Victoria Rowell (ex-Drucilla Winters) is already a best-selling author. In 2008, her memoir, The Women Who Raised Me, ranked as one of the New York Times' best-selling books. The book chronicles her life growing up in foster care, and looks at the women who played a part in shaping and transforming her life.
Now, Rowell takes on fiction with her latest release, Secrets of a Soap Opera Diva. The novel, released under Simon and Schuster's Atria Paperback banner, offers an intriguing look at the politics of daytime television. It's a true must-read for anyone who has ever devoted any of their time to watching "the stories."
This was to have been her year -- the year the long-time soap vet finally won her Sudsy. But she didn't. In a backstage interview, Jeffries lets loose with her true feelings about her co-star, Emmy Abernathy.
At 384 pages, Secrets of a Soap Opera Diva is a fictitious work, but Rowell leaves fans wondering if there was any real-life inspiration for the characters and stories contained in the book. Readers need not be soap opera fans; the book tilts more towards the mystery side of fiction, so it's a good read for anyone with sleuth tendencies.
Secrets of a Soap Opera Diva is available now for purchase in bookstores and from online retailers.
Fans may also want to check out Rowell's first-ever single, "Stink of Blood with a Pinesol Chasah," available on iTunes.
