The Magic of San Francisco in the 1980s: A Journey Through Time in 'Nantucket'

Step into the bustling streets of 1980s San Francisco, where the aroma of curry chicken fills a Chinese restaurant between 2nd and Market Street, and destiny unfolds over a simple lunch hour. This is where our story begins in 'Nantucket' - the first book in the 25YrsAgo series.

A Tale of Two Worlds Colliding

In August 1984, Lydia sits across from a mysterious man in his mid-20s, sporting designer glasses and an air of sophistication. He's engrossed in Time magazine featuring Nantucket on the cover - a detail that would prove more significant than either could imagine. What starts as a chance encounter in a restaurant becomes the foundation of a story that spans decades.

The Golden Age of San Francisco

The 1980s were a transformative time for San Francisco. The 49ers had just won their first Super Bowl in 1982, the tech industry was beginning to bloom, and the city pulsed with an energy that would later define Silicon Valley. Our story captures this pivotal moment when dreams seemed within reach and a sleek Porsche 911 could change everything.

From Dot-Com Dreams to Y2K Reality

Fast-forward to September 1999, just three months before Y2K, and San Francisco has transformed into the epicenter of the dot-com boom. Job-hopping every three months was common, startups had six-month lifecycles, and millionaires in their mid-20s parked convertible Mercedes with the tops down, unlocked, in the City by the Bay. This is the world where our characters navigate love, ambition, and the rapidly changing landscape of technology.

Why 'Nantucket' Resonates Today

In our current digital age, there's something deeply compelling about stories that explore the human connections that transcend time and technology. 'Nantucket' isn't just about the past - it's about understanding how the choices we make in pivotal moments shape our destiny. Whether it's Lydia's hesitation about picking up the phone or Brian's anguished voice on the other end, these moments of human vulnerability feel as relevant today as they did 25 years ago.
