INTERMISSION
Intermission is the story of four former girl group members, who broke up just as they were on the verge of mega-success. The 1990's are now the good old days, and they reluctantly consider reuniting for a twentieth anniversary tour, despite vows never to speak again. Each has their own memory of who did what to whom, and that memory has governed their life decisions. The truth is somewhere in between, and Intermission is the story of how they get to that truth.

Advance Praise for Intermission
If you were a fan of girl music groups from the 1990s, you’ll love this story about the fictional girl group the Diamonds.
Southland Voices
...Intermission is a moving reminder that fame, and fortune never guarantees “happily ever after.”
