All That Glitters

by Liza Treviño
All That Glitters

Alexandria Moreno—clever, sexy, ambitious and, at times, self-destructive. She blazes a path from Texas to Los Angeles at the dawn of the 1980s to make her dreams of becoming an A-list Hollywood film director come true. She and her best friend arrive in Los Angeles with little more than hope and the determination to make it big. Alex, a beauty as dark and mysterious as her scarred heart, stands at the bottom of the Hollywood mountain looking up, fighting for her chance to climb to the top. Will her quest to live fast and take no prisoners on her way to success destroy her in the end? All That Glitters is a women’s fiction Jackie Collins-type saga that introduces a strong, driven Latina heroine at the center of a rags-to-riches story spanning a decade of action. Along the way, Alexandria walks the fine line separating ambition and self-destruction and discovers that some sacrifices will cost her everything.

  • "Trevino tells her story with wit, intelligence, and an undercurrent of sadness at the plight women face to make a name for themselves as human beings instead of strictly as women. Trevino may have cloaked her ideas in entertaining vignettes and snappy dialogue, but underneath is a bite that stays with you."


    –Jonathan Marcantoni, author and publisher of La Casita Grande Press.

  • "Liza has a way of taking you with her as she tells this very compelling story. She draws readers in with her as she describes scenes and characters with colorful detail and vivid imagination. This story is a testament to it's title: it really glitters!"


    –Reesha Goral, author, The Servant Boy

  • "With distant echoes of Jacqueline Susann's Valley of the Dolls in the background, Alexandria Moreno, the protagonist of All that Glitters, chases after the allure of Hollywood, all the time substituting pills, booze and sex for genuine happiness. It is only after she reaches success that she has an awakening leading her to realize the emptiness of her aspiration, and finally accepting true love. Kudos to Liza Trevino for giving us this unique image of the New Latina! I urge reading All that Glitters. You won't regret it."


    –Graciela Limon, author

Liza Treviño’s an author whose time as a Hollywood Jane-of-all-trades has given her an insider’s view to a world most only see from the outside, providing the inspiration for her to create a new breed of Latina heroine. In pursuit of adventure and a Ph.D., Liza moved to Los Angeles where she racked up quite a collection of Hollywood jobs, including script girl, producer assistant and production assistant. These experiences, along with her formative years spent on the I-35 highway connecting San Antonio, Austin and Dallas, combine to let her conjure a new kind of Hollywood rags-to-riches story.
