Kathryn Jordan is busy writing the sequel, STEAM, which takes up right where HOT WATER left off. Can't say more or it would give away the ending for those who haven't yet read HOT WATER.

Kathryn is also at Two Bunch Palms (the spa resort where HOT WATER took place) every weekend working on a novel based on the true story of silent screen star, Gladys Walton, who was Al Capone's girlfriend. They met on the set of her movie, "The Untameable," in 1923 when Gladys was 20 and Capone was 24, and partied at Two Bunch Palms with such Roaring Twenties stars as Charlie Chaplin, Valentino, and Gloria Swanson.

But GLADYS AND CAPONE is mainly her story, how she became a silent star with Universal Studios at age 16, how she coped with the casting couch atmosphere in Hollywood, how she drove the Stutz Bearcat (given to her by Universal) in her wild flapper years, how Al lavished her with gifts, made her the "Queen of Two Bunch Palms, and much more."
