Description
Free-spirited English professor, ANITA FARLEIGH, thinks she has it all — her ambitious boyfriend, ZACH, and a teaching career that actually pays her to travel. Then, ten days before Christmas, Anita returns home from a work trip in Shanghai to discover that Zach has dumped her for a scrapbooking domestic goddess with enough faux fur ottomans to fill a Hobby Lobby showroom.
On one of the worst days of her life, a hungover, disheveled Anita shows up for a routine doctor’s appointment and meets OSCAR, a medical professional who just happens to be compassionate, funny, and absurdly handsome. When Oscar keeps showing up in her life, Anita can’t deny their chemistry (Is it her fault that Oscar fills out his scrubs in exactly the right places?). Or their terrible timing (It’d be wrong to fall for someone so soon after a bad breakup. Right?). Neither can she ignore her emerging wish for stability as steadfast Oscar challenges her penchant for living with one foot out the door.
When a remorseful Zach reappears, wanting to woo back his world traveler, Anita must decide whether to follow familiar flight patterns or finally open her heart and make a safe landing.
About the Author
A
fter my twenty-year career teaching college English in the U.S., South Korea, and China, I’m now a full-time writer with a soft spot for romantic comedy.
During my MFA program (graduated in 2019—a bit later in life, y’all), I wrote my travel memoir, Unsettled, which was a labor of love. While for years I devoted myself to literary writing (I’ve published a bunch of essays and short stories in various literary journals), my heart now belongs to writing romcoms. My romantic comedy, Anita Farleigh Unpacks, will be released early 2024. My hope is that it will crack open readers’ hearts and souls and make their faces hurt (in a good way) from laughing so hard.
I’m originally from upstate New York (Go, Rochester!) and now live in the outskirts of Austin, Texas (and I do love my truck) where I’m beyond lucky to get to spend loads of time with my awesome daughter and son-in-law, my adorable agility dog, and my amazing husband, Bruce, the man of my love story dreams.
