the ex-pat. He is still tall, good-looking and very much an
eligible bachelor, but, alas, he is back in England, as of
yesterday. A couple of you emailed me and asked where I meet such a
fine-looking thing, and I say with a red face: Craigslist (CL).
I know, I know. Craigslist is for desperate, lonely people right?
Well, I was desperate and lonely back in England a couple months
back, after coming back from my cousin's wedding where there so
much 'love and ceremony' in the air. (Bah humbug! LOL! Just kidding!)
So, I put an ad on Craigslist - it read 'American Girl in London',
and holy moly, within minutes, I was flooded with emails from some
fantastic male candidates. I mean, I've done CL in SF one or two
times and nothing, and here I am in London getting emails from
CEOs, entrepreneurs, Hedge Fund managers, barristers, etc. (I am
surprised I didn't get something from the Prime Minister). So I was
contacted by some major heavy contenders, including my ex-pat. (I
also got a few obscene pictures and someone offering to suck my
toes... so not all good, but pretty impressive in regards to CL
standards.)
Many of you may not know this, but I have been single for three
years! Other than Mr. Rich - whom I talk about extensively in Goal
Digger - and that was anything but a regular, loving relationship.
Far from it...
So, my friends, I am ready to turn a new leave and give love a
chance, and Mr. Ex-pat may have entered into an auspicious
situation.... Alicia Dunams wanting to settle down.
OMG, say it ain't so!!
Yes, I know, I know it's been only two dates, yet I approached it a
bit differently than from other dates in the past three years: I
decided not to tell him about my book. The reason: I find that fact
about me scares men off a bit... or I can definitely say it
separates the men and the boys. Since the publishing of Goal
Digger, it seems that only older, wealthy gentlemen can handle my
sass and gumption, while younger, regular-type guys systemically
"head for the hills."
Nonetheless, after Date 2, I ended up sending him a text message
about my book, as I felt dishonest holding that fact back. So I
figured I may not hear back from him. But I did.
So, on another note, the ink is drying on my Korean publishing
deal, and in celebration I am offering a 'two-fer' deal: Two Goal
Digger books for the price of one - both autographed. Go to
http://www.goaldigger.com and enter 'two-fer' or 'two for' - they
both work, to get your books TODAY.
Also, email me with questions. And I love your feedback: I read
every last one of my emails. Keep them coming....

P.S. And, as for the ex-pat, I'll keep you posted.
