AuthorsNow! Debut Authors on the InternetNEW! Full Manuscript Critique from Author Rhonda Stapleton (Contemp)

The Darer: Rhonda Stapleton started writing a few years ago to appease the voices in her head. She has a Master’s degree in English and a Bachelor’s degree in Creative Writing. In the twelve minutes of free time she has each day, Rhonda enjoys reading, photography, writing poetry, singing in the shower (and in the car, at work, or basically anywhere that provides oxygen), drinking chai tea, and playing on the Internet (AKA, connecting to the “mother ship”).
Rhonda lives in northeast Ohio with her two kids, her manpanion, and their lazy dog. Stupid Cupid is her debut young adult novel, and is the first book in a trilogy. Visit her website at rhondastapleton.com.
About Stupid Cupid (The 1st in a 3-book trilogy with Simon Pulse)
Stupid Cupid
Felicity’s no ordinary teen matchmaker…she’s a cupid!
Felicity Walker believes in true love. That’s why she applies for a gig at the matchmaking company Cupid’s Hollow. But when Felicity gets the job, she learns that she isn’t just a matchmaker…she’s a cupid! (There’s more than one of them, you know.)
Armed with a hot pink, tricked-out PDA infused with the latest in cupid magic (love arrows shot through email), Felicity works to meet her quota of successful matches. But when she bends the rules of cupidity by matching her best friend Maya with three different boys at once, disaster strikes. Felicity needs to come up with a plan to set it all right, pronto, before she gets fired…and before Maya ends up with her heart split in three.
