Well, I finally wrote the last chapter of my next book, Vegas to Varanasi, a romantic comedy. I hope it will be something readers enjoy. So now, I just have to patiently await editing and my cover, which I cannot wait to see! I thought I would share the blurb, and I want to thank a few ladies for letting me bounce it off their eyes, so to speak, and for helping me flesh it out: Brea Brown, Patricia Mann, Samantha Stroh Bailey, Corie Skolnick, Carolyn Ridder Aspenson, and Wendy Janes. Thanks, ladies. You rock!

Anna has never been the beautiful one; she’s always been the nice one. So when the gorgeous man sitting across the table at a wedding reception remembers her from high school—and quite fondly at that—she’s taken off guard. Formerly overweight and unpopular, Kiran has never forgotten Anna, the one person who was kind to him when no one else could be bothered, and Anna’s a bit flustered as she slowly comes to grips with his intense attraction for her. In what feels like a romantic dream come true, all-grown-up, hunky Kiran invites Anna on a trip to Varanasi. But her troubled, whack-a-do ex-boyfriend starts interfering, creating drama at every turn, which begs the question, “Can nice girls really finish first?”
