Terminal Romance

In these 16 original short stories, Aguirre has drawn a world in which cyber stalkers, foot fetishists and love-struck professors clash with misfits and reality-impaired pessimists––her sharp and funny writing, exploring the twists and turns of online dating. But these inter-linking short stories are more than boy meets girl on blind date. TERMINAL ROMANCE exposes the uncertainties and complexities of love and our need to reach out and connect at all costs.

TERMINAL ROMANCE is available to buy on Amazon for Kindle and on Smashwords. If you don’t have an ereader, download a free app here from Amazon. A print version of the book will be out later this year.

Ugly word watch

Dystopia: I used to like dystopia. Lately, it reminds me of dysentery and that's never good. Plus, the increase of apocalyptic films and books over the past decade make me wish we'd end already, just so I can see if they're right.
