What inspired you to write your book?
In 2009 there weren’t any books about college aged characters or someone who failed out of college, so since I couldn’t read it, I wrote my own.
Here is a short sample from the book:
Well we both didn’t think our first time together should be in the front seat of his car, but I really thought that I should make up my stupidness of the night to him.
“Libby, I don’t think we should be doing this out here.” Blaine stammered, trying his best to keep his attention away from me.
“Come on Blaine. We are out in the middle of nowhere and no one will have to find out.” I looked up at him, batting my eyelashes and pursing my lips.
“Well…if you insist…” He grinned.
I tried to lean back, but realized that I was caught. Okay I was actually, really caught and something was pulling on my hair.
“OW.” I screeched as I furiously started yanking my head back and forth.
“What the hell, Libby?” Blaine’s eyes widened as he lifted his arms in the air.
“I’m caught on something.” I stammered, finally stopping to inspect what I was caught on.
Blaine looked down and covered his mouth, trying to stifle his laughter. “Honey, your hair is caught on my belt buckle.”
I looked down to see a big chunk of my hair wrapped around his bright green John Deere belt buckle.
“Ack!” I waved my arms in the air, like I was scratching at nothing. “Get it out, get it out!”
He laughed again, but this time he stifled it quicker. “Alright baby, calm down.” He put his hand on the top of my head. “Now you are going to have to lean back down, so I’m not ripping your hair out.”
I leaned my head back down on his lap as Blaine finagled with the belt buckle, trying to pull out the blonde strands without hurting me.
“Oh shit.” he mumbled.
“What?” I looked up, hoping not to see a huge clump of my hair in his hands.
“COP. COP. COP.” Blaine screamed as he stared into his rearview mirror.
I tried to lift my head up, but then he pushed it back down, hitting the exact spot I had hit on the floor at the bar on the steering wheel. “OW!” I screeched, ripping that last piece of my hair out of Blaine’s belt buckle.
“Aw baby I’m sorry.” He kissed the top of my head quickly and tried to straighten out his belt.

Regrettably single, she is desperate to have a white-hot love relationship, like those she’s read about in romance novels.

Though he’s knocked out of the contest, he’s still in the running to become Ellie’s blue-eyed soul mate—until he’s accused of killing off the competition. It’s not unusual that the handsome police detective working the case is spending more time pursuing Ellie than collaring suspects.

SUNRISE FROM AN ICY HEART: A MEMOIR by Claudette Alexander
Four years of daily passionate loving, near the ocean, in the car, during moonlight days and sunset horizons, coupled with glasses of rum punch, came to a halt when thick lipped, Linus Hyacinth, emigrated from St. Lucia to Canada in October 1972 in search of greener pastures.
In the midst of trying to adjust to the extreme changes in climate, he searches for work as an architectural draftsman. Miserable and missing his lover, he worries about her loyalty amidst a sea of man-peckers. He writes her weekly professing his love and his desire for her to join him.
Nine months later, June 1973, the naive Claudette Alexander, sets off on her journey in pursuit of love and prosperity. In Canada, love takes on a different direction as she tries to adjust to Linus’ broken promises, culture shock, racism and single parenting.
As she embarks on the sea of love, she encounters stormy weather and her heart gets as frigid as the North American winters. It will take a special man to crack through her icy heart.
After four failed relationships, she meets Malcolm James. He is quiet, patient and soft spoken and has loved her when he first met her as a teenager. He has yearned and longed for her. Crossed the ocean, and had his fair share of failed relationships.
But Malcolm needs to break down these walls and bore through her icy heart to rescue her from herself and get to the sunrise as she battles kidney failure.

Dating In The Dark: sometimes love just pretends to be blind by Pete Sortwell
Jason is single and has been for all of his 32 years. It’s depressing. But not as depressing as being told by his mother that he looks like Humpty Dumpty – after the accident. With a face that not even his own mother can love, it’s hardly surprising that he’ll try anything to get a woman to go out with him, even if it’s only for a single date. With little interest in anything other than his quest for a woman and a nice bit of cod and chips, Jason needs to think outside the box if he’s going to find someone who’ll give him a chance. Along with Barry — his best mate — Jason comes up with the only thing he thinks will work: dating a blind woman. However, to do that, he needs to pretend he’s blind himself, which is a lot harder than you might think … especially when guide dogs are so hard to come by. Eventually Jason’s efforts pay off and he meets Emma, a pretty professional with a host of friends. When he takes her out, they instantly hit it off. But will Jason be able to fool both Emma and her best friend Jerry into thinking he’s blind? With everything to play for, Jason faces the biggest challenge of his life, and nobody — especially not him — can see how it’ll all turn out.
