About Me

Michele Feltman Strider originally became a writer because of her deep appreciation for near rhyme. After publishing her first book "Homecoming: A Novella," Michele quickly realized that becoming a novelist not only exempted her from real work, but gave her the opportunity to write third person book jacket biographies about herself.

Michele grew up largely in the southern US where she graduated from the University of South Alabama with a degree in, of all of the well considered majors, Theater. Michele currently lives in the outrageously pleasant San Francisco Bay Area with her devoted and uxorious husband Jim and two semi-rotten cats. In addition to her work as a novelist, Michele is also an active blogger, tweeter, and chocolate chip cookie eater.

Michele's latest novel, "Hometown," is available from Amazon.com.

Hometown

Plump, unattractive, and underachieving, Sharon Mathers isn't the kind of girl usually found in glossy women's magazines. She is the kind of girl found reading them, usually while drinking beer in the backroom of her friend's double-wide trailer/beauty parlor. Born to a single mother in a small town where family ties run "deep enough to be genetically suspect," Sharon grew up on the social fringe. Unfortunately, marrying a hometown boy and "by extension, almost half of the town," didn't help.

Sharon's longing for deep and authentic ties of kinship takes her farther and farther from her Alabama home town in search of a real "home." Her journey leads her to the sweaty, boozy, sexy streets of the French Quarter and on to the golden prairies of Oklahoma where silver fighter jets pierce a perfect blue sky. Passing through the surreal, nightmarish aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, she ultimately discovers a place of acceptance she never expected.

Homecoming

"Homecoming" is the story of Caitlin Pearson, a college freshman on her first visit home who discovers, to her dismay, that "out of sight did not necessarily guarantee out of mind."

Over the course of her visit, Caitlin endures an overly-controlling mother and her latest redecorating project - Caitlin's oversexed younger cousin, a humiliating stint as her former high school's returning Homecoming Queen, and an old-fashioned booze-and-jealousy spiked family Thanksgiving.

These adventures force Caitlin to confront old wounds and new fears, as well as a future filled with uncertainty, promise, and romance.

"Homecoming" is now available from Amazon.com, Barnes&Noble.com, iTunes, The Sony Reader Store, and other fine booksellers.

The Yummish Faith

The Yummish Faith is a small, but growing movement. Maybe you have noticed Yummish people in your community – holding hands, eating ice cream cones, petting fluffy dogs, stopping to smell the roses... or the cinnabons. Perhaps you are interested in pursuing your own path to The Yum. There are many misconceptions about the Yummish, but the community and message have never been stronger.
