BALLSTON SPA — After writing features and reporting news in and around Saratoga Springs for decades, writer Cari Scribner of Ballston Spa has turned to fiction.
Scribner’s debut novel, “A Girl Like You,” is released Tuesday, Feb. 9. The novel is a rom-com about a 50-something divorced woman venturing into online dating. The novel will be available at Northshire Bookstore in downtown Saratoga Springs and on Amazon.
Circuit Breaker Book accepted “A Girl Like You” as their first publication.
“I had a goal of sharing the funny, odd, frustrating scenario of a middle-aged woman dating,” said Scribner, a divorced mom of three grown children. “This is a novel in which the main characters aren’t 20-year-olds. I think novels like this are too few and far between.”
Scribner was accepted into several NYS Writers Institute workshops during the last two decades, where she studied up on the art of fiction. Scribner is currently at work on a sequel, “A Place Like This.”
