Synopsis:
Los Feliz Confidential chronicles Novak’s life from immigration to poignant childhood and teen years through her adventurous, sexy, freewheeling twenties.

A rock’n’roll, art loving glamour girl, Novak will have you devouring her wry tales and asking for more.
Excerpt:
I gave the group a sly wink over my shoulder before opening the medieval-looking door, covered with a Screamers poster and a big Keep Out sign. Feeling like a bewitching ringmaster, I led them down the creaky wooden stairs to the infamous Cromwell Avenue basement. A damp, musky scent permeated the stairwell as the sounds of Patti Smith’s “Gloria” now filtered in from above. I chuckled to myself as they followed me through the labyrinth, past a collection of old tapestries, piles of dusty vinyl, rusted armor, and dangling skeleton parts into a dark, dank storage room.
“Is this where you keep the human heads?” asked one guy eagerly. “Are they really real heads?” asked another.
“Yes, they are definitely real human heads,” I replied, now porting a wicked smile. “They’re in these big yellow metal canisters, right over here.” I kept a pair of long, black rubber gloves nearby to slide on, in order to strike a more dramatic pose for extra effect before prying the lids off the sinister-looking cans.
