Description
Can a sexy Hispanic action movie star find
himself in the BWCA of upper Minnesota ?
Will the local woman he grows to love believe someone who “lies for a living”?
When the famous
action movie star Raul Roderick needs to “clean-up” for a major role that even
he doubts he can deliver, the director sends him up to a resort owned by his
grandmother in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area of upper Minnesota, to learn to
commune with nature. His guide is
Veronica, the director's cousin, a tall, athletic woman who has the relaxed,
sensible nature of someone who knows herself well.
Raul hasn't been
this far from his reliable drug-dealers for a very long time, and dealing with
real-life is something he's never been very good at. His initial clumsy attempt
to seduce her makes her laugh...so he calls her fat. Is there any hope that
their relationship will progress beyond its rocky start? And can Raul overcome
his partying nature to discover what is really important in life?

Excerpt #1--G rated--The set-up.
Jared Miller, the famous yet reclusive
director, is on the phone asking for a favor from his
Grandmother who owns a resort in northeasternMinnesota .
Grandmother who owns a resort in northeastern
"What
is it this time?"
Jared
cleared his throat audibly.
"I'm
afraid it's bigger this time. I need you
to let me send you a guest who will be there until I can get the crew up to
start filming my next movie."
"And
how long with that be?" Veronica grinned at Gram-Marie while the older
woman rolled her eyes and shrugged.
"I
don't know...it depends on a lot of things.
Maybe a month? Six weeks tops.
I've got to get a whole lot of folks packed and up there, so it's gonna take
some time."
"And
who is it you are expecting us to tolerate for an unspecified amount of
time?"
"Ronnie! Would I send you someone you'd only
tolerate?"
"Hell
yeah! You'd send us Satan to baby-sit,
if your next movie depended on it."
"Funny
you should say that, cuz. He's only the
biggest, baddest star in the business right now."
"Who
is it?"
"You've
heard of Raul Roderick, right?"
Marie
snorted.
"Who?"
Jared
chuckled, "The Gamer King? Avenge
Tastes Sweet? MOFO-Town?"
"No,"
Marie said, while Veronica smiled at her, all the while filling the pie crusts
with the flavors of the day.
"Well
then, how about his romantic movies? Make
Mine Latino? Or Three's a Crowd,
But I Like Crowds?"
Veronica
giggled. "Jared, you should see
Gram-Marie's face! She looks like she
just sucked a lemon!"
"What
on earth are you people thinking of with these titles? Or these so-called plots? Why doesn't anyone make the kinds of movies I
like to watch anymore?"
"Because
you're too old for them to consider you a target market?"
Veronica
whooped as she ducked away from the rolling pin tossed at her by her
grandmother.
"Old,
my ass! I just expect plots and they're
too damn busy putting big, fake titties and young men without shirts into
everything!"
"So
you have heard of Raul then?" Jared chuckled.
Veronica
explained, "Gram-Marie, he's the kind of actor who is very good at looking
good in his movies, and he's always shirtless at some point. But he's kind of limited to playing the same
kinds of men over and over again...not much range, and even less talent."
Jared
burst in excitedly.
"Ah,
but that's where you're so wrong, Ronnie!
I only agreed to let him read for the part as a favor to his agent. But he blew me away! He's so right that he's the only actor I
seriously considered for starring in my big epic film about the Boundary Waters
area! You know, the one I always
promised Grampa I'd make about his great grandfather, Hank Maynard?"
"If
he's that good, why do you need to send him up here early?"
Marie
nodded at Veronica's question, asked as she was busy putting the pies into the
oven.
Jared
cleared his throat again.
"Well,
you see, there's the little problem of his drinking...and his drugs...and his
whoring. He's a real party-animal and
right now the only reason he's not in jail is that I went to court with him and
basically told the judge I'd answer for his behavior until his probation is
over."
"Probation
for what?"
Marie's
voice was steely. Everyone knew that her
father had been a Canadian Mounty, and she was gung-ho on supporting law
enforcement officials.
"He...uh...can't
be allowed to drive for six months. They
took his license away after he ran into a parked squad car because he thought
he hit the brake pedal, but it was the gas pedal. Then when they got him out of the car, he was
so blasted he didn't remember his real name.
All he told them was that he was the famous actor Raul Roderick and that
he'd get them supporting roles in his next picture if they would give him a
ride to the meeting with me that he was already two hours late for."
"Obviously
the officers weren't impressed, eh?"
Marie sounded smug.
"No. They took him down to the station and booked
him. I was the person he called for his
one call...not his lawyer. So I got him
released to my custody, but I've been having a hell of a time keeping him out
from behind the wheel of a car, or out of bars and nightclubs. I'm afraid he's going to kill himself before
I can get the performance of a lifetime out of him, that I'm convinced he has in
him. So I really need your help..."
There
was silence while Marie and Veronica communicated with each other
non-verbally.
"Well?" Jared sounded anxious.
Marie
nodded at Veronica, who spoke.
"We
can't give you an answer now. We have to
talk this over with the rest of the family.
All of us have to agree to this, since we are all going to have to deal
with this spoiled brat you want us to baby-sit for you."
