Charlie lost her parents when she was five years old while on their way home from church. She has suffered from survivors gulit ever since. Now she is 19, she wants no part of any church, or anyone else who looks at her with those eyes full of pity she never asked for. While waiting for her sophmore year in college, she starts working for a library to make some extra money. She never counted on the manager, a 41 year old woman who used every opportunity to 'preach the good news of Christ the living God' being so... intresting. Although she's a little odd, especially with her belief, she never pushes them down Charlie's throat. Now she just has to deal with the nosey woman trying to 'introduce' her to some guy she's never met, and the guilt and pain of her parents death after all these years, as well as the fascination with the God her employer seems to have such faith in. Will she let God in, or blame Him for her parents death? And better yet, will the nosey woman with the strange ways be the key to Charlotte Beauclaire forgiving herself? You'll just have to read to find out.

Even now at 19 years old, you still haven't done those things. All throughout your life, you've been enclosed in your house, praying more times than you've bathed. But months after moving out of your parent's house into the dorms of an aggressively Christian college, you begin to feel yourself change, you get the feeling of rebellion against a religion you've been stuck in since birth. But one man can change your life forever.

Year of the Chick (book 1 in the "Year of the Chick" series)
[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!Complete

Twelve years later, she wants to go visit her mother in New York but the visit becomes five years. Samantha, now seventeen and certainly not a tomboy anymore, is ready to go back to Ohio, to her family and friends, but mostly to her father. No one expects her, though, to come back looking like a a new person. But looking like a goddess does not change the fact that she is still mateless and also next in line for the Alpha position, a huge responsibility. Noah Black has lived in Ohio for as long as he can remember, with his six brothers and father. His mother died giving birth to her youngest son, Thresh. Noah has always been the one to pull pranks and tease Samantha, making her life miserable as they grew up together. When she left, there was no one else to annoy, but now, five years later, when Noah hears that she is coming back, he thinks that she is still that same tomboy who can't stand up for herself. He has become even more of a badboy now, loving all the trouble and the girls that throw themselves at him. And yes, he is mateless and, just because his older brother passed it down, is next in line for the Alpha position. So what happens when they meet again, five years later, more grown and more mature? Is there hatred between them, still? And what happens when they both realize they are connected in ways they never could've dreamed of? Suck at summaries, give it a chance, y'all! :)Complete
