April Serao's love life is much like a desert, dry, dusty
and a little cracked. Six years ago, her husband Sal died
while having sex. That was bad, but he was with her, so it
could have been worse, however he hadn't finished renovating
the kitchen, so it really could have been better. Now
April's raising their three sons alone. Word got around
about how Sal met his unfortunate demise which has earned
April a "killer good" reputation. Because of it, most men
put a considerable amount of distance between her and them.
Her mother Marie takes April to see a local celebrity
psychic, convinced Sal will talk to them. April knows Sal
hasn't held up his end of a conversation in a long time but
goes anyway because her mother is wiry tough, sports Cherry
Cola #17 red hair and is a force to be reckoned with. She's
also a "Sicilian Guilt Trip" ninja, and April knows she
won't win the battle. April works as a Technical Support
Engineer at a company called Tin Cup Software. Her co
workers and occasional partners in crime are Rob and Marley.
Rob has a hologram perfect family and Marley passes the time
by tweezing chin hairs while talking to customers. She lives
with a large multicolored parrot named Rodney that she
believes is going through teenage angst. An out of state
business associate asks April on her first date since Sal's
death and she soon finds herself struggling to balance her
past, her children and friends and the possibility of new
love. Her life, further complicated by a dead musician, a
little latex and a few bad guys becomes a rollicking laugh
out loud read that you won't want to miss.
