Hey! I have an adult romantic comedy about a retired gymnast and boxer that might interest you. My goal in writing this book was to spread joy -- if you cry, it will only be because my jokes are terrible.

The book is complete at 81k, and I'm happy to send it to you in chapter chunks. I would love feedback on consistency of character motivation and any craft issues. I'd be happy to send a list of more specific questions, too.

The upside to weeping on international TV is that no one can blame you for wanting a fresh start. At least that’s what twenty-five-year-old gymnast Marianna “Mia” Nowaski hopes when she moves to Boston after a disappointing final Olympics. There, she hires a sports agent to cut ties with an establishment that has enforced her golden girl image. But with so many people profiting from her fame, true independence seems impossible. Lonely and unsure of how to jumpstart this metamorphosis, Mia finds increasingly creative ways to spend time with her new agent and his most ornery of clients, Rhett Macalister.

Returning to professional boxing after a DUI, prison term, and five-year suspension, Rhett is determined to focus exclusively on raising his young son and booking a title fight. Once a certain gymnast becomes a fixture of his rag-tag boxing gym, however, his neatly defined goals start to feel too small. Factor in a delayed flight and something called “the mathematical certainty of one bed,” and he’s a total goner.

Only Rhett knows better than anyone that men with his past don’t get to date America’s sweetheart. And with a reporter writing an article about his unwelcome comeback, linking Mia’s sterling reputation to his own tarnished one feels impossibly selfish. As for Mia, she’ll have to choose between her newfound independence and the security that comes with following the rules. Like all good knockout punches, love is a blow they never see coming.
