Jade thought she had it all: a hunky mate, beautiful children, a great job and her just-completed dream house. Then it all disappeared. Single and alone for the first time in two decades, Jade suddenly finds herself ready to live the life that she missed in her 20s. She moves to San Francisco to search for her soul mate and meets eligible bachelors everywhere. There's the financial wizard who wants to buy her house and keep her in the bargain. There's the college student whose favorite movie is "The Graduate." There's the gorgeous Brit who strides through life like an adventure and somehow forgets to mention his wife. And what happens when two dates show up at the same party? Finally, Jade thinks she meets Mr. Right: Sweet, sexy, kind, but haunted by a secret problem that threatens to sweep Jade into its deadly vortex. After a long line of bad boyfriends, Jade wakes up to the Naughtiest boyfriend of all!
Jade is the pen name of an exciting new author and distinguished filmmaker whose work 'Naughty Boyfriends' invites you into her secret world of love and dating.
She spent 12 years in the feature film industry compositing effects shots on films: "Godzilla," "Van Helsing," "The Fifth Element," "The Devil's Advocate" and "What Dreams May Come." She won a Clio and an Emmy.
One morning she woke up burning to write her own story and then headed off to create spine-tingling movie scenes such as Frankenstein hanging off a cliff. While her job required 50 layers of moving pictures to be integrated to make one scene, her writing is a simple layer of truth in life's greatest adventure--looking for Love. 'Naughty Boyfriends' is filled with the intimate moments most women never share: the heartache of not getting called back after having sex, pick-up lines you want to believe in, wondering what it means when your phone rings in the middle of the night and how to survive an evening in a claustrophobic jail after speed dating!
Jade is always looking for an exciting challenge, life's next lesson and fearless love. She went to first grade in Africa and high school in Alaska while crossing the globe 12 times in-between. She has lived in exotic places like the Azores and Okinawa. She rode an elephant to the Taj Mahal, wild monkeys have run off with her lunch, and she has sailed the Icy Strait. Her high in life was water and snow skiing in the same day, Alaskan-style. Jade has crawled through three-foot tunnels beneath the Pyramids to behold hieroglyphics, monks have taught her the Dharma, she has touched Christ's tomb, and a giant Bengal Tiger napped in her lap. Jade's adventurous spirit shines through in her book, "Naughty Boyfriends."
