Maria Leona's life is perfectly on track-except for one major thing: her love life.
She's about to turn twenty-five and has never even had a proper boyfriend. Her dating experience? Zero. Her confidence in meeting The One? Below zero. She needs help, and fast, before her family resorts to setting her up on disastrous blind dates.
Enter Rafael, her corporate friend who also happens to be a ridiculously good-looking and annoyingly charming gentleman. Rafael has harbored a secret crush on Leona forever, and when he hears her lamenting her "man-drought," he sees his chance.
He proposes a deal: A month of "fake dating" lessons.
Leona is hesitant. A month with Rafael? It's a risk, especially since his kilig smiles and effortless charm are already major distractions. But with her twenty-fifth birthday looming and her zero experience screaming at her, she reluctantly agrees.
One month to learn how to date. One month to keep their hands-and feelings-strictly platonic. One month for a fake relationship to turn alarmingly real.
Will Maria Leona finally learn how to land a boyfriend, or will she realize that the perfect "fake" one has been waiting for her all along?

After countless rejections from big publishers, Zade decides to take matters into his own hands and self-publish. For the first time since leaving university, he feels like he's finally making progress. One book turns into two, then three, then four... still, nothing big comes his way. Yet, Zade refuses to give up. At least he has his small bookshop, his safe haven and platform to promote his work. But when that, too, is suddenly taken from him, Zade is left at rock bottom, questioning everything he's ever believed in. When dedication fades and inspiration runs dry, can Zade find the spark to write again... or maybe discover something even deeper than his art?

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
