Book Description
Jennifer Whitney was the last American virgin.
At least that’s what she felt like in 1986 as she began her sophomore year at
Central Illinois University. She was proud of her decision to wait for the
right guy, and yet she was getting restless. It seemed like everyone around her
was doing it... and having fun doing it, too. She didn’t want to become the
campus slut or anything, but surely there was a difference between a trashy
skank and a nice girl with a little experience. Perhaps it was time to stop
relying on fate to guide her and instead take matters into her own hands. And
with that realization, Jen decided to find “the one” and lose her virginity,
although not necessarily in that order...
FACTS ABOUT THREE
DAVES PART 2
By Nicki Elson
·
Jennifer
Whitney is the ultimate average girl…who comes up with a far from average plan
to lose her virginity while maintaining her “virtue.”
·
The
piece of crap Sapporo that David drives is a replica of the piece of crap
Sapporo that my real-life friend Ed drove. A tidbit that didn’t make it into
the book is that on a road trip, Ed and his buddies once plugged a leak in the
windshield with a McDonald’s cheeseburger. Gross but effective.
·
The
only character based wholly on someone I know in real life is Jen’s godmother,
Aunt Lou, who is based on my real-life godmother…yes, she’s read the book and
now wants to be called Aunt Lou (you’ll see why—she’s sooo fabulous).

If
you download the songs mentioned throughout the story, you’ll have the most
awesome 80s playlist ever. Or you can listen here
if you’re on Spotify.[Link: https://play.spotify.com/user/nickielson/playlist/6LFfHUfi87cOdR6MswDJnE]

As
often happens in real life, the girls Jen meets in the dorm freshman year end up
becoming her college-long, and most likely, lifelong friends—and they prove
themselves to be sometimes obnoxious, sometimes bossy, but always loyal…with a
catfight thrown in for good measure.
About
the Author
Writing wasn't something Nicki set out
to do; it just sort of happened when she realized writing reports was by far
her favorite part of her investment consulting position. She traded stock
allocation and diversification for story arcs and dialogue and now weaves her
creative writing time in with the other activities of her busy life with her
family in the Chicago suburbs.
Nicki writes with two goals in mind: #1 to keep the characters realistic, even when their circumstances are anything but, and #2 to make the reader feel. Her published works include Three Daves, a light-hearted romantic romp through a 1980s college campus, Divine Temptation, a romantic novel of angelic proportions, and short stories “Sway” (available as a single), “I Don’t Do Valentine’s Day” (part of A Valentine Anthology), and “Impressionism 101” (included in the debut issue of Insatiable: The Magazine of Paranormal Desire).
