Jaclyn Westlake writes novels about funny, flawed women doing their best to find their way in the world. If you’ve ever felt like you don’t quite belong or had a sneaking suspicion that everyone except you has magically figured out the secret to being a Fully Functional Adult™, her books are just for you!.
In her highly relatable, fun debut, Dear Dotty, Rosie Benson does not have it all together. Like most twenty-somethings, she struggles to figure out life and soon finds herself following the advice of her late great-aunt through a series of revelatory emails about pursuing long-buried dreams rather than society’s idea of perfect. Perfect for fans of Sophie Kinsella.

Zelly Ruskin was a social worker in the adoption and foster care field who, once she moved to New York City, gave in to the compulsion to write women’s fiction spiced with suspense about motherhood, relationships, loss and love.
When she’s not devising twisty plots, Zelly loves traveling, hiking, and is passionate about and volunteers for Brain Aneurysm Awareness. Her involvement in the cause is driven by personal experiences, including surviving an unruptured brain aneurysm, the tragic loss of a family member to a rupture, and supporting a friend in their recovery.
Her multi-award winning debut novel, Not Yours to Keep, is a psychological thriller that delves into themes of reproductive rights and healthcare, confronting the complexities that define family—or the risks that lose it all.
