All She Wrote Books

Join All She Wrote Books on Friday, October 16th at 6:30pm, as we welcome editor Samantha Paige Rosen to celebrate the release of her anthology — Living, Together! Amidst the climate crisis, a hostile housing market, and the loneliness epidemic, Living, Together&nbsp;opens a window into how people in the US are thriving through collective care. This book invites us to imagine what new opportunities for connection exist when we push through the walls society has built for us.

This book launch event will include a moderated discussion with Rev. Jordan Harris and Willie Burnley Jr., an audience Q&amp;A, and a signing by Samantha!

"Inclusivity" isn't just a buzzword to us. We make every effort to ensure our space and events are accessible to and for everyone. If you or someone in your party needs accommodations, please email us at <a target="_blank" href="https://mailto:info@allshewrotebooks.com/" rel="nofollow noopener">info@allshewrotebooks.com</a>.

About Living, Together
Featuring Kristen Arnett, Rhaina Cohen, Kim Stanley Robinson, and more ● "Most Anticipated" by Electric Literature, Debutiful, The Millions, and Autostraddle&nbsp;● "Best/Notable" by Book Riot&nbsp;and Daily Kos

At age 29, when Samantha Paige Rosen made an unexpected move back home, she was surprised to find how much she loved living with her parents again. Inspired and curious, she began searching for others who had redefined home and community.

The essays and Q&amp;As in Living, Together&nbsp;are about carving out spaces of communal connection and joy in our 3-bed, 2-bath starter home culture. Although they recount life at different stages and in different regions, these stories showcase the delights and tradeoffs of more dynamic shapes of “home.” Across sections on family, intentional community, and what lies beyond housing, readers will hear from voices like:

<ul><li>Kristen Arnett, whose found family kept her afloat, from weddings to hurricane season and everything in between</li><li>Kim Stanley Robinson, who describes the magic of communities that are led by everyone</li><li>Sarah Thankam Mathews, who founded a pandemic mutual aid group and discovered, like so many of us, how essential connection and care are in times of crisis</li><li>Rodney M. Bordeaux, who explores how strength and unity are inextricably tied to life on First Nations reservations</li></ul>

About the Author
Samantha Paige Rosen’s writing on identity, culture, and the arts has appeared in the Washington Post, Harper’s Bazaar, ELLE, Slate,&nbsp;Them, Literary Hub,&nbsp;and elsewhere. She earned her MFA from Sarah Lawrence College and lives outside of Philadelphia, where she is a freelance writer and editor, a writing tutor and coach, and an amateur potter. Living, Together: Reimagining Community in the Age of Disconnection is her first book.

About the Book
Murder either bonds you or breaks you.

Rural PI Mel Tillman knows this well. She’s seen her fair share of bloody cases and botched cover-ups. But killing with someone? That is a different kind of mess all together, and Mel’s got real experience with it.

No one’s heard from Toby Dunne since Chloe Harper’s sweet sixteen party—because the birthday girl and sixteen-year-old Mel buried him so deep in the backwoods, no one’s ever finding him. Mel loses little sleep over it—Toby had been terrorizing them.

What she does lose sleep over is Chloe, the girl with whom she survived that horrible night in the woods. Chloe, the girl she fell in love with. Chloe, the girl who disappeared and hasn’t been seen in more than six years.

Tasked with locating Chloe by her family, Mel can’t resist the call of a good chase, or finding the one who got away with her heart (and with murder). When Mel finds an armed and vigilant Chloe living off-grid in a highly booby-trapped patch of Canadian wilderness, she realizes that Chloe had been expecting someone other than her ex to come looking for her. The thing that’s kept Chloe going for years is that she’s kept Mel safe by running. Now, the truth must come out as they run for their lives once again.

Twisty and razor-sharp, Tess Sharpe’s No Body No Crime is a heart-pounding thriller teeming with secrets, betrayals, and a star-crossed romance for the ages.

About the Author

She lives deep in the backwoods with a pack of dogs and a group of formerly feral forest cats.
