Winning Is Everything 

Kip, Ron, and Gary-three more unlikely roommates you’d be hard put to find. But this is the Big Apple, where anything was possible, and this was the go-go sixties, when instant stardom happened overnight. Three very different guys, each with his own hunger and fantasy, drawn together by their mutual belief that winning is everything. They rise, they fall-in ways that you could never predict, through turns of fate you could never imagine. Their glories, their loves, their anguish and their triumphs-you’ll feel like you’ve lived their lives, and the lives of the people who love them, in the pages of a novel you will simply not be able to put down.

About the author

This blockbuster New York novel finds roommates Kip, Ron and Gary moving to Manhattan straight after college with dreams of making it big and having it all — at any price, no matter the sacrifice. And why not? This was the Big Apple in the go-go 60’s, where anything was possible and instant stardom could materialize overnight.
Kip was too decent to be so handsome, too kind-hearted for the cutthroat world of acting and far too vulnerable to fall in love. Ron had wit, charm and smarts, plus the sexual prowess to charm his way to the top rung of the show biz ladder. He had everything going for him, in fact, except integrity. Gary was the young man with the shrewdness of a movie mogul and the sensitivity of an artist, to say nothing of a secret need that would either make him or destroy him.
Winning is Everything follows the careers and love affairs of these three very different men as they navigate their way through the worlds of downtown money and uptown society, in a rousing tale of ambition, greed, and the need to succeed.
