"For the last forty years, award winning songwriter Linda Thompson has quietly led one of the most remarkable lives in show business. The longtime live-in love of Elvis Presley, Linda first emerged into the limelight during the 1970s when the former beauty pageant queen caught the eye of the King. Their chance late-night encounter at a movie theater was the stuff of legend, and it marked the beginning of a whirlwind that would stretch across decades, leading to a marriage with Bruce Jenner, motherhood, and more drama than she ever could've imagined.
Now, for the first time, Linda opens up about it all, telling the full story of her life, loves, and everything in between. From her humble beginnings in Memphis to her nearly five year relationship with Elvis, she offers an intimate window into their life together, describing how their Southern roots fueled and sustained Graceland's greatest romance." (Continued)

"It was in the difficult aftermath of Elvis' death that Linda found what she believed was her true home: the arms of Olympic gold medal winner Bruce Jenner. Detailing her marriage to Bruce, Linda reveals the seemingly perfect life that they built with two sons, Brandon and Brody-before Bruce changed everything with a secret." (Continued)
-
"And yet, despite her marriage unraveling, her search for love was not over, eventually leading her to the legendary music producer and musician David Foster, a relationship that lasted for 19 years, resulting in a bond that spurred her songwriting career to new heights, but also tested her like never before."

Two Hours to Remember [Elvis]
Here are two fictional stories of how my maternal and paternal grandmothers met Elvis as teens in the 50s. I think we all wished that our family members met him at some point. These stories are purely made up and start out the same but change as the story goes on. They're not chronological, but are two separate stories, 12-14,000-word count each. FYI: Pictures of the girls aren't my grandmothers. Names are changed as to protect privacy. The family make-up for the girls is about the same as it really was, the city is the same, and the talents that I wrote in were their real talents in life as well. Rest their souls. 💗🌷🌼 All the people who the characters are based on in these stories are not alive today, aside from one--my great-uncle. 💗🌷🌼Terminé

A completed book... 2024 update: Thank you all for making my weird middle-school self, as well as Camilla's, overjoyed with the love this book received.

And yes, I'm going to go see Beetlejuice 2 😼. Love ya!Terminé
You and Me (Plus Everyone In Between Us)
17-almost-18-year-old Ezra Thompson is tired of two things. First, is constant chatter about Dilemma, an all-boy rock band, led by the supposedly-dreamy frontman Andre Robinson that somehow has a universal grip on every teenager in the world. Personally, Ezra doesn't see the appeal. Second, being in the shadow of her more smart, successful, and popular twin brother Emmet. Ezra couldn't ask for a better life. The thing is, Ezra, can sing. Like really sing. Only her parents who are occasionally proud of her, treat it as a juvenile hobby and she could never sing in front of people. So for now, her shampoo bottles get front-row access to her once-a-night concert in the shower. But when Ezra's younger sister, Maria, signs her up for a singing reality show called Finding Solstice, she is both angry and grateful. To her surprise, she passes the audition and is invited to Los Angeles for the show. Suddenly immersed in the cutthroat music industry, Ezra faces a whirlwind competition against fame-hungry singers, all fighting tooth and nail for the same prize. Amidst the manufactured forces of the industry, she must stand her ground and protect her passion for music. As if that wasn't enough, Ezra finds herself suddenly encountering a pretentious rockstar and is unexpectedly drawn to him. As the competition heats up, Ezra finds herself at the center of a brewing scandal that could end her career before it even starts. The pressure is on, and Ezra is torn between her passion for music and the fear of being dragged down. The stakes are high, and people are unforgiving, but Ezra knows that her music is worth fighting for. With her future on the line, she must navigate the twists and turns of the music industry and stay focused on what really matters: her music and her dreams.Terminé
Love, Elvis (CAUTION SEXUAL CONTENT)
BASED ON A TRUE STORY. Over one billion records sold worldwide.150 albums and singles hit gold, platinum and multi-platinum. Almost every song he recorded hit America's Top 100 Charts. His concerts hit record setting attendance records. He has entered the hall of fame for every single music genre and is known throughout the world by his first name. I never believed in love, but I had an open mind to it. Day by day, I waited for my prince. Never did I even think my prince would be one of the most famous people in the world. I knew Elvis. Not only did I know him, but I loved him. No, I don't mean some insane fan-girl that screams at the merest sight of him. I mean, love. I knew him in a way, I didn't even know was possible. He was a mysterious man... Actually, I believe that is what drew us close to eachother. I'm writing this, because I want everyone to know what the man behind the rockin' pelvis was really like. -This story is based off of actual experiences my Grandma D had back in her 'kinder years'. I didn't believe her when I was younger, but after she died I found a diary and photos. It was the most tragic reality love story I've ever heard. I read her diarys as best I could, and I have decided to tell everyone about it! Please enjoy! (Sorry I couldn't really go into too much detail! Somethings I'm sure the Presley's would like to keep a secret, and this book would have been the longest book ever....I am in the process of editing though, so make sure you read again if you've already read!)Terminé
Girl of Mine
All stories, good or bad, begin at the right time and place. The night Rosalie Wood's boyfriend of one year proposed to her during an Elvis Presley concert in 1956, she went from thinking she knew everything, to knowing nothing. Faced with Wendell's infidelity, she soon finds herself consumed by the anxious, unknown road ahead. But a path is paved as Elvis joins her journey at the height of his infamous criticism. Beneath the dazzling spotlight, he battles the pressure of public scrutiny, unflattering nicknames, rules to follow or break, and the growing disconnection between the man and the image. As Rosalie becomes a steady presence in Elvis' life, helping him navigate his struggles and love life, she's forced to confront her own. Their growing bond, rooted in trust and friendship, lets them discover solace where they thought there was none. This is the start of a book series about personal growth, staying true to yourself, and the many challenges we stumble upon throughout human life, no matter who we are. Dear Reader: Girl of Mine is rooted in its time, delving into both the life and challenges of the 1950s. Along the way, it speaks of sensitive themes such as se*ual assault, violence, substance abuse, mental health, and racism. While these themes are heavy, they are included with the purpose to reflect, to educate, spread awareness and improve one's mental health.Terminé
Forever Young, Always Beautiful (E.P)
Have you ever wondered who took all those rare candid photos of the King that you only come across every once in a while? Do you ever wonder, in a world of people out for his fame and wealth, who Elvis would let close enough to take such intimate photographs? Did you ever consider that it was someone close to him, no one professional, who took them? Annabel Jenkins - she'd prefer if you call her Annie - was only 14 years old when she moved to Memphis, Tennessee. The move was a result of her father's new job, for which he brought Annie and her mother along with him. Upon starting at the local high school, Humes High, Annie found herself as an outcast. As she was no one particularly special, not gifted in an outright glance, people just ignored her. There was the odd comment, maybe something to do with her auburn hair or her older looking, fuller figure, but they were just jealous girls or disrespectful boys. She had it nowhere near as bad as the school's resident punch bag, a kid called Elvis Presley. Annie recognised him; they lived two houses apart. And because of their common ground as outcasts, they quickly became friends. And so started a friendship that would last until Elvis' last breath.

Tangled Limbs (Shannon Leto Fanfiction)
Music inspires many to persevere, hope, dream, laugh, cry and process a wide variety of emotions. Music was very important to Melissa Campbell, having been the only constant in a tumultuous existence. It was key to her survival--her addiction. Far worse addictions were a hostile presence in her life that ultimately robbed her of a nurturing childhood and a happy marriage. Her perception of love was clouded by the misconception that other people's needs came first and only when she sacrificed herself did she feel worthy of it. Most of her life passed before she broke this cycle, finally finding happiness within herself. Melissa's motivation to change was spurred by one band in particular in more than one way. She followed a path that led her to what she was meant to do all her life--become a writer. Not only did she develop a passion for writing, she fell in love with a handsome bad-boy rock star. Shannon opened up a whole new world, giving her a depth of desire she'd never experienced. He lived in LA and she lived on the opposite side of the country however, making it a challenge to pursue a relationship. The idea of moving to California posed many doubts for her. Were his feelings genuine? Could he be faithful despite his widely acclaimed playboy reputation? Could she adapt to a different lifestyle? What hardships would she face in the public eye if they were a couple? She wanted answers before leaving the only life she'd ever known, but that was far from realistic. If she wanted him, she'd have to risk it all to see how things would unfold.Terminé
My Confessional
Writing a memoir at only fifteen years old has taught me a lot. Giving me the time to reflect on the lessons I learned the hard way and the mistakes I've made thus far. I learned, if there is at least two sides to every story, there is at least two sides to every person. What could be a smile is a broken heart in a deeper reality. We all live in a society where nothing is as it seems, the people being more complex and astonishing than the countless novels we read. And in a world ruled by tragedies, we are the survivors. Getting through our own history, more important to us then what we read in school. We take our story one page at a time, word by word because in the end, it will all be worth it. I dedicate this memoir to the people who have been with me on my journey of self discovery, even if only in spirit. Mom- Who has made non stop sacrifices to ensure my happiness and well being. Nothing would be possible without you! Grandma- Who has inspired me and made a huge influence to the person I am now and who I'll be in the future. Callie- My own personal slave, illustrator, editor and full time best friend. You know I love you <3 Ariana Grande- My celebrity inspiration, showing me that it's ok to "love who you love, no one can judge, follow your heart and don't give up", getting me through the long and lonely nights. Be sure to buy her new album "Moonlight", hopefully to be released this year and her new fragrance "Ari" in accordance to the "Be You" campaign. Adam Young (Of Owl City)- My first artist I listened to, your songs make me think of the past and the new adventures to come. Sam Tsui- The album "Make it up" taught me to not be scared of not knowing what's going to happen next. Being young and naive Isn't necessarily a bad thing, as it brings way to new experiences, to be vulnerable and crying doesn't make you any less of a person. That we're all human and it's ok to embrace it.Terminé
Out of my Control
Book 6 in the It just Happened Series. (Can be a stand alone but to better understand it read Never Say Never.) Love is supposed to be grand. No one prepares you for the heartache and pain. Not in the manner that they should. I had it all! The perfect husband. Johnny, he was everything a woman could dream of. Until I lost him, then my whole world shattered once again. Then there is River Fox the one person who will just not leave. He made a promise to Johnny, one he will not let go of. When all I need is for him to do exactly that. He infuriates me to no end! I just can't get him out of my mind, and it kills me! Loss... Pain... Raising a child on my own, it's all too much. "Katrina." He never calls me by my name. It's always princess, stubborn, a pain in his ass. "Look at me." I can't because when you call my name it does things to me, I know it shouldn't! Desire... Longing... Hoping for something I shouldn't... Wanting to be loved again... "Please, just stop!" Do. Not. Cry. I have shed way too many tears. I can't take the guilt anymore. "Just go. Please!" The first tears fall as the door slams shut. I'm betraying Johnny, by wanting his close friend. Even though I try to fight, I can't resist him. I hate it! I hate him. Mostly, I hate myself for the desire I have for the one man I shouldn't. How did everything get so out of my control?
