Brighton Publishing LLC signs author Denise Kawaii for her novel “Age/Sex/Location”

Oct. 6, 2011 - PRLog -- Jo is a young, twenty-something single girl. She’s not married. She’s not dating. She’s not working. Sound like rock bottom? Sound familiar? She’s the star of this breakthrough novel from one of the freshest American writers today who tackles all of the Net-generation’s angst with wit, wisdom, and a good dose of humor. Age/Sex/Location is Denise Kawaii’s debut novel and will be available first as an eBook in mid-2012.

When Steve called off the wedding, something snapped in Jo. She called it “spiraling.” Fueled by tequila and a broken heart, Jo locks herself in her home, powers up her computer, and hits the Information Superhighway in search of something, someone…anyone to take her mind off her ex-fiancé pounding on her front door.

Just about everyone knows someone online today. Someone we email. A friend. A co-worker. A family member. Maybe someone more romantic? For Jo, the twisted paths of the Internet soon lead her to “Navyman2000.” Is his sympathetic ear, cheerful friendliness, and interest in her real? Can she trust him? More importantly, can she trust herself to take another chance on making a real connection in life?

As Jo’s travel agency business crashes in the floundering economy and she opts not to trust her own feelings, she once again “spirals” out of control, replacing the seemingly perfect Navyman2000 with a shady Canadian who has an unquenchable addiction for weed.

Readers will rise and fall again and again with Jo as her penchant for “spiraling” out of control threatens to finally go too far. At the end of every dark tunnel, Navyman2000 has patiently waited—but will he be there when she needs him most? And if he is, can Jo trust her own feelings?

“Love in the Internet age is a fascinating subject, so complex, so new, and yet still so sublime when put to the page as masterfully as Denise Kawaii has succeeded in doing,” said Kathie McGuire, director of Brighton Publishing LLC. “Funny, irreverent, and yet still poignant, Kawaii has written a fine first novel that will earn her many fans and set the stage for an impressive career.”

Denise Kawaii is an accomplished columnist for Yahoo™ and The Examiner and a regular features contributor to industry publications in California. She was born in Portland, Oregon, where she now currently resides with her husband. This is her first novel.
