The One

The Plot:
In a family filled with happily-ever-afters, ugly duckling Addie has been jilted for the
last time. There is no “one” for her, so why keep looking?
Marcus, aka The Love Doctor, orchestrates love twenty-two weeks a year on cable.
Sure, happily-ever-afters are a crock, but creating the fantasy makes for must-see TV.
Addie is perfect for his latest venture, the ultimate love connection with a “real”
woman finding love on live TV. In his quest to secure Addie for the show, will he discover
that she’s really perfect for him?
Reviews Welcome.
Biography:
Janice Croom writes the Kadence MacBride Mysteries and Holiday with Love Ro-
mances. She initially studied fiction techniques to improve her non-fiction writing. Given
an assignment to write the first chapter of a novel, Janice read hers aloud. The class ap-
plauded and the teacher asked, “What happens next?”
“The assignment was to write the first chapter not what happened next,” Janice said so
she had no idea. By the end of the class, Janice wanted to know what happened next. That
quest, to tell her character’s stories, to learn what happens next, drives her writing.
She’s a voracious reader and views writing as reverse reading. Toni Morrison said, “If
there’s a story you want to read that hasn’t been written, you must write it.” Janice writes
the stories she wanted to read and hopes you enjoy reading them as much as she’s enjoyed
writing them.
