Starlite

by Mae East

For Lani Love, nothing in life has ever been easy. It started with an overbearing father, a distant mother, and a highly controlled childhood. At nineteen, she finally escapes her home life and heads to the warm city of Austin, Texas, where she hopes the sun will melt away her painful memories. However, she learns all too quickly that just because you leave a place, that place may not leave you. She finds that her past still haunts her, her father still controls her, and the demons of others still torment her. She begins to wonder if she will ever have a normal life until one day, a stranger takes her hand and changes everything.

About the author

*Also writes under the name J.M. Easterly

Hello, lovely wanderer! I'm Mae East. Thanks for stopping by. I’m an independent author who likes to roam across genres the way some people roam through bookstores—curious, wide-eyed, and occasionally carrying more than I probably should.

I’m generally an optimist at heart, but my stories sometimes slip down shadowy alleyways or wander into stormy weather. I like a bit of contrast—sunshine means more after the rain, after all.

My books won’t be everyone’s cup of tea (or coffee… or mysterious glowing potion), and that’s perfectly all right. Stories are like doors: not every one is meant for every traveler. But if you choose to open one of mine, I hope it leads you somewhere unexpected, unforgettable, or perhaps to a much-needed escape hatch from a busy life.

And if one path doesn’t suit you? There’s always another genre waiting just around the corner.

However you found your way here, thank you. From one reader to another, may your shelves be full, your bookmarks plentiful, and your next great adventure only a page away. 📚✨
