In a country unraveling at the seams, a queer woman finds herself tethered to two realities: one where her partner, Mary Lou, ascends to the vice presidency amid political absurdity, and another where dreamlike encounters with Elvis Presley and Jack Kerouac challenge everything she thought she understood about identity, love, and truth.  As Mary Lou navigates the surreal theater of American power—trading barbs with the former and newly elected president Silas, a caricature of ego and decay—the narrator drifts between timelines and metaphysical scenes, eating peanut butter, jelly, and bacon sandwiches with Elvis in one moment, and confronting Kerouac’s romanticized despair in another.

     What begins as a love story becomes a layered meditation on perception, disillusionment, and the stories we tell ourselves to survive.  Through sharp satire and lyrical introspection, Elvis and Company explores how personal relationships mirror national dysfunction, and how shifting realities can reveal deeper truths about who we are—and who we pretend to be.

     Funny, poignant, and defiantly strange, this novel blends political critique with emotional depth, offering readers a journey through the fractured psyche of a woman caught between love, legacy, and the gravitational pull of cultural myth.
