Here's the thing about LOVE IN THE TIME OF TAFFETA and my own personal prom experience: I never went to my prom. I had the date, the dress, the dyed-to-match shoes, and the limo, but then I got a really bad case of mono. If you want to read the whole sad saga, you can check the Little Black Book pages in the novel. Suffice to say I got over it, although at the time I was pretty crushed. The worst part that was I never got to witness all those hideous 80s prom dresses up close.

So here's your chance to take me back to that dreamy catering hall of my youth. Send me your prom photo, and the three most, ahem, unique dresses will be featured on this Web site and the winners will each receive a signed copy of LOVE IN THE TIME OF TAFFETA. Submit your pix today, and make me proud!
