Chasing
Nirvana by Elyn Oaksmith
Genre: YA Coming of Age Romance/LGBTQ
Release Date: October 2017
Summary:
Fran Worth is just another girl trying to make it through
senior year at Weatherwax High in Aberdeen, Washington. But it's 1993 and Fran
is gay. Her comfortably off the radar life turns vividly public when a student
nominates Fran for prom queen. When confronted by angry parents Fran refuses to
back down, promising to deliver her hometown heroes in hopes of winning prom
queen votes. Fran heads out on a 24 hour road trip to Daily City, California
with four friends, including her crush who may or may not be gay. Their plan? To sneak backstage to ask Kurt
Cobain and Nirvana to come home and play prom. No problem. Unless something goes
wrong.
About the
Author
I graduated from Smith College and have a very expensive MFA
from The American Film Institute. Some writers will tell you that their MFA was
a waste of money. I won't. It gave me great editorial skills and colorful,
crazy experiences working as a screenwriter in LA. Cooking on fishing boats in
Alaska paid my tuition. Screenwriting and working in the middle of the Bering
Sea have a lot in common: hard work, unpredictability and occasionally both
make you want to scream. Besides my family and friends, I love rescue dogs,
cats, cooking, baking, open water swimming, kayaking and reading, reading,
reading, reading. Did I mention reading?
