Recently fired and almost broke, thirty-year old Ellie decides to push all distractions aside and form a crash-or-burn plan to save herself and finally pursue her dreams. She gives herself one month to make the near-impossible happen, otherwise she has to leave New York City and move into her niece's toy room.
The plan seems simple but becomes complicated by a nosey best friend, a difficult roommate, a dreamy stranger, and a really bad ring. As the month progresses, Ellie must confront the realization that by deciding to focus on herself, she may have become completely self-centered.
Will she let her own ambitions, insecurities, and assumptions ruin her friendships and get in the way of a possible romance? Ruled by endless lists and fueled by several plates of pie, Ellie's comical thoughts and mishaps drive this story from the office to the coffee shop during a month that will leave her with a broken foot, a great pair of shoes, and a forever changed life.

Author Bio:
I am a Tennessean by birth, and have lived pretty
much everywhere. My Dad always says that
when I was born, and the doctor tried to slap me to make me cry, that I stood
up on the table and slapped the doctor instead…and from then on, I never did
anything that I didn't want to do.
Luckily, what I want to do is write…and not
carjacking or vandalism.
Like my main character, Ellie, I love making random lists…so here
are some random facts about me:
-I'm nearsighted in one eye and farsighted in
the other. The world looks like a
fun-house mirror if I don't wear my glasses or contacts.
-I was almost kicked out of Graceland for using
flash photography in the peacock-mirrored front room, and my tour group shunned
me the entire rest of the tour. That
made for a lonely trip through the Jungle Room.
-I was once mistaken for a member of
Hanson…granted, they all had long hair at the time, but still….not what you
wanna hear as a girl.
When I wrote That
Time of the Month , I really saw it as though it was a movie. I can see every scene, every character and what
they are wearing, every piece of pie, perfectly in my mind. I'm currently writing the sequel, That Time of the Year. I love the story and characters so much, that
I am tempted to turn the series into a trilogy.
