New Indie Book Release: The Sock Wars (Maia Sepp)


New Indie Book Release:
The Sock Wars - Maia Sepp -
Contemporary Fiction (December 3, 2012)

“This novel is a heartfelt, and sometimes humorous, look at what can happen when an almost 30 year old tries to renovate her house and her life. It’s a little like When Harry met Sally, but with a lot more contractors."

About the Book

The Sock Wars (Maia Sepp)
Click to Read an Excerpt
Lucy Tuttle is a workaholic financial planner whose biggest worry is how to line up the sticky notes on her desk just so, until her only relative dies a car accident halfway across the world.

Suddenly Lucy (apartment-dwelling, doesn't-own-a-hammer Lucy) inherits a handyman's delight on the other side of town. Her boyfriend, a laid back environmentalist with an affinity for organic lentils and sock thievery, convinces Lucy to move into her aunt's brokendown house.

The two of them embark on a quest to settle down, renovate her aunt's home, and start a family-but as it turns out, living happily ever after in a house that's about to be condemned isn't so easy after all.



The characters and settings are well drawn. Indeed, the whole book is well written, with realistic conversation, atmospheric description and scene-setting and a plausible, likeable narrator.”
