Now is the time to discover this funny, quirky, romantic winner that everyone will soon be talking about.

From the Back Cover

Cassandra can see the future with 100% accuracy . . . for everybody except herself.

Ever since Cassandra was a little girl, she's had a remarkable psychic gift. Now a successful columnist for a weekly magazine, she predicts the future with uncanny precision. And thanks to her stunning co-worker Charlene--and the latest love of Charlene's life, hot television producer Jack--Cassandra's moving up . . . to daytime TV!

The trouble is, whenever Jack's around, the hapless seer's second sight goes dim--something that always seems to happen when a desirable single male is around. But despite a truly abysmal dating record, she believes Jack is the one for her . . . though Charlene might strongly disagree. Is true love or outrageous catastrophe right around the corner? Cassandra doesn't have a clue. But it seems even being able to foretell the future can't protect her from what destiny has in store . . . and sometimes fate won't allow you to look before you love.

Delightfully warm, odd, and unforgettable, Claudia Carroll's I Never Fancied Him Anyway is a quirky and hilarious story of seeing . . . and believing.

Review Quotes

"Carroll works the work vs. love trade-off with outrageous comic detours . . . a sincere but sharp-witted voice." - Publishers Weekly
"Irish author Carroll's entertaining read asks the perennial question: Does a woman really need a man? With its older heroine, it may strike a chord with readers outgrowing traditional chick lit but not yet ready for mom lit." - Library Journal
"Buoyed by a charming cast of characters, Carroll's second novel will have readers rapidly turning the pages to find out if Amelia finds her man and lives happily ever after--with or without him." - Booklist
