Chicken Nugget Girl and Other Midlife Traumas - Kate Torode
Kate Torode is a writer, mixed-media painter, and recovering spreadsheet sorceress living her second act on the banks of the Mississippi in St. Louis. Her writing blends wit, warmth, and an affinity for existential snack food. When not building worlds or reworking punchlines, she’s painting, laughing with her husband Brad, and navigating creative life with a mug of something warm and a strong local art community. This is her debut novel. She's already working on the sequel—whether anyone asked her to or not.
GENRE: Humor
Blurb:
Mallory Reynolds is thirty-eight, married, and dangerously proficient at Excel. Her coworkers think she’s the dependable admin with a turkey sandwich and a color-coded inbox. But behind the desk drawer filled with Post-it notes and emergency chocolate, she’s hiding a secret: a half-finished manuscript and three sketchbooks of chaotic, messy, beautiful dreams.
