The Actor's Guide to Murder

“Baby, don’t even go there!”

That was Jarrod Jarvis’s catch phrase as the adorable, girl-crazy moppet on the 80s  sitcom, Go To Your Room! It was a great ride until the tabloids caught the popular teen idol kissing another guy at the L.A. gay rodeo. “Gay” and “teen heartthrob” not exactly being career-making words at the time, Jarrod’s star crashed harder than a Kathie Lee Gifford CD.

Flash forward: Now happily living with his cop boyfriend, Charlie, and their dog, Snickers, in the Hollywood Hills, Jarrod’s ready to hit the comeback trail . . . but he never imagines how fame will strike this time. At a reading with his psychic, Jarrod is disturbed to hear that someone close to him will be murdered and even more shocked when it turns out to be his best friend, Willard Ray Hornsby, also a former child star. When Willard is found face down in his own lap pool, the cops call it an accident, but Jarrod’s far from convinced—and he’s ready to play the Sherlock Holmes of West Hollywood to prove his conspiracy theory right . . .Lee Hollis is the pen name for Rick Copp, a veteran Hollywood screenwriter who has written for numerous television series, including The Golden Girls, Wings, Scooby‑Doo, Teen Titans, and Barbershop. He is the co‑writer of The Brady Bunch Movie and also produced, wrote and starred in the hit web series Where the Bears Are, which has over 60 million views on YouTube.
