Zeises, an adjunct UD English department faculty member and award-winning young adult novelist, wrote the book True Confessions of a Hollywood Starlet under the nom de plume Lola Douglas.
Lifetime describes the movie as the story of teen actress Morgan Carter, who is " a Hollywood princess, until the day that her hard-partying ways get the best of her. After she collapses outside a Hollywood nightclub, Morgan's mother sends her to live incognito in the wilds of Fort Wayne, Ind., with her Aunt Trudy."
Entertainment Weekly calls the movie "surprisingly self-aware fun," and The Hollywood Reporter dubbed it "a little gem of a movie."
Zeises holds a bachelor's degree in English/journalism from UD as well as a master's of fine arts degree in creative writing from Emerson College. In addition, she received an Emerging Artist Fellowship in Literature and Fiction from the Delaware Division of the Arts and was the winner of the Delacorte Press Prize Honor for her book, Bringing Up the Bones.
