Creative, inspiring, community! 💖

Why Ellie is nostalgic for her ‘90s college years:

👩‍❤️‍👩BFF Brooke hadn’t gone missing
😘Crush Eric shyly smiled in computer lab
🎶Happiness = mixtape + Walkman

Now:
🤑Broke
☠️Divorced
💔Brooke still missing

But Eric is back and no longer shy! Except he’s hiding truth about Brooke…👀

THE FIVE-STAR WEEKEND x D. Alderton GHOSTS

At her 25yr college reunion Ellie wants to recreate youthful magic. She gets her chance when crush Eric shows up, but he’s acting sketchy about the past. Had he been MIA because he’s guilty of the unsolved disappearance of Ellie’s BFF?

“I asked ChatGPT—”
Well I asked the GenX MC of my bookclub novel, MIXTAPES AND OTHER NOSTALGIA, and she said mixtapes are better than playlists, handwritten letters are better than emails, and reading a book is better than asking for answers from a robot who only steals them.

Introducing the mixtape vibes of my contemporary book club fiction with nostalgia, friendship, romance, and mystery. And of course, lots of nineties music.

A mixtape is greater than the sum of its parts. You never know what will happen when you press Play...

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance. Each year, the trans community loses too many lives, especially trans women of color, to hate and violence.

More than ever, we must stand by our trans family and support them, hold space for them, and insist the scapegoating and targeting stop.

Now.

I'm creating a new starter pack for women's fiction writers. Here you go. And LMK if you would like to be added. Not fiction writers who are women. But actually women's fiction.
