August 11 is Hollywood villain Monroe Owsley's birthday, and as his official biographer, I want to add some new photographs to my Monroe Owley collection! Four photographs are on my list, all from reputable sellers and in great condition. The photographs themselves aren't particularly expensive, but shipping and handling costs get quite pricey.

I have a few funds set aside for Mr. Owsley. I just need a little help, so I'm offering a reverse sale to cover at least one photograph. 

Three books related to Old Hollywood/vintage entertainment are included in this bundle and can be purchased separately.

1) Ace of Cads: The Monroe Owsley Story: This biography offers a deep dive into his life, family, pre-Hollywood career, Hollywood days, and his tragic death at the age of 36. Includes 40 photographs to enjoy.

2) Lucky Charm: This 1920s historical romance novella follows a Deaf Hollywood actor who reunites with his (very hot) childhood best friend to commit some petty crime together.

3) Clara, Darling: This 1930s paranormal historical romance novella follows a forlorn radio actress who meets the ghost of her first love and decides to start truly living again.

Goals:

$10 CAD: One photograph will come home! This photograph is an important one to add to the collection because it features Monroe Owsley in the Broadway play that launched his Hollywood career. PURCHASED! Thank you!

$80 CAD: In addition to the first photo, a second photograph will come home! This picture is a rare close up of Monroe Owsley in Free Love (1930), a film locked away in the Library of Congress and not easily viewable. PURCHASED! Thank you!

$140 CAD: In addition to the previous two photographs, a third photograph will come home! This still is from Mr. Cinderella (1936), one of the rare films where Monroe Owsley doesn't play a villainous character.

$240 CAD: All four photographs on my watchlist come home! See that handsome photograph on the cover of Ace of Cads? Now, imagine that, but with a hat. That's photo #4, a lovely MGM publicity promo image shot by the talented Clarence Sinclair Bull.

Any funds past this already ambitious goal will be put toward releasing my next novel, a 1940s historical m/m romance, coming out either later this year or early 2027. Sign up to my newsletter to stay in the loop about that news! https://chaceverity.com/newsletter.php
