Book Description
WHAT IS ELLIES? ELLIES is a sci-fi dramedy for dynamic ladies who wish they lived in a peaceful, matriarchal utopia run by Black women. It's like Veep meets Planet of the Apes with a splash of Avatar. This quirky series of novellas contains twists, turns, and political hijinks. Even if you have never been lost in space, ELLIES will entertain audiences throughout the Milky Way and beyond. THE SYNOPSIS: “Welcome to Elle.” Senator Athena Napoli didn’t stick to the plan. Her Tuesday had a clear schedule. Pass her “Butter, not guns” bill first thing in the morning. Nail debate prep with her campaign manager Ilonka Van Dijk before lunch. Nap at home until her husband and kids come home from school. Then crush her fellow Coalition Party candidates on stage, earn the sitting Prime Minister's endorsement, and win the party's primary, setting up Athena to take the election in November as Elle's next prime minister. Except a bunch of aliens had their own plans to invade Athena’s country. Okay, technically, their original plan was to land on Styx, a moon of Pluto in a completely different galaxy. But sexegenarian Harrington Umar, the commander of the Knoxville mission, decided to go on a wild goose chase through a tesseract and landed at the airport in Athena’s backyard. If only Harrington had listened to John Charles Carter, his mission specialist and second in command, then they wouldn’t be in Elle. But here they are. And the Prime Minister has tasked Athena to find out what the invaders want, and send them on their way. But how was Athena supposed to know that Customs and Immigration would dismantle their ship? So now these strangers are stuck in a strange land, Athena’s stuck babysitting two grown men who act like stray puppies, and who is that knocking at her front door? THE VISION: ELLIES is a series about what happens when Black women run everything. Why Black women specifically? Black women remain the most educated demographic in the United States, yet Black women only earn 68% of what non-Hispanic white men do. As a group, on Earth, we are currently overeducated, underemployed, overlooked, and undervalued. But in the country of Elle, in the year 2222, there are no shackles, there are no strings. Elle is designed for us and by us, a radical, feminist, democratic socialist environment where Black women live our best lives. And so does everyone else. One hundred year prior to the start of the series, a group of Black women from Earth’s African diaspora founded Elle. It was a secret mission. The nine were fed up with their place in the world, the misogyny, the degradation, the genocide. These resilient souls reached out across the universe, a neighbor heard their siren song, and the women packed up and left for a new world, Vores Hjem. Once they determined their refuge was safe, the women called back to Earth for their sisters, families, friends. An exodus of a hundred thousand, kept hush hush. ELLIES exemplifies what is possible for Black women, if we have the freedom to simply be. It is not a request for other people to give us power; it is a statement about the utopian society we can create if we harness our existing power together, without the intertwined constraints of capitalism, patriarchy, and white supremacy. Let’s do this. ********** A full length standalone, sci-fi dramedy with an ambitious yet vulnerable, geeky heroine, a confident, tenacious hero, and a mysterious ending with a cliffhanger. ELLIES, volume 1: A Tuesday: a sci-fi dramedy novella is a contemporary, geek girl, multiracial, nerdy, political, utopian work of staggering genius. This funny, beach read is one-of-a-kind Kindle eBook that refuses to fit in one box. If you like Bindi, Black Mirror, Borgen, Galaxy Quest, The Illustrated Man, The Twilight Zone, and The West Wing, then you will love ELLIES. **********

Book Description
Awkward, shy, antisocial, bashful and overly self-conscious are some of the words that describe seventeen year old Ellie Eguchi. But her juxtaposing nature of caring, assured self esteem, confidence and unflinching spirit are what keep her in a positive mindset with an optimistic outlook on life. At school, she keeps to herself and prefers to eat lunch away from everyone else. Torn between taking over the family bread and sweets shop or choosing a career weighs her down more than usual. As a way to ease the boredom of her mundane everyday life, she holds an IRL meet with five other youths who all share the same common desire as her: a desire to interact with the world around them. These five will be the ones who open the door of her sheltered world and show her that life isn’t as boring as she makes it out to be.

Book Description
Comedian and star of The Office and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and host of The Great American Baking Show Ellie Kemper delivers a hilarious, refreshing, and inspiring collection of essays “teeming with energy and full of laugh-out-loud moments” (Associated Press). “A pleasure. Ellie Kemper is the kind of stable, intelligent, funny, healthy woman that usually only exists in yogurt commercials. But she’s real and she’s all ours!” —Tina Fey “Ellie is a hilarious and talented writer, although we’ll never know how much of this book the squirrel wrote.”—Mindy Kaling Meet Ellie, the best-intentioned redhead next door. You’ll laugh right alongside her as she shares tales of her childhood in St. Louis, whether directing and also starring in her family holiday pageant, washing her dad’s car with a Brillo pad, failing to become friends with a plump squirrel in her backyard, eating her feelings while watching PG-13 movies, or becoming a “sports monster” who ends up warming the bench of her Division 1 field hockey team in college. You’ll learn how she found her comedic calling in the world of improv, became a wife, mother and New Yorker, and landed the role of a bridesmaid (while simultaneously being a bridesmaid) in Bridesmaids. You’ll get to know and love the comic, upbeat, perpetually polite actress playing Erin Hannon on The Office, and the exuberant, pink-pants-wearing star of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. If you’ve ever been curious about what happens behind the scenes of your favorite shows, what it really takes to be a soul cycle “warrior,” how to recover if you accidentally fall on Doris Kearns Goodwin or tell Tina Fey on meeting her for the first time that she has “great hair—really strong and thick,” this is your chance to find out. But it’s also a laugh-out-loud primer on how to keep a positive outlook in a world gone mad and how not to give up on your dreams. Ellie “dives fully into each role—as actor, comedian, writer, and also wife and new mom—with an electric dedication, by which one learns to reframe the picture, and if not exactly become a glass-half-full sort of person, at least become able to appreciate them” (Vogue.com).
