For my Beatles fan friends and Paul readers, and anyone who enjoys a well-written, intelligent story about 1960s London, I would love to introduce you to two new writers in the Beatles fandom who have recently blown my mind with their talent!
First, @Hadorii is writing a Paul story set in 1965-66 called Yeah Yeah Yeah which is the highlight of my week. Her characters are so brilliantly created that I think about them long after I've finished a chapter. Her original character, Alice, is cool, calm, and collected, with a secretive past. She is intriguing yet somehow utterly relatable. The perfect love interest. Also, @Hadorii has an amazing gift for writing in Paul's POV.
After reading Chapter 1 of Yeah Yeah Yeah about the Beatles in the studio, I accused the author of being Paul McCartney. She claims this is untrue, so it follows that she is most certainly a time traveler. Read Chapter 1 in which the author is a fly on the wall in the studio with the Beatles and you will agree. I've laughed and cried my way through this lovely book more than once and she hasn't even finished it yet.
And then, in only two chapters, the second new Beatles writer @All-The-Letters swept me away to 1966 avant-garde London with her new story The Lonely People. Her original character, Beatrix, is working on her first novel when she meets Paul McCartney at a party peopled with art dealers and literati. I adore learning about Swinging London and learning slang from a true Brit. I'm thinking, this is a great story about the London scene in the 60s, I'm learning so much, and then BAM: Paul enters the scene and the attraction between Paul and Beatrix absolutely sizzles. I felt how he left her flustered, confused, and aroused. I felt ALL the feels. THIS is a story to watch.
Both Yeah Yeah Yeah and The Lonely People are on my bookshelf. So happy these two brilliant writers are writing Beatles fan fiction now! xo
