Author Motivation:
When I sat down to write my series I created characters I liked. I wanted the women to be smart, have their heads on strait, be part of a group of supportive friends, and have a positive relationship with their family. I wanted the guys to be the men you really want to meet -- good guys, who work hard, and treat women with respect.

For Juliette, I depart from the typical romance plot where the two main characters are absorbed with each other and have a misunderstanding during the mid point lull. Instead I take you through Juliette's day. Juliette works as an engineer at a Silicon Valley start-up and is busy with her strong group of friends. Initially I alternate chapters with four distinct threads - work, roommate, friends, and men. When Juliette chooses her man, the book becomes a more traditional romance novel.
