Book excerpt: Catherin & Alexander, Love on the Internet, is about two romantically driven people that have been, for the greatest part of their lives, unlucky in love. They see the romance in the rose opening its bloom for the world to see the beauty held within, as well as in the ability for two people with romantic hearts to find each other, enjoying the poetic beauty of the world around them. However, each feels disappointed in the fact that they have not found the person that brings loves star into focus. Catherin, a hopeful romantic, is a woman that craves romance, enjoys being a woman, and loves being feminine. She envisions herself in romantic scenarios with a man that can hold her heart in his hands, capable of loving her for the rest of her life. On the other hand, Alexander is not only a man of action, an individual that has always enjoyed adventure, never missing an opportunity to feel the adrenaline run through his veins, but also a true romantic and a Southern gentleman. He believes strength is best found in the way in which a man loves the woman in his life and in the way he lives his life as an example for others to follow. After experiencing another bad date, he decides to follow the advice of a friend and join an Internet dating site. Catherin, experiencing a similar situation over six thousand miles away, does the same, allowing them both to find a love that bridges two completely different worlds, uniting their hearts forever together.
