I started this "favourites" feature because I wanted a way for readers to get to know the authors attending BookBuzz Toronto, an event I'm helping with. I hope you enjoy learning a little more about these amazing women and I hope you can attend the event! Learn more about BookBuzz Toronto here.
Romi Moondi is one of the funniest authors I've read. Her novels are always hilarious and the story is so good. Her series includes Year of the Chick (free!), Last-Minute Love, and, the latest, Never or Forever. I still haven't read her newest one but I can't wait to see what it's all about.
About Romi...
Romi Moondi is a Canadian author who
converted her 2008 blog “Year of the Chick” into novel form, and published it
in 2011. Since then she’s added two more books to the “Year of the Chick”
series, the most recent of which is “Never or Forever.” The latest book takes
place in Paris, which is where Romi lived for six months this past year, after
trading in her corporate job for an inspiration-seeking mission.
The books can be described as edgy romantic
comedies, where happy endings are not a guarantee, but where real and
embarrassing moments are in good supply.
Romi also writes screenplays in her spare
time, and her screenplay “Best Before” made it to the semi-finals or better in
eight international screenplay competitions in 2011.
She’d like to see her books adapted into
films one day, with the crown jewel of Canada a.k.a. Ryan Gosling as one of the
male leads. Naturally.
