Ticket to Hollywood

ebook
In Ticket to Hollywood, the second of 11 comic novels based on cab driver Brendan Murphy, a.k.a "Murph," a young woman on the way to a showing of The Great Gatsby leaves her purse behind in Murph's Rocky Mountain Taxi Cab #127—and then goes missing. Murph finds himself confronted by police and loses his job. He becomes entangled with filmmakers and makes his way to Los Angeles in search of the lost woman and in desperate need to restore his reputation and regain normalcy, which in Murph's case means doing as little as possible."Gary Reilly never cared that much about getting his work published. Fortunately for us, his friends did," raves Denver Post reviewer Mike McClanahan who goes on to call the late author "a master wordsmith."The Natanz Directive co-author Mark Graham says, "Gary Reilly is the kind of writer who leaves you smiling at the sheer pleasure of his word choices."Blue Straggler author Kathy Lynn Harris encourages readers to "savor" Reilly's work, "line by line, taking time to enjoy the intelligence, sarcasm and dry wit of the main character, Murph. I found Murph to be laugh-out-loud and consistently funny, yet life-smart and grudgingly loveable."Reilly was born in Arkansas City, Kansas and moved with his family of seven brothers and sisters to Denver. He served two years in the army, including a tour in Vietnam as a military policeman, and later majored in English at Colorado State University with continued studies at the Denver campus of the University of Colorado. After publishing his short story The Biography Man and writing as an AOL comic advice columnist in the 1990s, Reilly turned to novels. His dedication to writing did not include self-promotion. Instead of seeking agents and publishers, he focused on his craft, writing and rewriting, polishing to perfection.
