Produktbeschreibung

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-winning sound engineer, Delane spent her youth watching make believe happen in front of her eyes and chaos ensue all around her. Whether deep in the trenches of the Writers' Room or on one of the stages at ABC Prospect Studios, she played with and learned from the many spectacular artists she had the incredible fortune to be surrounded by.

After earning her degree, she strapped a battered typewriter to her back and traded in all that stardust and pretend in search of some real-life adventure.

She got her first publishing contract at the age of 19 and has written and published novels, short stories featured in anthologies, and specialized novel-length fiction ever since. Having been clicking at a keyboard for most of her life, her novels have been published with major publishing houses, as well as independently. Her writing has been used in national magazines and smaller journals. She's had her work featured on several websites in a variety of fiction and nonfiction categories.

While Delane's writing is the only thing left of the flashy Hollywood life she once lived, she's learned how to turn her ironic curse of loving absolutely everything and nothing at all into characters that live ferociously on every page, and using the hazy clouds of sleep deprivation to create worlds so inviting one would eagerly disappear into them; odd skills, but they've earned her several award nominations, including a Hugo and Best Romance of the Year. And although she doesn't have one of those Golden Statues like most of the adults she knew while growing up, the owners of them provided an infinite well of knowledge, ideas, character quirks and flaws, jokes, memories, and smiles... and that is priceless.
