The Incredible Transformations of Alice Hollywood (#1): Alice Hollywell, the young spitfire from Hollywood and her best friend, the poor little rich girl Em Martín from nearby Bel Air, CA, are stationed on a remote military base in West Texas in the mid-1970’s.
Worldly Alice "Hollywood" Hollywell is notorious for changing “teams" without notice. Em is shy and seemingly sheltered and has a secret. Despite their differences, their friendship blossoms into something they never imagined. The arrest of their friend Whitey, and rumors about an investigation into his friends and associates creates a frightening environment, complicating everything.
On base, and particularly within their inner circle, the atmosphere is rife with suspicion and fear. Alice and Em realize the military is a very dangerous place for them, and quickly find themselves in the middle of a rabid witch-hunt. Decisions are made with disastrous consequences.
Mackenna on the Edge (#2): This sequel/prequel to The Incredible Transformations of Alice Hollywood, takes place nearly twenty years after a fiery crash changed Em Martín’s life. Now living in Los Angeles, and known as Mackenna, a recent life-altering tragedy has her in an emotional tailspin. Memories and regrets previously buried and ignored have been churned up.
In a desperate effort to stop her downward progression, Mackenna turns to her writing for emotional support; as well as a vehicle for getting to the root cause of her current mental and emotional frailty. While culling through her life for clues, the Southland is rocked by a devastating earthquake, further complicating her difficult self-exploration. Enter Eve, an earthquake refugee and an uncomfortable reminder of a past Mackenna has spent many years trying to ignore—and forget. A delicate dance of avoidance ensues until a devastating secret is exposed, driving Mackenna to the edge of disaster. Will Eve be the last straw, and push Mackenna over the edge? Or will she be the one to save Mackenna from the lower depths?
Mackenna has always been quiet on the quiet side—almost an awkward kind of quiet. She’s a keen observer and not one to talk too much about herself or her life. But she has a secret she’s been keeping for nearly twenty years that’s eating her alive. Since the untimely death of her parents and the subsequent inheritance of unfathomable proportions, Mackenna is sinking and sinking fast. She’s a writer who finds it easier to express her feelings with words, and so she begins to self-explore her downward spiral before it’s too late. Before she does something she can’t undo.
In a departure from her first novel, The Incredible Transformations of Alice Hollywood, Djuna Shellam lets Mackenna Martín share her story and explore her life—how she got to the point she is in the story in the first person narrative. Intermingled with omniscient narrative, Shellam takes us back and forth in time in a seamless fashion to tell the story in a story. Prepare yourself for a stunning twist that will take your breath away.
Prairie Fire (#3): Angry, debilitated and depressed, Em would rather just give up and die after surviving the fiery crash that destroyed her life, but Dot Baverstock has other plans for her. Enter Prairie Vaughn, aka ‘Wonder Woman.’
In this third installment of The Em Suite series, we meet Prairie—the red–headed, female Casanova. She’s the physical therapist who Dot finds to take on the monumental task of bringing a stubborn and unwilling Em back to life.
Secrets, drama, heartbreak and passion offer a similar page turning and satisfying experience readers have found in the first two installments of The Em Suite—The Incredible Transformations of Alice Hollywood and Mackenna on the Edge.
