Author of The Unraveling of Cassidy Holmes.
“In the vein of Daisy Jones & The Six, Cassidy Holmes follows the members of the hit group, Gloss, who in the 90s, were the biggest girl group America had ever seen. Fifteen years after the group’s initial fallout, however, news of Gloss member Cassidy Holmes’s suicide hits the tabloids and the remaining Gloss girls reexamine their past lives to uncover the mystery behind Cassidy’s sudden death. What could have happened? Why did she do it? But most importantly, what could they have done?”

Author Interview - Elissa R. Sloan
The moment I knew I wanted to become an author: I've been writing short stories on the family computer since I was in elementary school. I knew I wanted to be a published author the moment I read an article in the Houston Chronicle about a twelve-year-old who had gotten published. I can't remember that author now, but I thought to myself, "If he can do it, I can do it."
Hardback, paperback, ebook or audiobook: There’s just something so special about hardcovers…
The last book I read: Oona Out of Order by Margarita Montimore
