Every time I see you something happens to me
like a chain reaction between you and me
My heart starts missing a beat
My heart starts missing a beat
every time
Oh oh oh, every time

For a limited time, you can grab my award-winning novella, TIKKA CHANCE ON ME, for just $0.99! Trucker and Pinky are a cheap date! But, sorry, you'll have to procure your own samosas.

Buy links: books2read.com/u/mKKrNv
A square light blue promo graphic with the words “Time to Tikka Chance” in red block letters at the top and “99 cent sale” in the same font in the lower right corner. Amazon, Apple, B&N and Kobo are listed as vendors. In the middle of the square is the illustrated cover of Tikka Chance on Me, which shows a bearded blond white man leaning against a black truck. He’s appreciating the view of a pretty brown-skinned and black-haired South Asian woman who’s teasingly looking over her shoulder and holding a plate of samosas. To the side of the cover is a review quote from Entertainment Weekly that says “An emotionally involving, out-of-this-world sexy love story.”

I was 10? 1973? I’d woken up to find my dad awake in the middle of the night listening to this with his headphones on. He immediately sat me in our egg stereo chair and turned it on.

One of my many fond memories.
