A soul-searching writer in San Francisco
named Max meets Stella, a smart-mouthed, mysterious throwback of a girl
who turns his life upside down. Or is she turning it back right-side up? A
novel of romance, comedy, mystery and suspense with paranormal and science
fiction elements, YBandTG is a Romance with a big "R." The
Romance of a world where just about anything can happen and probably
will; a world of infinite possibility, synchronicity and dreams become
real.
But I'll be straight with you: It's mostly about dancing, kissing and
cocktails.
Status: I'm currently writing the 5th draft of the book.
Excerpt:
I awoke the next morning feeling as if I
were born with her in my arms. Actually, that's kind of a gross
image. Skip
that.
She said in sleepy voice: "Can you cook too?"
"Hell yeah," I said then broke into an embarrassing coughing
fit.
She said, "You're not going to die on me already are you?
This early in the romance it would be a comedy not a tragedy."
I laughed, which transitioned into more coughing.
She said, "So are you going to live long enough to cook me
breakfast?"
"No," I said. "I mean, I'm not going to cook you breakfast.
I'm sending you home."
"
You're not," she said, unbelieving, then emphasized her disbelief
with an elbow to my stomach.
"No, I'm not. I'm taking you out. Someone else can cook."
"That's fine," she said. "Breakfast in bed isn't as romantic
as it sounds."
"Oh, I don't know," I said, sliding under the covers.
"Oh," she said, suddenly the wiser.
