I am your irregular witty, full of life, outrageously special girl who has spent my entire life looking for love in all the wrong places. I've dated nearly 50 men over the last eight years and yet had no luck in finding "the one". My book is the tragic comedy based on these dating disasters.
I date. I date and, I date and, well, I date. I don't make our with all of the men. In turn they don't always foot the bill. But I refuse to give up. This book details my greatest dating stories. Simple mishaps like meeting the supposed 5'10" man only to find he's not an inch over 5'6"; and he was inquiring on my measurements? These lead to the further disastrous dates like fracturing my wrist saving one man's life. Or going out with an extremely tearful man that had a higher level of estrogen than any woman I'd ever met. Then there are the crazy encounters of going to the horse races with a gentleman who won $80K, yet not being asked to dinner or even a drink afterwards. Which all lead to the downright unbelievable, hilarious narratives of accepting dates from a mattress salesman to the crook who sold me my car.
"No Job, No Car, No Problem!" will guide you through the highs and lows of the dating world and help you realize you aren't really alone, even if you are single.
Join chick lit author Jenny Silva, author of the nonfiction book "No Job, No Car, No Problem!" as she delves in and out of the dating scene. Jenny is a respected dater and author, specializing in tragic dating affairs. She is an expert on men lacking jobs, cars and commitment and yet she still believes true love exists. Her quirky humor and continuous fresh start outlook allow unfortunate single women of all ages to know things may not be as unlucky as they often seem. Jenny will make your spirit soar with hope and yet let you down easy, much like the game of love in this unbelievable, yet optimistic masterpiece.

Strength and Sensuality [Completed]
A modern Pride and Prejudice story. Only sexier. Mira is a refugee, starting a new life far from home. She has to deal with her troubled past, her son, and her enigmatic boss, while her only weapon is her killer sense of humor. It's a slow-building love-hate story, with a strong female lead; two control freak lawyers, fighting for dominance, in denial of their feelings; an alpha discovering his submissive side; lots of humor and humanism. ~73K words ~~~ Warnings: - Mild language. Characters talk like white-collar workers usually do in real life. - Chapter 43 has mild sexual content. It isn't very graphic, it's emotional, rather, but if you don't want to read about it, just skip it.

Oops! Wrong Car.
highest ranking || #4 on teenfiction || #5 on romance || #2 on new adult || #1 on humor ********************************** I walked outside, found my Uber, and got in the backseat. "Hello." I greeted, before proceeding to tell my driver about the house address. However, I couldn't really do that because as the driver turned around to face me, I realized that Oh! It's Aaron Owens! OH MY GOD. *********************************** Ellie Rosell. Casual teenager trying to get through high school by watching Netflix, eating, spending her money on concerts, and swooning over hot guys. Just when Ellie thought she'll spend her last year of hell known as school with the same boring routine, she met Aaron Owens. And from down there, things changed. For sure. Did they change for the better? Since she's actually making friends, going out, and dare she says, falling in love? Or for the worse? With family secrets, mental health issues, heartbreak, and fake people? After all, she met the one and only Aaron Owens, and he changed her life. *********************************** "Oh my gosh! Author! reading this story was just... I have no words. The adventure you took me on was just dreamy. You made me laugh out loud so hard and you also made me cry. You made me feel the second-hand embarrassments that Ellie felt and it was so lively. You made me feel as if I was Ellie and you gave me hope that I could one day feel the same way as Ellie did towards Aaron. And all of these reasons is why your book is one of the best books I've ever read and let me tell you I've read a lot of books. Thanks for the journey and the hope you have given me!

"Ted, I don't know if I should go." Olive rummaged through her closet to find an outfit for her blind date. "I haven't even found an outfit that matches the vibe!" "Olive...what vibe? You're going to some rinky dinky bar in Texas. Pick something." Olive stared at her floor covered in clothes. It was either nothing matched the look in her head or she didn't like the color. "Are you sure he's 6"3' or are you only saying that so I go on this date?" "If you keep this conversation going I'm going to hang up." Dating is hard. Dating is even harder when you're a med student and have 4 to 6 hours of homework every night. Dating is the hardest when your childhood best friend sets you up with an Internet celebrity and expects you two to have the same life. Whatever, might as well give it a shot. Right?
