What people are saying…

With humor and compassion, Burned aims to capture and convey the gestalt of having undergone the Eaton Fire. Yet the book also seeks to situate that experience within a broader meditation on fire as a force at work in the human story writ large.

- Robert Savino Oventile, "Local News Pasadena"

Together, Nick and Alana worked closely with each contributor, creating a collaborative environment that balanced creative freedom with a shared purpose. The result was an anthology that spans perspectives and genres from humor to surrealism to deeply personal reflections.

- Nick Davidge and Alana White, "Altadena Neighbors Magazine"

Nick and Alana are both incredibly proud of the rich and unique experience they and the rest of the BURNED authors have created. The book will make you laugh, make you cry, and make you glad you read it. And they will always be proud of that.

- Angela Torres, "VoyageLA"

The editors and several contributing authors will host a special reading and signing this Friday, June 5. [...]

The event celebrates creativity, honors those affected by the Eaton Fire, and highlights the power of art to rebuild and reconnect communities.

- Melanie Hooks, "Colorado Boulevard Newspaper"

That spirit is at the heart of BURNED. More than a collection of stories, it’s a testament to what can emerge from devastation when people choose connection over isolation, creation over
despair.
