Book 1: Five Million Moments

What's Mine is Yours. And What's Yours is Mine.

It’s the 1990s—the decade of Singles, Reality Bites, and Friends—when young women believed they could have the career, the love, and the life they’d always imagined. Shannon, Melissa, and Amy meet during sorority rush and become instant confidantes, the kind of friends who share everything: favorite sweaters, late-night confessions, and a sacred blue notebook where they record their wildest dreams.

Shannon is fiercely ambitious and determined to shatter every glass ceiling. Melissa believes in the fairytale—the soulmate, the sign, and the happily ever after. Amy is certain she can balance it all: the journalism career, the family, and the life she’s carefully planned. Together, they are unstoppable…until adulthood reveals that the future rarely unfolds the way you expect.

About the Author - Goldie Williamson

I love writing about the friendships that shape us, the secrets that follow us, and the moments that define who we become. I studied English at the University at Buffalo in the 1990s where I met the two friends who inspired the heart of Five Million Moments.

After earning my MBA from Duke, I spent more than two decades as a marketing executive at global brands including FedEx, AOL, Choice Hotels, Pearson, and Booz Allen Hamilton, helping shape stories about travel, technology, and human connection.

Although I’ve been writing stories about friendship since elementary school, Five Million Moments is my debut novel. Let’s stay connected! Follow me on social media.

About the Author - Truscott Jones

After practicing law for 25 years, Truscott Jones left to teach government and world affairs to high school students. Across both careers, he worked in politics: party conventions, presidential campaigns, and as debate partner for a sitting U.S. senator. These endeavors, and a passion for history and the thin margins upon which it turns, inspired the writing of his latest work of alternative history, Return to Dixie. Engaging students in a diverse public school, persuading juries, and swaying voters all require creative storytelling. This new novel taps into those prior experiences.

Growing up in the South, but raised by parents from Boston and Scranton, Jones lived the tension between our great nation’s cultures. As a gay man coming of age in an era before today’s shaky acceptance, intolerance and the constant fight for equality are familiar concepts to him. Return to Dixie is the product of that backdrop, an effort to paint a unique view of our American condition.
