She Has Your Eyes
"The continuation of Faking It and Ordinary World."
Ordinary World
Readers who fell in love with Andi Cutrone in Elisa Lorello's first novel, Faking It, can now join Andi on a new journey in which she faces a challenge unlike any she has ever known. Ordinary World begins six years after Lorello's first installment left off: Andi is blissfully married, works as a recently tenured professor at Northampton University, and is a published author. Life is ideal--until her husband's death in a senseless accident shatters Andi's world, plunging her into a gulf of depression and grief. Her family and friends do what that they can to ease her anguish, but no one seems to have the right words to heal Andi's pain. On the advice of a friend, she travels to Italy to escape and unexpectedly runs into the man who once helped her discover her authentic self. As their friendship is renewed, Andi finally begins to heal, daring to hope that someday she will be happy again. Both wrenching and uplifting, Ordinary World is a moving tale of love and loss, joy and sorrow, heartbreak and hope.
All of You
From the bestselling author of Faking It and Friends of Mine: Thirty Years in the Life of a Duran Duran Fan... Former teen pop star Joey "Paisley" Parker has loved her lucrative career as a music producer and engineer. However, industry shifts and changing listener habits threaten her livelihood, and she's faced with walking away before she turns fifty. Yet before she does, she agrees to produce one more album, by the British quintet Taro, who came of age with Joey in the 1980s and saw stardom rivaling that of the Beatles. They want to attempt one more comeback, and they believe Joey is the only producer who can make that happen. Just one problem: Taro bassist Garrett Chandler, identical twi...
Faking it
After breaking off her engagement, thirty-something Andi Cutrone yields New England to her ex and flees home to Long Island. There, she devotes her time to teaching in the writing program at Brooklyn University and over analyzing her past failed relationships. But then she meets Devin, a male escort whose client list seems to include at least half of the accomplished women she knows. He is handsome, charismatic, and absolutely out of her league, but she can't deny he has a certain ... something. And so Andi makes him a proposition: if he will teach her to shed her sexual inhibitions, she will teach him to be a writer. He agrees, and together they embark upon an intense partnership that proves to be every bit as instructive as it is arousing. For in the midst of lessons in rhetorical theory and foreplay, Andi and Devin delve into deeper questions about truth, beauty, and self, stripping away the emotional walls each has built up.--From back cover.
The Writer's Habit
Bestselling novelist Elisa Lorello came not from a literary background but a rhetorical one, where the purpose of writing is achieved by attention to audience, style, and genre. She honed this approach as a longtime academic writing instructor, and now she's imparting it in this book. What this book is: 1. A course in writing, with an emphasis on storytelling and process. 2. A collection of practices and experiences from Elisa's career as a novelist, as well as those of other successful storytellers. With her signature style of wit and enthusiasm, Elisa aims to instruct, motivate, and inspire writers to develop the writing habit through knowledge, skill, and desire.
Adulation
Celebrity screenwriter Danny Masters has the world at his feet. He's dating a movie-star bombshell and his latest screenplay is a shoe-in for an Oscar. But he's empty. With few accomplishments to her credit, longtime bookstore employee Sunny Smith celebrates her fortieth birthday by setting forty goals for herself. Sleeping with her writing idol, Danny Masters, makes the list. At the premiere of Danny's new film, the two have a brief but enchanting exchange outside the theater. And after Danny insults the audience during the post-screening Q&A session, he's thrilled to see Sunny in his autograph line. But as he gently takes her hand, Sunny spits Danny's insults back at him. The next day, to her horror, Sunny discovers a video of her tirade has gone viral. Instead of being angry, Danny is more determined than ever to find Sunny--and apologize. And once their lives intersect again, there'll be no turning back.
The Second First Time
Novelists Jonathan Moss and Sage Merriweather should be a perfect match. They share not only the same publisher but also a deep friendship full of mutual respect and encouragement. But when an ill-fated attempt at taking their relationship to the next level fails in spectacular fashion, it appears as though that once-treasured bond is doomed for good. One year later, however, the duo gets a chance to salvage their relationship when Jonathan invites Sage on a do-over road trip from Phoenix to Tacoma--the same trip that ended before it began the year before. Reeling from the sudden death of her estranged father, Sage finally agrees, and the two embark on a journey that will change their lives forever. As the pair moves ever closer to the truth about their feelings, both Jonathan and Sage have to decide what they really mean to each other...or risk losing it all.
Friends of Mine
"Battling a negative self-image, self-imposed isolation, and troubled relationships, Elisa [Lorello] eventually unlocked the strength to free her and become the teacher and bestselling novelist she was meant to be. And she discovered that her Duran Druan fandom--and the power of music--was the key. ... Much more than a fan letter, ... this is a collection of stories about growing up in 1980s suburbia"--Page 4 of cover.
Friends of Mine DELUXE COLOR Edition
Elisa Lorello's lifelong love affair with Duran Duran began like that of many other fans: staying up late watching MTV, plastering her bedroom walls with glossy posters and magazine pinups, and writing secret stories about someday becoming Mrs. John Taylor. But waiting in the darkness was a life that held more than she bargained for. Battling a negative self-image, self-imposed isolation, and troubled relationships, Elisa eventually unlocked the strength to free her and become the teacher and bestselling novelist she was meant to be. And she discovered that her Duran Duran fandom-and the power of music-was the key. Using her signature blend of humor and heartstring tugging, Elisa transports readers back to a time of synthesizers and shoulder pads, fedoras and Ferris Bueller, leather pants and Live Aid. Much more than a fan letter, Friends of Mine: Thirty Years in the Life of a Duran Duran Fan is a collection of stories about growing up in 1980s suburbia. It's about first loves, first losses, divorce, Generation X, family, and friendship-all set to the soundtrack of the original Fab Five.
Love, Wylie
Fans of the international bestselling Faking It, Ordinary World, and She Has Your Eyes have a new love story to sink their hearts into with this delightful spinoff. Wylie Baker is like almost every other suburban sophomore: she texts with her best friends Roxanne and "Bottsy," is impatient to escape the doldrums of high school, and yearns for a boyfriend. But when Wylie's recently discovered biological father David and his wife, Andi, show up to her '80s-themed Sweet Sixteen costume party, her friends are intrigued by and attracted to the mystery man dressed as a British pop star. Wylie's resistance to dish on him prompts her rival, Christina, to dig up the dirt on her own. A clash with Chri...
