Seventeen-year-old
Kari meets Neil Mars. “Neil as in Armstrong and Mars…as in Bruno.” A
boy who beats every vampire, werewolf, highlander fantasy Kari has ever
had. But she knows she can’t get close to him. Not ever. Because that
would mean telling him everything. Coming clean. And Kari can’t bear the
idea of changing the way Neil looks at her. Like she’s the only girl in
the world. His reverence is something too precious to lose. Perhaps
even at the cost of losing him.
But
Kari doesn't know why Neil calls her his ‘Angel’ and when she finds
out, she realizes what love is all about. Boundless joy, unending
longing and a fuckload of heartache.

EXCERPTS from All My Life:
“I can take care of myself,” I tell him.
His lips twitch in response. “Oh, I’m sure you can, little shrub.”
“You
are warned!” I take my voice down a notch and point my ring at him,
“I’ll tunnel your leathery knighthood right out of this galaxy!”
Neil suddenly halts in his tracks and pins me down with his eyes. “Batman vs. Green Lantern? Batman wins. Every. Single. Time.”
“Ohmygod! So not true. In the…”
He cuts me. “One word…yellow.” I stare at him with my mouth half-open.
“‘Nuff said,” he says smugly and then tugs on my hand.

Maybe
I’ll forget this feeling someday. Maybe it’ll just be reduced to a
memory made up of a flickering gas heater, the salty dew of his skin and
the love in his dark, inky eyes. This feeling of pure unadulterated
joy. Of reaching a high so potent that your spirit feels like it’s
soaring across the universe…and falling from that glorious peak only to
find yourself enveloped in someone’s warm caring hands. When you feel
like you’ve just died or been born, right at the same time.
It could be that I’ll forget this feeling someday. But I’m sure it
won’t be anytime soon. Maybe when I’m a hundred and looking forward to
my lunch of mashed bread. Not one single day before.

Rucy
Ban was born in 1978 and still continues to thrive. Ever since she
first met Francine (the protagonist of her favorite novel, A Tree Grows
in Brooklyn), Rucy fell in love with the written word. Rucy has a
B-school degree in Marketing which she now puts to good use teaching
lovable rowdy rogues and negotiating with her equally belligerent
adolescent. In her previous avatar, she handled corporate communications
for companies. At present, Rucy lives in Sao Paulo, travels often,
speaks decent, if not quite fluent, Portuguese and really hates talking
about herself in third person.
