Rebecca Plotnik, college grad, almost 23 and still single, is stuck. In the middle of the desert. It's l962 in Las Vegas, a small town made up of Mormons and Murder, Inc., where vast stretches of desert surround a handful of glitzy Strip hotels. Becky has reluctantly moved back in with her dysfunctional parents. She longs to leave home to be an actress in New York, but has neither the money nor the confidence. To earn enough for a one-way ticket to Broadway, Becky takes a job at a sleazy casino in Glitter Gulch. Her father, who once worked for and still worships the late Bugsy Siegel, approves. Her mother fears Becky will fall in with the wrong kind of people. She does... Packed with equal amounts of humor and pathos, Neon Dreams captures vintage Vegas through colorful characters and a spunky, sympathetic heroine.

Marilyn grew up in Las Vegas, where Bugsy Siegel bounced her on his knee and gave her silver dollars for her piggy bank. She spent her formative years acting in theater companies in Connecticut and Massachusetts, and went on to write and direct the show TIME PLAY, which won both the National Endowment for the Humanities and the National Endowment for the Arts grant. She also acted in one of the most widely viewed sex education films in the US, DEAR DIARY (much to her children's dismay). She has written extensively for print and theater and maintains a vintage Vegas blog at www.neondreamsthebook.com. Neon Dreams is her first full length novel. She has three grown children and currently lives in Brookline, MA with her husband, Mike.
