The synopsis of my upcoming book follows. This blog post is simple. You are the wonderful supporters who have been there from the beginning. You know me and you know my story. When I went to New York City, the people in “the know” in the publishing world suggested that my memoir might need a new title.
I recently held a title contest on my Facebook Group page and here are the finalists in survey format (poll/survey to the right). I’ve also included the original title because maybe, “It ain’t broke.” Fish Hugger is joining with me to offer delicious prizes to the winner(s) so your vote really counts.
Please vote in the survey for the title you think most effectively describes the book based on the synopsis and also has the most catchy “hook.” Thanks again for your input!
Synopsis
When my daughter asked Santa Claus for a new Daddy, I set out to find her one using Internet dating; two hundred thirty seven first dates later, what she got was a new Mom instead. My memoir chronicles the lessons this teacher learned from each date and my struggles as a single mom.
Over the course of my odyssey, I was fired from a job for premarital sex, brought up on pornography charges, and gained my independence after an abusive marriage when I received first my Master’s Degree and then my PhD in Education. I was stalked by dangerous men, and had more dating disasters than I care to remember. If the man with the dungeon in his basement, the crack addict, and the man who was really a woman weren’t enough, I have a family who is almost as neurotic as me. And my daughter, Leah, developed a bonafide phobia of the Easter Bunny.
In the end, though, the experiences shaped who I ultimately became. Leah and I both found what really mattered. Internet dating destroyed me and it saved my life.
