Produktbeschreibung

A secret crush. A filthy lie. A disastrous reunion. And a little present set to make an event more memorable...unless the wrong wire is cut and it all goes out with a bang. When I see him, for the first time since high school, I still cringe. Clearly, all those years were not enough. Nixon is as cocky and short-sighted as he always was, only this time, he's an acclaimed actor. It seems that he's forgotten all the heartache he caused me back in the day, but when it all comes to him, I'm met with a surprising fact that brings me back to earth. All this, on the night of the Academy Awards party, where my biggest client, Kayla, takes the stage and has her coveted moment. In the same breath, as she finishes her game-changing speech, we're all met with something we don't expect, and suddenly Kayla is not the only bomb. *** If she walked a mile in my shoes, she wouldn't be focusing on some high school prank. But Rene is no more matured than she was when we were kids. Nobody knows the truth and as far as I'm concerned, we can keep it that way. Some old high school flame with a stick up her ass that's been stuck there since her teens, is the last thing I need. Except that when the chips come down, she's the only one there for the carnage. And then she learns the truth, and her eyes say something way different than they said when we were kids. But after lines are blurred and rules are broken, can we pick up where we left off? I'm not sure. And then the flash of a camera and a mic shoved in my face leads me to where I need to be...

Autorenporträt

Some have said that if you see me on the street (usually with a book in hand or a laptop fired up), I appear a cold, hard-fisted person. However, once we've spoken for five minutes or less, you'll have laughed at least once. That is, provided you appreciate sarcastic, self-deprecating wit.

My first short story was penned in middle school and I was hooked ever since.

I graduated with honours from Humber College and began working as an Administrative Coordinator for a large, multinational corporation shortly afterward. Quickly learning that the corporate world, despite the love I had for my job, is a slow killer of creativity, I chose to quit during maternity leave in 2006.

Difficulty thinking outside the box soon evaporated when I received something that didn't come in one: my first child. While at home with the baby my imaginative energy got the better of me and my first memoir was written. It had been a dream of mine to write about my late father, who passed away from alcoholism in 1992, and it took me two years to compose a fifty-page manuscript, but I did it.

After my second daughter was born in 2008 I had more fuel to write, and felt it necessary to voice the challenges and inherent gifts I acquired during my struggles with Scoliosis. Hence, my second memoir was born. The words flowed out of me with such ease I shocked myself.

My love for words grew with each book I read and every word I wrote. I soon realized I had no more material to write non-fiction, which led me to take a stab at fiction. The next two books were such a revelation: it became more and more clear what my true calling was. The rest, as they say, is history!
