Waking Hunger

Carissa is a college senior who has lived a comfortable life. She has, for the most part, played by the rules; excelling scholastically and remaining under the radar as far as any kind of trouble would be concerned. A typical, California raised suburban girl, who has always been considered attractive and likable. With graduation approaching, things are about to change, just as they always do when reaching a milestone. However, life has a way of tripping up the most well laid plans sometimes and sling-shotting events into overdrive. That never happens to a girl like Carissa though. At least it’s not supposed to in her world.

Timing, however, has its hand in everything many will say. Fantasies and their freedom have laid dormant for most of her young adult life, tucked away in a cocoon of safety. She has laid dormant for most of her young adult life; tucked away in a cocoon of safety. Turning a corner at just the right moment seems to blow everything wide open, and the brakes are nowhere to be found for this co-ed. It’s a witty, evolution come alive story, of a woman who can’t find normal anymore˗˗and she wouldn’t want to if possible.

Join Carissa on the recounting of her college days and the comical discoveries, challenges and eventful life that unfolds along the way. Meet her friends, lovers and "insane" family as they intertwine with one another. You may even see a bit of your own life tucked in the shadows of hers. If you went to college, you’ll remember the camaraderie and carefree mentality. For those who were unable, here’s your chance.

About the Author

#Chicklit for admirers of smart & #sexy satire, #romcom banter and #erotic word flavor. Life is hard―kick its ass. Love your fetish. #Collegehumor gone wild.

Author of new adult fiction and romantic comedies. Realistic plots for today's reader, laced in satire and sexy, adult humor. A self-improvement book and an illustrated children's short story book are also available.

My novels tend to bend towards a real-time and satirical view of the world with regards to all relationships˗˗friendships, lovers, family, education, career, all of it. There is no normal despite the fact that some spend a lifetime pursuing it. Normalcy is in the dysfunction of life. It's there; that the real fun and our most memorable times are created. Without loose threads, there is no laughter, no surprise, no reason to seek out anything or anyone. Simply put, I love characters who do what they want to do and make no excuses about it. They thrive and grow on experiences, which is exactly what the goal should be˗˗total freedom with no regret.

I am a voracious reader when I'm not writing. My interests vary quite a bit with what I read and I guess that's what keeps me constantly searching for new concepts and perceptions. Nothing wrong with the classics mind you. Discovery can be found everywhere and it's enjoyable to see the birthing of imagination in others as they put pen to paper.

It's also fair to say that I am very much a lover of the solitude and beauty that nature offers. Whether it be a lone sandy beach in the tropics, the gorgeous high country in Arizona or the ominous forests of upstate New York, I enjoy all of it. From time to time, I'll frequent a local brewery for a stout or two, but I certainly would never throw my nose up at a nice glass of red in the night time hours. Especially a rainy night with that perfect new book. Cheers!
