Adventures of an Ice Princess
by Liz Maverick
When life throws you a lemon, make frozen lemonade
Clarissa Schneckberg wasn't ready to leave her Silicon Valley job, get dumped by her longtime boyfriend, and move back in with her parents. She's officially pathetic. And her prospects are dim. At least that's how they look from under the covers of her childhood bed...
But just when her life seems to be heading south, Clarissa decides to head really south—to Antarctica, to be exact. With her best friends, Delilah and Kate, she's ready to make the trek and sign up for some equal- opportunity jobs...even though none of them has yet to live through a winter without fuzzy slippers and fake fur. After all, the male-to-female ratio at the South Pole is something like four-to-one. It's definitely time to shop for some new underwear. Long underwear, that is.
It's an amorous adventure Clarissa would be sane to pass up. But for this snow angel, sanity has outlived its usefulness...

Liz Maverick's Bio
For most of her life, Liz Maverick had no idea she was meant to be a writer. After collecting several initials (BS, CPA, MBA), Liz went to work first as a tax accountant, then as a Web site developer. Unfortunately, cubicle life simply wasn't for her.
Everybody always said that writers got to spend all day in their pajamas and eat bon-bons for lunch. That sounded very pleasant, so one day, while commuting to work on the train, Liz opened up her laptop and started to write a book. Boom! She'd discovered her true calling.
Liz Maverick now enjoys writing sassy contemporary fiction for Penguin Putnam's NAL imprint and kick-butt futuristic action romance for Dorchester and Red Sage.
If you ask Liz where home base is, she'd probably have to give you the address for a storage shed in the San Francisco Bay Area. In the last year alone, she has sent manuscripts to her editors from Antarctica, France, and Indonesia.
Every once in a while, she spends all day in her pajamas...and eats bon-bons for lunch.
