"Welcome to the world, moje malá holka: Antoinette."

      I believe that it is important to keep the stories of our ancestors alive for many reasons, but perhaps the most important reasons are to honor their memory and thank them for their sacrifices. This is a true story of my great-great grandma, Antoinette Šeplová, who was forced to come to America all on her own at the young age of 13 around 1900. Every part of this short, episodic fiction is based on records, old letters, and accounts from family members to piece together her life's story as a Czech immigrant in America. From a Pietist commune in Iowa to the rough neighborhoods of the Chicago South Side, my great-great grandmother's story is one I continue my work unraveling to this day.  Thank you for your interest and support in my writing, it is very much appreciated. :)

Novas dream has always been to open a bakery of her very own. Well now that she's moved to Galax, Georgia she is living that dream. She's got a lot of work to do on the shop before that happens though. One day as she's working she meets Eleanor, the niece of the president of the local MC. The Notorious Silencers. He's rugged and rough around the edges but once Madz meets Nova it's all over for him. It's love at first sight. But then the rival MC The Silver Serpents starts to cause problems. Will Novas bakery ever open? Will Madz be able to protect his club and new ol' lady? Let's find out! This will probably be smut free/closed door spice level. I don't know how to write spice yet. 🤫 This is my first story and you can definitely tell.
