Top 10 Reasons to Read my Book

Me in LA back in the day.

I'm an avid reader but I understand how hard it can be to take a chance on a new writer. I mean I watched Cindy Crawford's Meaningful Beauty informercial that promised me the fountain of youth but I still wouldn't let myself fork over fifty bucks.

The good news is that my book is cheaper than the fountain of youth. It's only $3.99 for the e-book. That's the same price as a grande latte.

And if you are over the age of 25 (Maggie's age) this story will take you back to that youthful time of yore. If you are younger, you will probably relate to Maggie's struggles as she pursues her dreams and tries to find love in the big city.

Still not convinced? Here are ten more reasons to read my debut novel:

1. There's a hot rancher in it. This list could really end here.

2. You loved Bridget Jones's Diary and hope Dating Maggie is half as entertaining.

3. Holidays are around the corner and you need a unique gift to lift a friend's spirits.

4. You know me, maybe by my "real" name and you're curious what's under the cover.

5. It's fall and you are looking for escape in the pages of this modern love story.

6. You like to be able to tell folks at parties that you are a "Patron of the Arts."

7. Getting to the sexy/humorous sex scenes sounds like fun.

8. You are a big-city dreamer just like the main character.

9. It's time to renew your license at the DMV and you need something to read while you wait.

10. Your book club needs a new story to discuss over wine.

But wait, there's more.

Bonus reason:
You live or have lived in LA or Portland, OR and enjoy reading stories that are set there.

My Friend Amber Roshay's Book: Reaching Prague

Amber and I met in college. Our common interests have included college theatre department rebellion, living abroad, creative urban dwelling and writing. She's one of the most talented writers I've encountered. Her writing is compelling, emotionally raw, it's simply spell-binding. She's just published her novel, Reaching Prague and will soon have her second title, How the fat girl got thin published. If you're in the market for a sweet spring read, check out the synopsis and the link to her website below: Reaching Prague is a darkly psychological tale of adultery set in contemporary Prague. Betrayed by her husband, Sarah Billings flees to Prague in an effort to cope his duplicity and to figure out the rest of her life. In Prague she meets Mikul, a handsome bar owner with mafia ties, who at first seems to be exactly what she needs. Soon they are conducting an illicit affair filled with erotic tension, painful awakenings and looming violence. Slo...

Nonfiction vs. Fiction...What to Write Next

My computer at my new writing desk. Over the past few weeks I have been typing out every book idea that pops into my head. There have been some fiction ideas, a premise for a sequel to Sarah Starting Over , some nonfiction pitches and a few log-lines for memoirs. They are currently living on a word document called "book ideas." It's been a struggle choosing just one idea to develop right now. I've recently finished a romance that I co-wrote with my writing partner Amber Roshay . That will make three romances written in just over a year. It's been a whirlwind of learning to craft love stories. And I have a lot more to learn about writing good fiction. Joanna Penn is an author of both fiction and nonfiction. Her assertion is that writing nonfiction is a palette cleanser after writing fiction, and that notion really clicked with me. I've also been inspired because I am reading a memoir, Meghan Daum's "Life Would Be Perfect if I Lived in That...
