Hollywood. Los Angeles. Tinsel Town. La La Land. The City of Dreams; groaning with wannabes and a few dazzling stars. How many of us have not dreamt of making it in Hollywood? For anyone brave enough or foolish enough to make the pilgrimmage to LA in search of stardom; keep in mind the very long odds and be sure to bring a box of tissues. Eclipsed is a unique story about an ordinary family. Mum, dad, four boys and a dog, albeit the dad is a somewhat famous UK comedian who dared to dream and chance his arm at becoming a Hollywood screenwriter.By chance and just like in the best stories, his eldest son is talent spotted and after a series of serendipitous events, now finds himself as Marvel's new Spider-Man. Meanwhile, his dad is doing comedy gigs in village halls and primary schools. Written with great affection and warmth by a dad as proud as he is bemused, Eclipsed is a hilarious story and insight into family life.We all want the best for our children and we hope that they might eclipse our own achievements? But in the same business as us and before they even hit their teens? Come on, really?Dominic Holland is an award winning stand-up comedian and broadcaster. He has made countless television appearances as well as four BBC Radio 4 series. He continues to tour the UK and recently took his sixth critically acclaimed one-man show to the Edinburgh Festival. He has written for most national newspapers in the United kingdom and has published four novels. Eclipsed is his first non-fiction book. He has written many screenplays, all of which are at various stages of not being made.He is married to Nikki and they have four boys and a dog. They live in London in a house that is messier than they would like and would probably worth much more if they didn't have four boys and a dog.
