THE EM SUITE—A Series
The Em Suite is a growing collection of novel-length stories by Djuna Shellam that are all connected to one character—Mary-Mackenna Martín, also known as Em. We recommend that the series be read in order.
While each of the books in this series was (and will be) written to stand alone, should someone happen across one or two out of order in the series, the series has a much greater impact on the reader if it is read in order. Because there are twists and suspense in earlier books that are mentioned or alluded to in later books, if read out of order, those twists and suspense lose some of their impact. HOWEVER… our recommendation is just that. It is not for Magnhild Press or the author to dictate for the reader how the reader wishes to enjoy The Em Suite, as our sole wish is that our readers simply enjoy The Em Suite.
A WOMAN LIKE EVE
by Djuna Shellam
The Em Suite—Book Five
All is well with Em Martín. Things couldn’t be better. After helping Dot get back on her feet in Palm Springs, Em and her family are back home in Bel Air, CA, embracing their new roles. Happy and beyond content, Em feels lucky she’s found “the one.” Life is good—exceedingly good… until it’s not.
As if on cue, the good turns ugly. Prairie’s Montana is dealing with a health crisis, Dot experiences a devastating loss; and, in the blink of an eye, everyone’s favorite and seemingly unbreakable couple is on the verge of broken.
Eve’s past—one she’s buried for two decades—has inconveniently bubbled to the surface. A dark past that, when fully revealed, has the potential to blow up her perfect life with Em. What is the line that cannot be crossed… the bridge too far… the things that cannot be undone that threaten to unravel a solid relationship? Will Eve’s secrets prove too terrible, sordid, and unforgivable? Will love win?
In Book 5 of The Em Suite Series, A Woman Like Eve, Eve reveals her painful and unsavory history, taking her partner and readers on a not-so-nostalgic trip back to the hedonistic Seventies and Eighties in Los Angeles and San Francisco. Meanwhile, Em’s alternative family circle grows, taking on new adventures.

NOM DE PLUME
by Djuna Shellam
The True Life Adventures of Djuna Shellam—Vol. 1
For as many reasons as there are days in a year… a century… or millennia, some novelists choose to write incognito. By using a device known as an alias, pen name; or, as the French so beautifully say, nom de plume, they can cloak their true identities.
The nom de plume, however, presents somewhat of a conundrum for the writer. Whose backstory or biography should an author employ to introduce themselves to… More
