This story was published by PHR last 2011. Na-inspire kasi ako magsulat ng character na chess grandmaster after ko mabasa yung tungkol kay Wesley So na naging GM at the age of 15, at tinatalo niya talaga 'yung mga world champion na doble, triple ng edad niya. (Sadly though, hindi na Pilipinas ang dinadala niyang country-- U.S. na. Hindi kasi siya nasuportahan dito. *sighs*)
Tapos may naging crush din pala akong comic geek/rakista/writer/professor. Mahilig din siya sa Star Wars and Star Trek, at very shy sa girls. He's the ultimate geek! I had him and Wesley So in my mind when I was creating Wyldon Rodriguez, the hero of this story.
Si Aimee Domingo naman, ay mula sa fascination ko sa beauty pageants-- especially sa mga talunang contestants (hehe). BFF siya ng heroine ng isa ko pang novel (si Empress ng 'Girlfriend For Hire', which I'll also post here in WP soon), but then I felt that Aimee was too bubbly and too interesting to be just a mere side character. Kaya ginawan ko siya ng sarili niyang kwento.
Ayun lang naman. This is just a short, light-hearted romance story. I have this completed already so.. enjoy reading!
P.S. I've just made this current book cover; hindi talaga ito 'yung original cover niya when it was published eight years ago. But I figured this one represents more about the opposite personalities that Aimee and Wyldon have, rather than the book's original cover.
P.PS. If you enjoyed the part/story, please do comment and vote. It would really mean a lot. Maraming salamat!
