Happy Galentine’s Day &
Meet Andrea J. Stein! πŸ’•

Hello Friends –

In celebration of Galentine’s Day, this morning I’m chatting with author C. D’Angelo on Instagram Live, and we hope you can join us for the fun! πŸ€—

And since one of the perks of being an author is meeting so many amazing women writers, today I’m starting an Author Spotlight series to celebrate and introduce them to you too.

My first author (victim, lol) is Andrea J. Stein. I originally met Andrea through her incredible Bookstagram account. We discovered we share similar tastes in fiction and bonded over our love of early Chick Lit novels. I was so lucky to read an advanced copy of her debut novel Typecast in 2022 and absolutely fell in love with the main character Callie. And I know you’ll love Andrea and Callie too!

P.S. You can win a copy of her book in our Valentine’s Day Giveway. Details below.

Happy Reading!πŸ€—πŸ“š

Galentine’s Day Author Chat - Instagram Live
with C. D’Angelo

Today I’m chatting on Instagram Live with Italian-American women’s fiction author C. D’Angelo. We’ll be talking about our latest novels, the writing life, and the importance of women’s friendships. And knowing us, there will also probably be a hearty discussion about food. πŸ˜‰

There will also be a giveaway for our two novels - The Palace at Dusk and The Visitor. We hope you can join us! 🩷

AUTHOR SPOTLIGHT
Andrea J. Stein

Hi, Andrea! Please tell us a little about yourself & your book.

I’m an avid reader and professionally, I’m a book publicist. Typecast is my first published novel.  It’s women’s fiction, and is the story of Callie Dressler, a 31-year-old preschool teacher in suburban New Jersey who lives alone in the house she grew up in, her parents having relocated to Florida. Her life is about to be upended when her Type-A pregnant sister, brother-in-law and niece move in with her while their house is being renovated. Then Callie finds out that the big new movie that’s about to come out is written by her college ex-boyfriendβ€”and seems to be based on their breakup. I like to describe Typecast as full of sister drama, romance, humor, regrets, forgiveness, roads not takenβ€”along with 80s and 90s pop culture!

What was the inspiration or spark behind writing Typecast?

The spark for Typecast came when I heard about a guy who’d made a short film about his college girlfriend, ten years after graduation.  It got me wondering how that ex-girlfriend would feel if she knew she was the subject of a film so many years later. From there, I started thinking about who that woman would beβ€”would she be single or married? Why did the college relationship end? That was how Typecast was born.

What do you hope readers take away from Typecast?

I hope that readers of Typecast come away thinking about the power of forgivenessβ€”and especially self-forgiveness. It’s so important to recognize, and truly internalize, that the choices you made in the past were probably the best ones you could make at the timeβ€”with the information you had, and who you were as a person.  I also hope they come away with the desire to read more from me!

What has been the most rewarding experience of publishing your debut novel?

Wow.  It’s hard to pinpoint just oneβ€”but I’ll narrow down to two. 

One has been all the support I’ve gottenβ€”mostly from unexpected sources. For example, people I don’t know very well who have gone out of their way to share their love for the book on social media or to invite me to their book clubs. 

The other is how people beyond the audience I originally thought I was writing for have enjoyed the book. I’d anticipated that my readers would be women aged twenty to fifty or so. But I’ve gotten such great feedback from seniors who read it as part of book groups they’re in, and from husbands who read it at the suggestion of their wives!

That’s so wonderful! Did you always want to be an author?

When I was a kid, I imagined I’d be an author or illustrator, and when I went to college, I intended to major in creative writing.  Unfortunately, I never actually took a creative writing class there because I was intimidated by the other students who were writersβ€”I wasn’t comfortable enough in my own skin to share my own writing. But, over the years, I continued to write, and doubt I’ll ever stop.

Can you share what you’re working on now?

I have an idea for my next book percolating in the back of my head, but my focus is largely on my next novel, Dear Eliza, which will be published in October 2024.

Congratulations! And where can readers find you?

I love to hear from readers!  Aside from following me on Instagram and Facebook , they can sign up for my newsletter at my website:  https://www.andreajstein.com/   I send it out once or twice a month and it includes all my news.
