My New Novel

I finally finished my first novel. It's gonna be out this summer, it's called Confessions of a Shopliftaholic. I'll give you a little rundown.

Trisha, 24 years old and fresh out of university, isn't really sure about what to do with her degree or her life. When her friend Jennifer suggests they take a summer trip to the small Okanagan town of Osoyoos for a houseboating trek, Trisha unwillingly obliges. Things get interesting when the rest of their boat roomies turn out to be good looking 40-something men on a fishing trip from Montana. Trisha quickly finds herself stealing a box of condoms from the only convenience store in town.

For the rest of the summer, Trisha embarks on a daring game of shoplifting and dodging authorities that gets her higher and higher with every swipe. It doesn't help that her handsome suitor, Jareth Duncan, is a newly divorced and recovering shopliftaholic on the bend. They spend the summer sacking cosmetics, snacks, ice cream, even a car.

Things get complicated when Jareth tempts Trisha to cross the border with him -- on stolen visas.
