Annalise Caine never had a boyfriend before. Not because she's plain, simple, and boring. The real reason? Her standards are too high- she prefers fictional characters over real men. Her solution to her loneliness? Create her own perfect boyfriend with the help of her favorite fictional characters. What will happen when she meets two equally handsome brothers who will fight to capture her heart? Can she decide between them before she ran out of time, or will she stay in the arms of her imaginary boyfriend?

The good girl falls for the bad boy. But what if there is more to Sin Carter than a bad attitude, tattoos and piercings? And what if there is more to Taylor Price than the fact she has always followed the rules and done what she was told? Their pasts haunt them. Sin is trying to break free from his dark past while Taylor lives each day trying to forget about the horrors that marred her childhood. When they meet, their physical attraction is undeniable. One night is not enough for either of them. *Please note this is only a five chapter sample of the published book.

Think Mackenzie is the regular type of nerd? Well, you thought wrong! Mackenzie is one of the girls that are: •Pretty •Popular •Rich And •SPOILT. SHE is the type of girl that cannot find ANYTHING to wear, even with a walk in closet. She is the one who has MOST of the guys trippin' and flippin' towards her. And SHE is the party type. There is only one little tragic flaw in this spoilt girl which YOU would consider lucky: She loves tiny children. When all her parties are stopped to go to the 'baby project program' she is Excited! But this program brings something special to her life. Read on to find out!

[NOTE: This book was written in 2010, a time of long-distance phone cards, weight-loss obsessions, and searching for a man as a solution to life's problems-what a messy time to be alive! In other words, I hope you enjoy this throwback, and while this book does end on a cliffhanger of sorts, the sequel addresses any unanswered questions (which is hopefully fair, given that book 1 is free, ya know?] An awkward family homecoming at Christmas. A humiliating public weigh-in, with two judging parents as the audience. The announcement of a deadline for arranged marriage doom. And that's just the first two chapters. In "Year of the Chick," Romi Narindra must find love before her parents find her a husband. Easy to say, less easy to live through, as this book takes you deep inside "awkward Indian living in the West." To escape her fate, Romi wades through the waters of secret-dating, where self-consciousness is at an all-time high, and experience at an all-time low. It's the sort of thing that would turn almost anyone into a man-crazy freak with romance tunnel-vision, and that's exactly what ends up happening. All the while, a lack of inspiration in her corporate job leads Romi to her love of writing, in what quickly becomes a man-quest play-by-play. From whiskey-breath scum bags to uni-brow creeps and everything in between, Romi and her wingmen come up empty time after time. And that's when she meets a fellow writer. On the Internet. So will it be arranged marriage doom, or an Internet affair that's not as creepy as "To Catch a Predator"? Time will tell in the "year of the chick," a twelve-month quest to find love. Tick-tock. --------------------------------------------- "Year of the Chick" is book one of a series, and book two is available at Amazon!
