Originally from Michigan, Michael MacBride now calls Minnesota home. Michael received his PhD in 19th century American and 18th century British Literature, but his true focus was 1870-1930. He studied Mark Twain and the period of American history from 1780-1930, and sought out the odd and unusual moments of history. Michael began his college career as an art student, then art history major and has continued to have a love for art and artists. For fun, Michael reads newspapers from 100 years ago.

Look at that! A brand new novel for a new year!

The Love Formula hits shelves on 2/14, but you can preorder where ever you buy books now.
I'll be doing a video talking about the novel more on Thursday, but suffice it to say, this is my attempt at writing a romantic comedy. I've long been a fan of the genre and it felt about time that I put my twist on it. It's a quirky, fun book that asks hard questions about love and relationships.

Cheers!

The Love Formula

In 2010, Jenna McGuire, Michael Posada, and Kathy Armstrong are thirty-somethings who developed a service called The Love Formula in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The Love Formula achieved one of the rarest things possible: no user complaints. The media took that to mean it had a "100% success rate," but the team winced whenever it was pitched that way, fearing backlash. They were just glad they were helping people find happiness and being able to work with their best friends. Each of the friends uses the service to find their own matches and comes to terms with the technology in different ways. Jenna, who becomes the face of The Love Formula, struggles because she's approaching her 100th date without finding a perfect match. She balances feeling like a fraud selling a service that doesn't work for her, while also trying to find a happy relationship. The Love Formula is written in a tongue and cheek style that embraces the romantic comedies it references and is influenced by.

@JensJot thanks! I had been doing them for a while on social media, and only recently turned it into a podcast. Then I noticed... there's another podcast with the name. So, not nearly as original as I thought. But we do slightly different things. Oh well. :)
