Brief Author Bio:

I just relocated to the Seattle area, and took a job in wholesale wine distribution. I have always wanted to write and for some reason I can never get started. Something about a blank page overwhelms me. I got about halfway through my novel last year and then got the flu and fell off the wagon. I lost the entire work when my computer crashed earlier this year. Now I back up my work :) . I still have a lot of ideas and want to be able to say that I finished writing a novel.

Synopsis: Help Wanted

Aria Dorsey is a 27 year old widow looking to make it in the real world. Married young, she dropped out of college one semester short of finishing when her husband was killed in a military training accident. Five years later, she has finally managed to finish her degree and is ready to move out of her father's house and start her life. She takes the last of her life insurance money and moves to San Fransisco with big ideas about life. She finds, however, that with few conenctions, an English degree and no real work experience, starting a career is more difficult than anticipated. Aggravated and confused, Aria begins doing everything she can think of to find herself in the big city.
