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.
My last job was at the Jerusalem Post, but I had to quit when my
family decided to move to New Jersey to pursue better education options for my
autistic son.
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.
