“I’ve drawn upon a lot of my experiences in Hollywood, Using a style I would describe as teasing with taste, I explore the decadence and erotic nature of this city and its denizens.”
Eaton's writing is explosive, revealing the raw core of the rites of passage between men and women as they wade through the seasons of the flesh, the intense and naked people, their amusing entanglements of fiery passion, sexuality, desire and love.
