Author SiteAbout the author:
35 year old mother of two. I write under a pen name due to the nature of my day job. I love writing. This is my first book. I just published it on Amazon.
What inspired you to write your book?
I recently finished my university degree. I had to write a lot of essays on things I didn't really want to write about. I had the idea for Leap Before You Look brewing for a long time but I just didn't have the time to sit down and write. This past summer, I was dealing with the loss of my father and i needed an escape for life. My book provided me with that.
Here is a short sample from the book:
I sat on the sofa with my hands folded in my lap, waiting for the inevitable explosion. The clicking of the grandfather clock was amplified by the silence in the room. My parents had not said a word since I finished outlining the details of my job offer.
The color slowly drained from my mother’s face as she stared at me with wide eyes. My dad crossed his arms and pressed his lips together in a tight frown.
The smell of pot roast invaded my nostrils, evoking a mighty growl from my stomach. Mavis Montgomery was not a great cook, but it always amazed me that she could work until four thirty and put a full course meal on the table by six.
Dad cleared his throat and glanced over at my mother before turning his steely grey eyes onto me. "The answer is no."
"It’s my decision. I don’t need your permission." I clenched my fists at my sides.
"You are going to ruin your life if you do this," he said.
Mom leaned forward with her hands clasped under her chin. "Kari, please tell us that you are not actually considering this."

Shopping for a Billionaire’s Fiancee by Julia Kent
All of our best dates end up in the emergency room….
I planned the perfect proposal. Plenty of lobster, caviar, champagne and–her favorite–tiramisu. The perfect setting. The perfect woman.
The perfect everything.
Dad gave me my late mother’s engagement ring, platinum and diamonds galore. Shannon wouldn’t care if I slid a giant hard-candy ring on her finger instead of a three-carat diamond designed to impress. But my future mother-in-law, Marie, will pass out when she sets eyes on that rock, and that will give us two minutes of blessed silence. That woman talks more than Kim Kardashian flashes her naked backside on the internet.
I was going to make it perfect, from the color of the tablecloth to the freshness of the roses.
And it was perfect.
Until Shannon swallowed the ring.
