I’ll be launching my novel One Story with the help of Ramona Bookstore, a short interview with Emily Westmoreland, and a gentle DJ set inspired by the music and the era of the novel, i.e. some 2010s and 90s classiques.

It’s ofc free but RSVP is essential

I'm excited to host this at the Library Portal, it’s one of the most beautiful book/community spaces that I e’er did see. The perfect place for a little party ft. books, martinis n' milling about

Love Pip xx

About One Story:

TRAILBLAZER. VISIONARY. ICON. CRIMINAL?

In the sun-drenched chaos of 2010s Silicon Valley, a tech company's meteoric rise culminates in a devastating fall. Dot Van Jensen, the trailblazing CEO-turned-fugitive, narrates her story from a hidden corner of Indonesia. A scandal has painted her as the villain, a puppet-master who fractured democracy and paved the way for a darker future. But is the truth as cut and dry as the headlines seem to imply?

While Dot weaves a tale of One Story's genesis, her co-founders—her son, Jon, whose formative years saw him sheltered from technology on a secluded ranch, and Rae, the enigmatic partner who saw in Dot a path to power—grapple with their own legacies.

As a documentary crew digs for the truth, a chorus of over a thousand voices, the company's employees, fill the pages with their own narratives. They always believed the work they were doing was putting them on the right side of history, and they’re not going to let it be told any other way. If anyone is going to take the fall, it’s going to be Dot, and if she won’t fall, there are plenty who will push her.

One Story is a captivating look at ambition, betrayal, and the power of narrative in a world hungry for answers. It's a story where the lines between hero and villain are blurred, and the true cost of progress becomes a question mark shimmering in the California sun.
