BIRDS OF PARADISE Hollywood in the 1980s... The neon and synthesizers hearken to days of no rules, Bartles and Jaymes wine coolers, and breaking curfew.

BIRDS OF PARADISE Hollywood in the 1980s... The neon and synthesizers hearken to days of no rules, Bartles and Jaymes wine coolers, and breaking curfew. It was a time of ultimate decadence and excess. However, it was also a time of immeasurable loss. Seventeen-year-old Tate is no stranger to loss. The rules of her father's house are suffocating, her sister is pure evil, and the only place she feels like she can be herself is in the cemetery, sitting beside her mom's grave, and talking over a picnic. But when she meets the devastatingly beautiful and intriguing Simonne, it not only challenges everything Tate believes about people, it tests the very limits of her love and desire. Suspicious of Simonne, Tate's lifelong best friend, Taylor, grows weary of watching the rollercoaster relationship and tries repeatedly to reason with her, but his focus shifts suddenly when he discovers he has a life-threatening disease. Over the years, Tate must navigate the many phases of her love affair with Simonne, while learning how to be a better friend to Taylor in his time of ultimate need. Gradually, she discovers that life isn't love or loss, but a heartbreakingly beautiful mixture of both.

Autorenporträt
Born in Hollywood and raised by an Emmy Award winner, Delane spent her youth surrounded by make believe and chaos. After earning her degree, she strapped a battered typewriter to her back and traded in all that stardust in search of some real-life adventures. She got her first publishing contract at the age of 19 and has written short stories featured in anthologies, specialized fiction, and novels ever since. Having been clicking at a keyboard for most of her life, she's published both independently and with major publishing houses. Her writing has been used in national magazines and small journals. She’s had her work featured on many websites in a variety of fiction and nonfiction categories, and has earned several award nominations, including a Hugo and Best Romance of the Year. In 2021, she won the prestigious B.R.A.G. Award. While her writing crosses genres between literary fiction and romance, dark humor and even suspense, it proudly showcases a cast of diversity in characters' orientations and abilities-and has one central theme: her unwavering love of Hollywood.
