If she can't live in the 1970s or a galaxy far, far away, Evie Kelley might as well write about them. She scribbles angsty YA sci-fi & stories set in the era of mood rings, platform shoes & the eternal debate of who's cuter, Starsky or Hutch.

Happy Halloween! May all your dreams come true today. Unless they're a nightmare, especially of the Elm Street kind. In that case, I advise lots of caffeine.🕷️👻🎃

The 70s: when the “Body Suit,” a garment suspiciously similar to a toddler's “onesie,” snaps & all, was the hottest (and most uncomfortable) thing in women’s style - and the setting for my new book, MY BICENTENNIAL, a #comingofage novel of the far-out year 1976

books2read.com/MyBicentennial
A magazine ad from 1976 featuring female models wearing a selection Body Suits, a garment similar to a toddler’s “onesie” that snaps at the crotch. Some of the onesies have short sleeves like tee-shirts, others have long sleeves, cuffs, and button down collars, and they're in a variety of colors and patterns, including brown and white horizontal stripes, solid orange and green, and large brown, orange, and peach colored flowers. A square image with a light purple and yellow background featuring a book cover with the title "My Bicentennial: A Mostly True Tale of the Far-Out '70s" above the image of the lower legs and feet of a teenage girl standing on a yellow bathroom scale dotted with purplish daisies. The girl is wearing purple polyester pants and orange platform shoes with spongy white soles. The author's name, Evie Kelley, is inside a silver triangle where the weight numbers would typically be. To the left of the cover is a narrow image of the book's spine with the title and author's name.

🫖Teapot Tuesdays (a day late)! In the "more shameless self-promotion" department, a classic brown Betty pot and the coming of age, 1976-set My Bicentennial are the perfect cuppa-and-a-book combo. Enjoy!

Hey gang! It's the last day to pick up my debut book MY BICENTENNIAL at the special release week price. I had a blast writing this mostly true coming of age tale of prom, platform shoes, and the far-out year 1976. It's DY-NO-MITE!

My Mrs. Potts teapot is grooving to mellow 70s tunes, celebrating the release of my fun, funny, and far-out, 1976-set coming of age tale, MY BICENTENNIAL.

Image is of a shiny yellow teapot with a curved orange handle and an almond-shaped orange knob on the cover sitting atop a stack of books with the title “My Bicentennial” and the author’s name Evie Kelley in orange letters on the spine. The background is a wildly colorful mixture of 1970s style hot pink, red, and orange flowers with big petals.

A rectangular image of a full book cover. On the right hand side, the title My Bicentennial is above the image of the lower legs and feet of a girl standing on a bathroom scale. The girl is wearing purple polyester pants and orange platform shoes with spongy white soles. The author's name, Evie Kelley, is inside a silver triangle on the scale where the weight numbers would typically be. The left side of the image shows a living room with 1970s style furniture, an orange shag rug, a rotary dial telephone on a table, and a plump teenage girl in purple pants and an orange blouse sitting on a couch putting on the platform shows depicted in the other side of the cover. Superimposed over that image is the book's title, My Bicentennial, and subtitle, A Mostly True Tale of the Far-Out '70s, followed by what the book's about text.

This image depicts several bookmarks spread out on a table like a fan. One of the bookmarks shows a book cover with the book's title My Bicentennial superimposed over the image of the lower legs and feet of a girl standing on a bathroom scale. The girl is wearing 1970s style purple polyester pants and orange platform shoes with spongy white soles. The author's name, Evie Kelley, is inside a silver triangle where the scale's weight numbers would typically be. Other bookmarks are beside that one, depicting My Bicentennial's back cover image of the same girl sitting on a sofa putting on a pair of orange platform shoes. She's wearing purple pants and a loose orange top. On a small table behind the sofa is a rotary dial telephone from the 1970s.
