Blogiversary Giveaway with Mary Geneva, author of Nicknames: Tales from the Shallow End of the Dating Pool
SUMMARY There are a million bad dates in the city that never sleeps. Mary Geneva has been on 999,999 of them.
When
she moved to Manhattan in her mid-20s, Mary imagined being single in
New York City would be like something out of a Hollywood movie. And it
was—a horror movie. Nicknames is a look at some of the most hopeless,
horrendous, and frequently hilarious dates you can imagine. Mary shares
her true-life adventures looking for Mr. Right in the treacherous New
York dating scene. You’ll meet men so bizarre, their names have been
changed to protect the guilty.
Our cast of characters includes: • Crazy Eyes, who didn’t just resemble an escapee from the local mental hospital, but proved he probably belonged there • James Bond, the mysterious South African with the secret life • Germ Sperm, a guy so classy, he actually named himself Germ Sperm! • And many, many, many more.
Part memoir, part self-help book, Nicknames will have you laughing out loud…and possibly abstaining from dating forever.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR Mary Geneva is a sales
professional by day and a serial dater by night. Married at age 21 and
divorced at 26, she and her cat Diva were left to learn how to balance
their checkbook.
In Nicknames, Mary tiptoes back into the dating
pool, accumulating many late night, drunken scraps of paper and text
messages, outlining unbelievable—yet totally true—events. Knowing she
couldn’t make this stuff up, she stored the memories away, and is
finally able to share them with you.
Undaunted, Mary lives,
works, and plays in NYC. When not dating, Mary can be found planning her
next scuba diving adventure and hanging out with her pets, rescued pup
Valentino and kitty Diva.
Mary also charges full speed ahead
pounding the pavement, racing marathons and raising money to bring
awareness of suicide prevention and outreach programs.
But
nothing brings a smile to Mary’s face like her famous garlic roasted
mashed potatoes, perfectly whipped mountains of starch, hoping to one
day find the meat to her potatoes.
To unwind, Mary is on a mission to create the perfect martini!
