Synopsis
Feeling dead in her marriage, Elizabeth Fairchild ditches the
dream of her seemingly perfect life with her husband in search of who she
really is.
She went from her parents' house to her husband's home and never really learned to stand on her own two feet. She decides to leave her comfortable life in Napa Valley in search of her inner fire in New York City. She certainly didn't leave her husband to find another man, but she soon finds herself involved with two: Jack Stevens and Kevin Parker.
Jack is older. He has heart-stopping good looks, is wildly successful, and is very much in control of everything around him - especially Elizabeth.
Kevin is younger. He is carefree with a heart of gold and loves Elizabeth's spunk.
While Elizabeth's old life still calls to her, she also finds what she needs in New York. But which dream will she choose?

Excerpt
“I want you. Without question. I want you so fucking bad. I
want you in any way I can have you… in any way that you are willing to share
yourself with me,” he confessed. “Do you need me?” he asked, his voice cracking
just a tad.
And I realized that I did. I needed him. I needed him so
desperately that it almost hurt. At his side, I felt important and respected.
The time I had spent with him was repairing a part of my soul that I hadn’t
known was incomplete.
“That was a question, Beth. Answer the question…please.” I
could hear in his voice and see in his eyes that my answer would make or break
him.
“Yes, Jack. I need you.”
“You should also know that I don’t like to share. I want to
know that you are mine. That neighbor…please end it,” his voice constricted.
And then it hit me. He was jealous!
“I’ll think about it,” I replied quietly.

The long story:
I've always been a creative sort of person... I started with my college studies in Advertising Design and Illustration. I'm good at drawing and coming up with clever ideas.
As for story telling - well, that's where I have the most fun! Ditching The Dream is my first novel, but I've been working on writing movies since, what seems like forever. Way back in high school my friend Aimee and I started writing a movie and I was hooked. We didn't know what we were doing, but we loved coming up with the story. I also like to come up with stories about people I don't know. Like the guy that cut me off on the expressway...He had quite a story - at least in my mind! Who knows? Maybe I've come up with a story about you! ;)
Ditching The Dream is a story that came to me while I was helping two author friends of mine. I was helping them with their books and I would make suggestions to amp up their stories along the way. Bev and Amy encouraged me to write my own story and Ditching The Dream was born. Is it auto-biographical? No, not in the least. But it sure has been a fun story to come up with (especially when my hubby gets involved with coming up with ideas).
