“AGE IS JUST A NUMBER.” IS IT REALLY THAT SIMPLE? Refreshing Newcomer Explores the Offerings of the Online Dating Arena for Christians

Whitehall, PA (PRWEB) August 28, 2006

A bright new voice in non-fiction, D.S. White is the author of Age is Just a Number: Adventures in Online Dating - Volume I (Divine Truth Press September 2006; Paperback; $9.95). Spurred on by the Lulu Blooker Prize Contest of 2006 and backed by her online following; Dee jumped into the newly created book form (blook – book based on a blog) with both feet to take you on a four volume, two-year virtual search for love.

Meet Divine: female, thirty-seven, slaphappy, young at heart, self-employed; an online newbie, living in New York. She is fresh out of a long-term relationship and has completed the two-year mandatory wound-licking I-hate-men mourning period. Unfortunately for Divine, someone neglected to inform her that dating has been upgraded to new millennium level. But maybe she shouldn’t worry … hemlines aren’t the only things that have gone up.

Thirty-somethings are premium dating material now … at least for the twenty-year-olds … Divine’s experiences are the basis for the serial memoir I call "Age Is Just a Number", a lens through which to view the world of online dating.

Since the year 2003, I’ve logged much time online—chatting, emailing and IMing. In that time, I’ve probably spoken with over three hundred people, male and female, and I’ve realized something:

I’ve realized that there are many Divines in the world. They come in all shapes, sizes, ethnicities and financial brackets, drawn together by a commonality, a deep-seated loneliness or hunger for something—and by the generally accepted idea that the solution is in finding a mate.

This recounting, although entertaining, is intended to acknowledge that such a need exists, affirm the validity of that need, share the pain, caution the naïve, and pose the question that maybe … just maybe … the accepted solution ought to be an ongoing relationship with God.

This blook is the first volume of the serial memoir: Age is Just a Number: Adventures in Online Dating.

Praise for Age is Just a Number

“If there is one word to describe the musings of this delightful first-time author it would be “refreshing.” D.S. White is refreshingly honest, refreshingly funny, and refreshingly human. I feel as if I’ve just discovered a long-lost friend or relative. Readers will relate to the absolutely real words and thoughts that decorate the pages of this “blook” (the first I’ve ever read, by the way), and will come away from their read with insight to their own hearts and lives.”

-Kathi Macias, author of seventeen books, including the bestselling women’s devotional A Moment A Day, the popular Matthews & Matthews detective series from Broadman & Holman (Obsession, The Price, and The Ransom), and her latest novel, Emma Jean Reborn
