ABOUT THE AUTHOR ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
THE SYNOPSIS The Fruitcake Special is an amusing story about Anna, a chemist, who creates a perfume that has an extraordinary  effect on men. Her boss, David Amos, is instantly  smitten  with her the minute he smells the perfume on Anna. Chaos  ensues when Anna and David dine together  as Anna also becomes the object of the waiter’s affection. Anna asks her Aunt Mimi for more information about the fruitcake before  coming to a dead end. Guided by his jealous girlfriend Sabina, David offers a money-based apology to Anna, who decides to leave  for a rival company. Anna’s love life develops together with  her career as she is wooed by Armstrong, her local pizza delivery man, who is now a pizza owner.
