A finalist in the 2017 RONE Awards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen Cambria Clyne-a 28-year-old single mom-gets the job of apartment manager at an L.A. complex, she thinks her run of bad luck is finally over. And the cute maintenance guy is certainly a nice perk. But the job is nothing like she'd imagined, especially once a crime spree takes over the community.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCambria, confident the crime shows she's watched on TV will help her, dons her detective hat and embarks on adventure. As the case unravels, Cambria finds that perhaps she's been a naïve accomplice all along...\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eIf you like the lovable in-over-their-heads heroines of Sophie Kinsella's stories, with a little Janet Evanovich cozy mystery thrown in, you'll love this hilarious look at the adventures of a feisty gal trying to keep her crazy job and find love.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAuthor Interview\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat was your inspiration to write The Apartment Manager Series?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll the apartment managers I've met agree on one thing-someone needs to write a book about this bizarre industry! So I thought, why not me? As a former on-site apartment manager and longtime blogger at The Apartment Manager's Blog, I have a lot of inspiration right at my fingertips. So much so, this had to be a series.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIt seems these books could fit into several genres. How would you categorize them?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo me, a good book has a bit of mystery, a dose of romance, a twist, and a whole lot of humor. So I applied this formula to \u003ci\u003eFor Rent\u003c\/i\u003e: humor, mystery and romance... I think it could easily fit into chick lit, romantic comedy, and even a cozy mystery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat sets Cambria apart, and how is her story different from other romantic comedies?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCambria is a feisty single mom determined to do right by her daughter. She's smart, witty, awkward, humble and possibly too nosy for her own good. Even when she's thrust into strange and dangerous situations, she manages to hold her own. She's not easily defeated, even when everything (and everyone) says she should be. Cambria isn't out to find love (this isn't really a romance story, though the handyman is pretty cute), but she wouldn't be opposed to it finding her. She's really out to start a new job and establish a career for herself in an industry that is deceptively difficult. She fumbles along the way, and this is what makes her relatable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHow many books are in the series?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCambria is always on another adventure so I'll likely always have a new book in the works.
