LOS ANGELES - Californer -- Do Not Date An Asshole
written by Michelle L Crocker
Available on Amazon

"Every girl has 'that guy' she dated. Or, let's be honest, several of them. The ones your friends warned you about. The ones who drained your bank account, your patience, and your Wi-Fi. The ones who left you eating pizza on your best friend's couch, red wine in hand, questioning every life choice.

This is not a romance novel. This is not a guide to finding Mr. Right. This is a field guide to spotting the red flags, laughing at the disasters, and reminding yourself that you're not alone in your poor dating résumé.

Welcome to Emmy's Museum of Red Flags. Each chapter is an exhibit featuring a different type of asshole she unfortunately dated so you don't have to.

Grab a glass of wine, pull up a chair, and prepare to laugh at the wreckage. Because if you can't laugh at your dating history… you'll probably cry."

About the author

Michelle L. Crocker is a multi-genre author with a passion for crafting stories that blend heart, humor, and a touch of the unexpected. An Army wife of ten years and mom to five—three girls and two boys—Michelle writes with lived grit, compassion, and a deep understanding that love, like life, is never one-dimensional.

When she's not writing, she's empowering women as a pageant director—helping them build confidence, leadership, and life-long tools far beyond the stage. She also owns a dress boutique and believes every woman deserves to feel like she's stepping into her own story, one dazzling moment at a time.

Michelle writes across genres, but her heart beats loudest for paranormal romance, where love tangles with the supernatural and danger meets desire. She also adores diving into classic romance and comedic chaos, proving that storytelling should entertain, empower, and leave readers wanting just one more chapter.

She is featured as the author of Nightside: The Turning in the anthology Secrets, Adventure, Fear, & Love — Book Four, with more titles coming soon.
