Get to Know Ghost Writing

Callie Sheffield dreams of being a novelist, but for now, she’s stuck ghostwriting other people’s stories. Her latest project is a finance book for the boss of her long-time boyfriend, Thomas. Their relationship is safe, predictable, and slowly draining her of the ambitions she once had.

To carve out some space and clarity, Callie takes her laptop to the local library, where she meets Will Pearson, a plaid-shirted library clerk with messy hair, a secret tattoo, and the effortless charm of a millennial heartthrob. Will makes it impossible for Callie to ignore what she’s been missing—but the deeper their connection grows, the more she realizes he has secrets that could upend everything.

With Will’s encouragement and the quiet inspiration of her beloved great-aunt Esperanza, Callie begins to imagine a life where she writes her own story rather than someone else’s. But when tragedy strikes, she’s hit with the bittersweet reminder that love and loss often walk hand in hand.

Full of millennial nostalgia—Clueless quotes, ska riffs, and late-night Gilmore Girls marathons—Ghostwriting is a cozy, slow-burn romance with plenty of heat. Preorder opens October 3, 2025, from Astralumen Press.
