer he must now hire to keep his “secret.” Like a reality show, Jude is given the daunting task of finding Howard’s son, purchasing an island in the Caribbean, and staging a coup against the corrupt governor of a neighboring island so that Howard can emerge as a hero. But can Jude write the story Howard's way, even with unlimited financial backing? Join an offbeat cast of characters in this modern Hollywood adventure where the only cameras rolling are your own, and where, if you fail to beat the opposing tribe, you're shark food!
