DYING IN DUBAI is a memoir of love, loss, reckoning, and renewal, set against the backdrop of a Rodeo Drive-on-Mars desert city. It tells of the sudden death of Roselee Blooston's beloved husband, Jerry, and how her fifteen day journey through a profoundly disorienting environment, and the inner journey over the next thirteen months through the equally foreign terrain of grief, force her to face wrenching questions about his behavior there. As she free-falls through the city's frightening underbelly with its ubiquitous police stations, gender-segregated waiting rooms, arbitrary Sharia laws, and an opaque bureaucracy that prevents her from immediately bringing his body home, the Middle East becomes the catalyst for a life-altering confrontation with her partner, her marriage, and ultimately, with herself. DYING IN DUBAI shows the reader that no matter the uncertainties, it is possible to transcend heartbreak, and to move forward with joy. - Inbunden, Engelska, 2017

The Chocolate Jar and Other Stories by Roselee Blooston is a collection of humorous, incisive, and poignant tales from the author of two award-winning books: Dying in Dubai and Trial by Family. Its 8 stories explore transgressions large and small, and the lingering power of past conflicts. Whether an intra-office escalation over candy in the award-winning title story; a couple nursing their marriage through a sick plant; a first job leading to first love; boundaries crossed between neighbors; a spa weekend reconciliation between sisters; a daughter resisting her mother’s intervention; a high school rivalry exploding into adulthood; or the struggle between a single mom and her teenage son, longing for his father––all will resonate with readers who relish short fiction that gets to the heart of everyday tensions and extraordinary ones. - Inbunden, Engelska, 2022

Almost: My Life in the Theater tells the story of the author''s decades-long struggle to fulfill her early promise by becoming a professional actress, taking her to far-flung locales from Europe to Texas to New York City. Along the way, she encounters several Oscar winners and nominees--including Meryl Streep, Greer Garson, and Olympia Dukakis--who each had a profound effect on her self-image and trajectory, though no one had more influence than her mother, a visual artist, whose life served as both cautionary tale and beacon. Blooston can lay claim to trailblazer status as a solo performer, but she asks herself and the reader to deeply consider the true meaning of success and the value of a creative life. Her calling, commitment, and longing for recognition will resonate with anyone who has followed a passion, been thwarted in the attempt, and then successfully and happily reinvented themselves. - Inbunden, Engelska, 2025

Award-winning author Roselee Blooston has written a collection of loosely linked personal essays on change, perspective, and renewal. It is a companion piece to Blooston’s first memoir, Dying in Dubai (Apprentice House Press 2016), and begins with her adolescence and early fifties––before her husband’s death––and extends into later life on her own. The essays explore the inner and outer landscape of her move to New York’s Hudson Valley, mining the author’s evolving priorities and self-awareness, as time becomes more precious. The past informs the present, with youth and age in a dialogue that will resonate with readers of any generation.
