Blurb-
Seventeen-year-old Gilbert Garfinkle is the ultimate tech geek. He
likes to take apart, figure out, and fix things, and he dreams of
someday fixing the world. But now his own life has been taken apart
by the one thing he'll never be able to figure out. Her name is
Amber, and she's a gorgeous girl with a killer smile who wants to
turn him into her platonic BFF--literally forever! It's the ultimate
geek's ultimate nightmare, and it leaves Gilbert asking life's
ultimate question: "Why me?"
Why My Love Life Sucks is a funny novel about geeks, girls, gadgets,
vampires, and the start of a most unlikely friendship. It's the first
book in The Legend of Gilbert the Fixer, the series that proves it
takes the ultimate geek to be the ultimate hero.

About the Author-
I've always been super geeky about comedy, fantasy and science
fiction.
When I was little, I'd take them apart and analyze them, kind of like
what Gilbert Garfinkle--the hero of Why My Love Life Sucks--does with
electronics. This continued into my college years, when I majored in
English Literature and Theater Studies.
For twelve years I worked in magazines and newspapers as an editorial
cartoonist, illustrator, editor, arts-and-entertainment writer
(specializing in children's entertainment and, of course, comedy),
and a consumer columnist.
This was in February 2001. Since then I've written 40 picture books
and seven novels for kids and teens, four of which I've indie
published. I was an ABNA quarterfinalist with Why My Love Life Sucks,
and I won third place in SmartWriter's Write It Now contest in the
the YA category (which was judged by Alex Flinn, the author of
Beastly) for my romantic, YA ghost story, Ride of Your Life.
