The List: Can Perfect Be Put on Paper? written by Carmen Shirkey

 

People make lists for a variety of reasons. There are grocery lists, errand lists and to-do lists. Candace Sanders is a 30-something with her own list - a list of almost 50 qualities she wants in her future husband. She's excited when she finds her Mr. Right, as he earns check after check on her love itinerary. However, when she starts to fall for another man that's the opposite of what she thinks she wants, she wonders: can perfect be put on paper?

 

The List was recently awarded the 2009 Next Generation Indie Book Award in the Romance category.

"What woman does not love her lists! In the case of author Carmen Shirkey's heroine Candace, we find a quirky, lovable character who proves that a list is, in fact, ever evolving. Bravo to the men who have figured that out and can match wits amongst this entertaining group of friends." -- Tammi Wark Marcoullier, author of Driving Forces: Inside the First U.S. Women's Olympic Bobsled Team

"This book was fantastic, witty and puts down on paper what we all think and live in the life of a 20/30s someone. A quick and fun read that is sure to give you quite a few laugh-out-loud moments!!!" -- Sarah "The Laugh Factor" on Amazon.com

 

 

Carmen Shirkey was born in Staunton, VA. She received her degree in Rhetoric and Communication from the University of Virginia. Currently, she resides in Virginia.

Aside from writing, Carmen’s passion is for travel. She once got a fortune cookie that told her that she would “step on the soil of many countries.” And she took it seriously. She hopes one day to be able to go on permanent vacation, instead of packing all her travel into two measly weeks each year. That’s the amount of vacation time she gets in her full-time gig as a Web editor.
