[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! LENGTH: 75,000 words or 285 pages DISCLAIMER: this book contains profanities, blunt accounts of the dating scene, and many awkward family moments. Enjoy!

“I suggest you watch your tone, sweetheart” he spits at me. He brings his arm down, dragging his finger down the side of my face, “If you insist on provoking me I can't help what will happen” he leans even closer to me so our noses are side by side, a breath away from touching. “To you” he breaths on my lips. He's going to kiss me; I can’t let that happen, not again, especially after what he did! I shut my eyes, my mind is racing as I tried thinking of something to do, I sense his lips getting closer and closer to mine. Why do I always seem to be in this situation! Then, it descends upon me, with nothing else to do I decide to try it out. Just as I feel heat pour over my lips, I bring my knee up. I feel this entire body instantly contort in pain before sliding down my body and landing with a thud on the ground. As I open my eyes, tension flows out of my body as I see him groaning in agony. I lean down, anger fuelled adrenalin pumping through me. “If you ever touch me again, I will make you suffer” I growl.
