On Tour: That Time of the Month by Emily Shaffer

Emily will be on tour October 8-29 with her novel That Time of the Month

Recently fired and almost broke, thirty-year old Ellie decides to push all distractions aside and form a crash-or-burn plan to save herself and finally pursue her dreams. She gives herself one month to make the near-impossible happen, otherwise she has to leave New York City and move into her niece’s toy room.

The plan seems simple but becomes complicated by a nosey best friend, a difficult roommate, a dreamy stranger, and a really bad ring. As the month progresses, Ellie must confront the realization that by deciding to focus on herself, she may have become completely self-centered.

Will she let her own ambitions, insecurities, and assumptions ruin her friendships and get in the way of a possible romance? Ruled by endless lists and fueled by several plates of pie, Ellie’s comical thoughts and mishaps drive this story from the office to the coffee shop during a month that will leave her with a broken foot, a great pair of shoes, and a forever changed life.

Author Bio:

I am a Tennessean by birth, and have lived pretty much everywhere.  My Dad always says that when I was born, and the doctor tried to slap me to make me cry, that I stood up on the table and slapped the doctor instead…and from then on, I never did anything that I didn’t want to do.

Luckily, what I want to do is write…and not carjacking or vandalism.

 Like my main character, Ellie, I love making random lists…so here are some random facts about me:
-I’m nearsighted in one eye and farsighted in the other.  The world looks like a fun-house mirror if I don’t wear my glasses or contacts.
-I was almost kicked out of Graceland for using flash photography in the peacock-mirrored front room, and my tour group shunned me the entire rest of the tour.  That made for a lonely trip through the Jungle Room.
-I was once mistaken for a member of Hanson…granted, they all had long hair at the time, but still….not what you wanna hear as a girl.
When I wrote That Time of the Month , I really saw it as though it was a movie.  I can see every scene, every character and what they are wearing, every piece of pie, perfectly in my mind.  I’m currently writing the sequel, That Time of the Year.  I love the story and characters so much, that I am tempted to turn the series into a trilogy.
