Moonlight Drive by A.R. Hadley
Hosted by Itsy Bitsy Book Bits
Genre – Literary Fiction
Page Count – 362
A captivating novel about the rocky beginnings of a girl on her way to music stardom and the wild 1980s all-male rock group she follows – through struggles and addiction and love. An epic tale showcasing ways in which the human spirit triumphs and how dreams never truly die!
“I hadn’t read more than a few pages and was hooked, like a junkie craving her next fix. Moonlight Drive is a heartbreaking story of first loves, making it in the music industry, the lure of addiction, betrayal, pain, jealousy, groupies, following your dreams, and so much more. Get ready, readers, for Moonlight Drive is your next addiction.” – N.N. Heaven
The magazines didn’t do him justice.
Not long after running away from home, Daniella Isabella joins Moonlight Drive’s 1985 Live and Wired tour, hoping her long-lost friend, Nick, will remember her.
He’s finally made it – just like he promised. He’s the bassist for one of the biggest rock bands in the world.
Only, he’s reinvented himself and doesn’t recognize his childhood sweetheart. Nicki Quick has been seduced by the decadent lifestyle of the music scene of the eighties, lost in a haze of sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ roll. And to Nicki, Dani is just another chick in a long line of groupies.
He soon finds she isn’t like the other girls, though. Music runs through her veins – it’s part of her soul. She’s a songwriter. A dreamer. A girl determined to make it in a boys’ world.
This is the story of two musicians. A boy and a girl. A man and a woman. Two people who learn that being lost is sometimes the same as being found.
Author Note: Moonlight Drive is a 57,000-word novel. More literary fiction, less romance. The characters and their intense and realistic actions drive the plot. Contains content that may trigger some readers.

A.R. Hadley writes imperfectly perfect sentences by the light of her iPhone.

She loves the ocean.

Chocolate.

Her children.

And Cary Grant.

She annoys those darling little children by quoting lines from Back to the Future, but despite her knowledge of eighties and nineties pop culture, she was actually meant to live alongside the Lost Generation after the Great War and write a mediocre novel while drinking absinthe with Hemingway. Instead, find her sipping unsweet tea near a beautiful garden as she weaves fictional tales of love and connection amid reality.

A woman grieving the loss of a loved one. A man carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders. Does one fateful summer really have the power to change everything?

Rising photographer Annie Baxter is ready for a fresh start when she makes her way from New York to the sparkly sands of South Beach. A recent college graduate, she has no plans other than to distract herself with sun and surf, pictures and friends.
 Then a man named Cal Prescott steps in front of her lens…
 When he first spots Annie on the stairs of his best friends’ home, he’s enamored.
 It doesn’t matter if they only have the summer. Or if twenty years separate them. They soon find that nothing — not temporary circumstances, panic attacks, or an age gap ­— can keep them from starting what their hearts desire. 

Follow Annie and Cal on a journey of love, loss, and what it means to give up defining themselves. 

Author Note: Previously published in 2018 as The South Beach Connection Trilogy: Landslide, Wanderlust, and Continuum — Where the Ocean Meets the Sky combines those three books into one, as the author originally intended. Although heavily edited, combined, and relaunched since their initial release, the overall story remains. Literary fiction meets contemporary romance — a love made in the stars. A connection not to be forgotten.

200,000-words — over 800 pages. Part of the two-book series: The Ocean Series. Either book may be read first. The reader must choose. This is the main title. Contains graphic content that may trigger some readers.

He’s a surfer. A loner. A man on a quest to rid himself of pesky feelings.

After his grandfather passes away, Cal Prescott begins to see life differently.

Money wants his attention, women beckon, and the pursuit of success becomes a cycle he can’t seem to break.

Follow Cal from age sixteen to forty-five, from 1985 to 2014, from the tangerine fields of Ojai to the neon streets of Miami Beach — from being ready to take on the world to hitting the bottom of the sea.

Cal spends half his life waiting for the perfect wave to break over the horizon, looking for comfort, searching for peace — and he’ll chase every last drop of water … until he finds release.

Author Note: Part of the two-book series: The Ocean Series. The Ocean in His Veins may be read as a companion to the main title Where the Ocean Meets the Sky or as a standalone. Please be advised that reading this story first may change the way Cal is initially perceived in the latter book. This can be good or bad, depending on the reader.

Literary fiction, not romance. The characters and their intense and realistic actions drive the plot. 76,000-words. The Ocean in His Veins details Cal’s life from age sixteen to forty-five. The story ends the night he meets Annie in 2014. Contains graphic content that may trigger some readers.

Limbo by Laura Koerber
Genre – spirituality fantasy literary fiction
Page Count – 156 pages

Alyse died and she isn’t happy about it. She finds herself stuck in a ghost town occupied by dead souls with whom she has nothing in common. Her reaction to her loneliness and isolation is to throw a neighborhood block party for her little outpost in the afterlife. In the course of her party-planning, Alyse experiences a series of revelations about herself and other people–lessons she had failed to learn while alive–which leave her happier and wiser at the end of the story.
From Booklife (Publisher’s Weekly):
“Koerber weaves a slow, captivating exploration of life, death, and the place of kindness and forgiveness in the salvation of the spirit.
