About this author

edit data

K. L. Brady is a D.C. native but spent a number of her formative years in the Ohio Valley. She’s an alumnus of the University of the District of Columbia and University of Maryland University College, earning a B.A. in Economics and M.B.A., respectively. She works as an analyst for a major government contracting firm and is an active real estate agent with Exit Realty by day—and writes by night (often into the wee hours of the morning). She lives just outside of D.C. in Cheltenham, Maryland, with her son, William, and two pet Betta fish, Spongebob and Jerry, and lives to eat chocolate, shop, read and write.

K.L.'s Writing

The Bum Magnet (Literature & Fiction)

3 chapters — updated Oct 14, 2009 05:35pm

Description: Charisse Tyson seems to have it all--a great job, a dream car, and a McMansoin in high and mightyville. Everything in her life is just right except...the Mister. While lamenting the break-up with her most recent "the one" during a holiday meltdown, Charisse realizes she has a type when it comes to men--players, players, and more players. A magazine article motivates her to swear off men and examine the complex roots of her romantic fiascos. Laugh loud and often as Charisse discovers whether her choices in men reflect something more than a penchant for good looks, great sex, and bad judgment.

This was a pretty good book. Very gritty, raw, edgy. The thought of teens killing one another well...ugh! But if you're gonna kill them off this is the way to do it.
