Noah Anderson had everything: a career as an actor, millions of fans, the good looks, and a beautiful girlfriend who thought the world of him. But for him, that wasn't enough, so he left America leaving his English lifestyle and everything behind. Or so he thought, for he left behind a son, a son he doesn't know about...

[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!

Natalie has never been in love. But on a fateful day, she finds a mysterious daisy in her locker. And it came with a letter from a guy admitting he was totally in love with her. Who could it be? But in the letter, her secret admirer gives her a riddle to another clue. If she ever wanted to know who he was, she'd have to play his game. With the help of Delilah and Jake, her best friends, this game will be a piece of cake. But is it actually possible that Natalie is falling in love for the first time with a guy she doesn't even know? And what happens when you find out the person you were falling so hard for, wasn't exactly who you expected? (All For A Daisy is a story inspired by I'm Only Me When I'm With You by Taylor Swift. I know that song isn't about daisies but I thought it added a sweet little twist to it. This was for TaylorShaeee's Challenge when I was still on booksie.) Author's note (July 2014): Please keep in mind this was written in 2008-2009 when I was 14, so it's super cliche and cheesy, but I respect my 14-year-old self for being brave enough to voice and finish a story like this. I look back on this story as my starting point, and my writing style has evolved immensely since then. But anyway, I hope you like it! Happy reading!
