Mini Interview with Andy MarxMe: Do you ever wish you were someone else? Who?Andy: Mark Zuckerberg. I feel as though technology has become the new art form in our society, so right now, it feels like he’s some great artist. Plus, I wish I had gotten a computer science degree.Me: What did you do on your last birthday?Andy: Went surfing in Hawaii. I’ve finally gotten to the point where the less said about my birthday, the better. Riding big waves in Hawaii seemed like the right thing to do.Me: Do you have any tattoos? Where? When did you get it/them? Where are they on your body?Andy: I don’t have any tattoos and don’t quite get the whole tattoo thing, although, I must admit, I like women with tattoos. I think it shows a certain level of bad judgment and impulsiveness, two qualities I find attractive in women.Me: What are you working on right now?Andy: Re-writing another novel I recently finished. As someone once said, “Novels aren’t written, they’re re-written.”

America
has never seen anything to match the innovation, energy, romance, and
excitement of the 20th Century. And the embodiment of all this is Eve Solomon,
a young woman who embraces the vitality of the times with a fervor. Determined
to make a name for herself in the fledgling music business of 1908, she
ultimately becomes wildly successful. But the same steely determination that
takes her to the heights of the entertainment world cannot bring her the one thing
she wants more than anything: the love of her life, Alex Getz, a struggling
Vaudeville comic who becomes one of Hollywood’s biggest stars. As their careers
and lives intersect across the years, there is a price to pay—a royalty for
true love that can never be measured.
EXCERPTThe ring was dazzling.Square cut, about two carats, Eve guessed, as she looked down at the diamond. Set in ornate Victorian silver and resting perfectly on a black velvet cushion, she could picture it on her finger…even imagine the looks of envy on her friends’ faces as she waved it in front of them. There was no doubt she loved the ring, but not the man who had given it to her.When Ben had called her earlier in the day and announced he had a surprise, Eve never suspected he planned to propose. Smiling at him, while a myriad of conflicting thoughts ran through her mind, she could only conjure one clear idea. What am I going to tell him?“Say something,” Ben said, breaking her reverie. “I’ve never known you to be at a loss for words before.”“It’s beautiful.”“Try it on. I want to see if it fits.”Slipping the ring on her finger, Eve thought about how many times she had imagined this moment. But up until two months ago, before she finally decided to stop waiting for Alex, she had always imagined him, not Ben, doing the proposing.“I guess I’m a little surprised,” Eve said.“I’m doing pretty well,” he said. “I moved Ma and my sisters into a bigger apartment. I’ve got a nice place. I figured it was time to start thinking about a family. And I couldn’t think of anybody I’d rather start a family with than you.”
