Short Story Press Presents Getting Micky Dolenz by Alicia Voss-Guillen

Thirteen-year-old Julie Desmond is a child of the psychedelic sixties…who just so happens to be head over heels in love with drummer Micky Dolenz of the popular made for TV band, The Monkees. Her bedroom is a living tribute to the musician, from the posters on her walls to the pin-back buttons on her window curtains. Julie eats, sleeps, and breathes Micky Dolenz, and for almost a year, it’s been her deepest heart’s desire to meet him face to face. She and her best friend Patsy spent hours scheming, dreaming, and gushing over The Monkees, even writing “Monkee love letters” to themselves! Then one summer day, fate steps in to make Julie’s wildest dreams come true, along with the help of two wonderful new friends. When Julie gets the chance of a lifetime to meet Micky Dolenz at an exclusive Malibu house party, she is out of her mind with excitement! The day of the party, she spends hours getting dressed, curling her hair, and doing her makeup. She can’t believe this is really, truly happening! The evening following is one Julie Desmond will never forget…and brings with it unexpected revelations about true love, crushes, and finding romance where you least expect it.
