Who am I
Novelist Loraine Despres is a recovering screenwriter, best remembered for writing that icon of pop culture, the "Who Shot J.R.?" episode of DALLAS.
Her first novel, THE SCANDALOUS SUMMER OF SISSY LEBLANC (William Morrow, 2001), became a Literary Guild and Doubleday Book Club selection and a Barnes and Noble Discover Great New Writers Pick as well as a national best seller and engendered its companions, THE BAD BEHAVIOR OF BELLE CANTRELL (Harper Perennial, 2006) & THE SOUTHERN BELLE'S HANDBOOK (William Morrow, 2013).
Loraine lives with her husband, writer-producer Carleton Eastlake, in Beverly Hills where she continues to enjoy bad behavior.
