Get a copy of Love Trips!
I did it. I finally finished my book. It’s been a long time coming. As you may recall, I’ve been working on Love Trips since late 2009. But, what others may not know is that Love Trips has been in the making since 2005.

I had never seen a kayak fisherman. At first, approaching the beached, bright yellow plastic boat with all its rigging, and the blond fisherman himself in his hefty gaiters, with an official-looking document swinging like a press pass around his neck, I thought I'd stumbled across a researcher.

"You really look lovely tonight, Kat."
"And you, Nate," I teased, "you really do need to get that Lasik surgery you've been hinting at."

I'm doing the online dating thing. There. Full confession (or will be...If I find I have the nerve).

“Are you sure there’s crab in this?” Anna asked a waiter passing by as she, her friend Neal and I sat before a shared plate of crab cakes at a local eatery one Sunday.
