AT FIRST, DAISY IGNORES HER CAT’S DATING ADVICE.

Daisy will turn 40 in eleven months and has never married. Her family figures Daisy is a loser because she is still in college trying to avoid paying off her student loans which have amassed over 22 years of a miseducation. And all Daisy has is a cat to keep her company. To make the crises worse, her cat begins talking to Daisy, when she is sober! The mess of Daisy’s life is even kookier because the cat is cursing and smoking now and drinking more alcoholic beverages. Mm, there must be a connection to all this flowing alcohol, which may explain the bubbly in Daisy’s brain. Her sisters and mother insist on setting Daisy up on six blind dates and all the men are named after liquor.

A heartwarming, LOL book that will make you smile.

Read an Excerpt:

Her heart stopped at the sound of claws coming down the hallway.

What is that rolling sound?

There was the sound of heavy breathing at the door followed by, “I brought you a bottle of wine, dearie,” the cat said, cackling like an old witch.

She tiptoed over to the door. “I suppose you have a poisoned apple, too, in that filthy paw of yours.”

“I didn’t bring a wormy apple. Would you like a nice unopened bottle of Pinot Noir instead?”

Daisy twisted a fist in her yellow Adult Cinderella nightgown. Her big toe stuck out of her slippers. She did not drink this early in the day or was even up on a Saturday morning, but her sisters had banged on the bedroom window. Aunt Davina slammed a picture of Jesus against the window and screamed, “Pray to God, Daisy, that The Man watching football from the clouds will toss you a husband as good as my John! Maybe you will catch a Matthew or a Peter!”

“I dated a Peter once and he was really a dick,” Daisy yelled back.

Given the day she was having, a morning drink could hit the I-feel-good-about-myself spot right on.

Daisy should act strong and tell the cat to go catch a mouse.

On the other hand, a stiff drink would calm the lizards jogging around her brain. The mind racing was due to her new mad-as-a-hatter relationship with her cat.

“Uh, a glass of wine would be good,” she squeaked.

  1. Thanks for hosting!

  2. Bea LaRocca says

    Great cover and excerpt. This sounds like a fun read.

    • Sorry, I meant to reply and commented instead. Thanks so much, Bea. I did the cover myself. I searched for a cover to purchase and could not find one that even came close to reflecting my hilarious book. I used to be a web developer but rarely make my own covers nowadays because I’m busy working on new books. And there are some marvelous covers made by very talented people. During the writing of Single and Looking, I created 7 covers for my Secret Lives of Sisters series. It helped to make all the covers since it provided character development, plotting of future books, and hints of story lines to come. Now for the hard part! I have to write the other six books!

  3. Thanks Long and Short Reviews to for hosting Single and Looking, Daisy. I will be hanging around most of the day so drop in if you would like to chat in any way shape or form. In the meantime, have a nice day! Belinda

  5. Thanks so much. I did the cover myself. I searched and searched for a cover to purchase and of course, none reflected my crazy book. I used to be a web developer but rarely make my own covers nowadays because I’m busy working on new books. And there are some wonderful covers out there made by some talented people. BUT, I have created 7 covers for my Secret Lives of Sisters series. It helped to make all the covers since it provided some character development and hints of story lines to come. Now I just have to write the other six books, which are all standalone books!

  6. Happy Friday! Thanks for sharing the great post 🙂

    Single and Looking sounds like a fun read. Thank you

  8. Bernie Wallace says

    Congrats on the release. Who is your favorite character in the book?

    • Thanks for the congrats, Bernie.

      Well, I love the cat Shakespeare because of the things that come out of that cats mouth. He, also, has this cat view of things like when he helps Daisy with her “pimple” problem by telling her to put a Friskie’s chicken pate on her face which matches her complexion. The cat doesn’t mince words with his dating advice.

      And then I decided to give Daisy a happy ending because I ended up liking her so much because she’s such a bubblehead but in a cute fashion.
