Do you all remember how I participated in NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) in 2016? Well, after a lot of hard work, I’m pleased to say that “Happy Scoops,” the first novel of my stand-alone series, Clean and Quirky Romance, will be published just in time for a little Valentine’s Day Reading Indulgence. Woohoo!
Here is the back blurb of this romantic comedy/parody, Happy Scoops:
Chryssa Parker is about to start her senior year of high school and she knows that it’s going to be totes amazing.
As Team Captain of the Cheerleading Squad and President of the Student Body Government, Chryssa is ready to be the smartest and hottest that Intellectual Elite has ever graduated.
However, when a pile of traffic infractions show up in the Parker mailbox, Chryssa’s lawyer parents decide it’s time for Chryssa to learn some responsibility.
Forced to become a sign dancer dressed as a cone at her parent’s ice cream shop, Chryssa doesn’t think she’ll ever survive the job. Obligated to give up so much of her life, Chryssa is completely surprised when she learns what makes her truly Happy.
I’m going to tell you right now–this project was FUN! From taking the basic idea that had been dancing around my mind for three years, finishing it for NaNoWriMo2016, to designing the cover with my husband with real ice cream from our very favorite ice cream shop, Frite and Scoop in Astoria, OR, it’s been a blast. A lot of hard work, but super fun!
By the way, if you are ever in Astoria, head on in to Frite and Scoop–you will not be disappointed! Their handmade ice creams and Belgian fries are seriously incredible.
Intrigued? Well, here is the cover for this fun and spunky romance that I hope will get you excited to read it.
There are about a million things that I love about being an author, but my favorites would be that I get to try out new stories and finish the ones that suit me, and I constantly improve. I’m so proud of Happy Scoops–both process and writing show my growth and I’m excited for others to see that, too.
