“I can’t believe how
fast this process moves,” said Warren. “Amazon announced it as a ‘Hot New
Release in Divorce’ a few days after it was published as a Kindle E-Book.
Reviews and sales are already popping up."
“Roadmaps for the
Sexually Challenged” is set in the City of the Lost Angels in the mid-90s with
the O.J. trial in the background. It follows the hot romance of a divorcing
Jewish American woman with a Japanese American man who bears the scars suffered
by his family during World War II. As both are on the rebound, the woman’s
girlfriends cheer from the sidelines, but issue warnings.
“One of my favorite
lines is from one of Carrie’s friends who says, ‘The mind cannot process sex,’”
said Warren. “It sums up the book."
"Roadmaps" has
its roots in Warren's 1994 diary entries and now stands as a “fictionalized
memoir.” The veteran documentary filmmaker and screenwriter added: “The first
draft was finished before there was a ‘Sex and the City.’ But it covers similar
topics. The 90s produced stories of women exploring their sexual ‘freedom’ and
feeling less than thrilled with the results.”
Warren credited the 70s
"Fear of Flying" author Erica Jong with opening the literary door.
"Jong boldly wrote about sex and made it sound like a necessary component
to learning how to care for one's soul."
For those who may be
Kindle-less, Amazon offers a free download app for smartphones. "And I
have some excerpts on the book's blog," Warren said. "They give more
plot points than the 'peek inside' option."
"The Asian
man/Caucasian woman dating aspect in the book is not a small thing," said
Warren. "A lot of Americans know nothing about the Asian American
experience. It's rare for media to portray Asian American men as romantic leads
in fiction. I tried for years with other projects and hit the wall every time
in Hollywood."
Just how sexy is it?
“Not as graphic as earlier drafts,” Warren said with a laugh. “But it’s still
very erotic when it needs to be. I’d say about Fifty Shades of Hot.”

ABOUT THE BOOK
ABOUT THE BOOK
The third novel in Campbell’s Young Adult "Lakeview Series" finds its heroine, Halle Henry, kicking off her senior
year with the perfect boyfriend, perfect roommate (his twin sister) and the
prospect of getting into the perfect college—all of which become endangered
when her boyfriend Alex witnesses a murder and ends up expelled for drugs
planted in his backpack. Faced with uncooperative adults, Halle devises her own
plan to corner the culprits using all the high-tech electronic equipment and
methods at her disposal from full-on Internet, social media and digital tools
to ordering spy stuff off Amazon. Halle joins forces with an unlikely
ally—Alex’s edgy roommate Wyatt—as they set out to bring the real criminals to
justice and bring back Alex in time for graduation. But can they keep from
getting killed in the process? And almost as important:
Can they find out why the school cafeteria food sucks?
