A fresh and funny take on the perils of dating from a gifted new African American writer.
Monica is a girl whose standards have hit rock bottom. Having dated so many losers, she doesn't even care that her latest, Mark, has some baggage--baggage that has a name and face and harasses her every chance she gets. But hey, everyone has a few skeletons in the closet, right? Could he be the one, imperfections aside? Will she bother to press the issue? Should she just bolt for the door and forget the whole thing? Before she can decide, things get complicated when she meets a guy who encompasses everything she looks for in a man. There's just one problem: he lives in another country.
In this exciting first novel, Laurel Handfield deftly captures the moments of humor, frustration, hope, and uncertainty that are inevitable parts of every new relationship. Sarcastic, heartwarming, and always entertaining, My Diet Starts Tomorrow will appeal to anyone who's been knocked down by the dating scene--only to get right back up and into it again.

plays based upon Archie comics for the other children in the neighborhood to
perform. She is the third of four children born to Bobby Lee and
Janet Laverne Whitaker. Her father is a retired college professor
and her mother, a retired Word Processor for a large corporation in
Pennsylvania.
With a Degree in Marketing obtained in 1992, Laurel
continued writing as a hobby and pursued her career in Corporate America for
several years before leaving the Corporate world and deciding to write
full-time.

Handfield, who was born and raised in the Bahamas. Eventually, they

decision was made to finish the book and get it published on the insistence of
