About Me

Enough about me--really. I've got a book out, My Booty Novel.
Let me tell you about that:
Thirty-two-year-old writer, Damian Cross, has just returned from a disastrous first book tour only to be dumped by his fiancée. Now newly-single for the first time in seven years, he has to pick up the pieces, start his life all over again, and write a second novel.
Damian blogs his way through today's dating scene and all its hazards—.. dating, biological clocks, single mothers and their children, well-meaning friends, ex-girlfriends, and his meddling, matchmaking cousin—to find that the only thing that stands between him and success may actually be himself. Can Damian stop his world from crumbling around him and get it together in time to gain a chance at true happiness and write the “booty novel” everyone's telling him to write?
You can check it out at:www.mybootynovel.com
