 DIY, #1
by Sandra Kyle

Length: 8h 14m
Publisher: Sandra Kyle
Released: June 27th 2017
Genre: Contemporary Fiction

Vanessa moves to Savannah to pick up the pieces of her once very certain existence after her fiancé cheats on her. An independent and self-sufficient accountant, Vanessa also has a knack for DIY. When she purchases a ramshackle property in need of repair, she crosses paths with Daniel, a sexy and skillful carpenter. Daniel is a ladies’ man who plays the field and has his own romantic issues to conquer. As Vanessa embarks on a journey to embrace her new community and rehab her new home, she enlists Daniel’s help. Tackling the house is the easy part, but can two do-it-yourselfers find a way to work together to fix their love lives as well?
 
   
Born to Italian parents, Sandra is a “first generation” American. Her parents came to America in search of a better life. Along with their dreams they brought with them wonderful tales that Sandra recalls told time and time again around the kitchen table. Though not sure where her love of writing originated, she can admit to having penned stories (i.e., fanfic) about New Kids on the Block back in the late 80s – scribbling pages and pages in notebooks shared before school by lockers and passed in between classes. It was fiction that included classmates and heartbreaking romance only a teenage girl filled with unbearable angst could summon. An avid movie lover and introvert, she reads anything from Austen to King. She is an east coast gal and currently resides (when not immersed in the fictional worlds that occupy her headspace) with her husband and bipolar feline.

With Sandra Kyle
1.     Waffle fries or curly fries? Waffle
2.     GIF with a hard g or soft g? Soft (I’m also an ETHERNET with short e gal *shrugs*)
3.     Fantasy or science-fiction? Fantasy (Have you seen “The Dark Crystal” or “Legend”?)
4.     Superman or Batman? Superman - Reeves and his little curly que made quite an impression on me when I was younger.
5.     Text message or call? Text for information dissemination. Call for true connection.
6.     Pancakes or waffles? Waffles - perfect balance of crispy exterior and fluffy interior.
7.     Doctor Who or the Walking Dead? Neither at the moment.
8.     TV Shows or movies? Hm, tough one. Television production has really raised the bar in terms of entertainment value over the past decade. I guess just for binge-watching potential I’d have to go with TV Shows.
9.     Facebook or Twitter? I find Facebook easier to use.
10. Alice in Wonderland or Robinson Crusoe? Crusoe
11. Being too warm or too cold? I’d rather be too cold.
12. Netflix or Hulu? Netflix
13. Work Hard or Play Hard? Work Hard
14. Passenger or Driver? I selfishly enjoy being the passenger and taking in the view
15. Amusement Park or Day at the Beach? Either one if it can be at night and at my leisure - any place with too many people is too much stimulation and stress.
16. Honesty or Other’s Feelings? It can be tough to hold to, but I value honesty.
17. Movie at Home or Movie at the Theater? Movie at home - air popped popcorn and pausing for bathroom breaks.
