Dates Outta Hell, is Nicole’s post-divorce, excruciating search to find love, although she’s not so sure that it exists. As a reporter, she uses her Internet dates as research for her column, with very mixed results. This is her story.
…”Dates From Hell is a diabolically funny portrayal of the humiliating world of on-line dating. Ms. Hudson offers us a rogue’s gallery of vain, ingenuous, sneaky, and sometimes even criminal men. I laughed the whole way through it.”

Anne has never seen anyone die before, much less abet a felony; As a new partner in her friend Trudy’s real estate business, she sells the houses of elderly, terminally ill clients and helps them die. Approaching middle-age and recently dumped by her long-term boyfriend, Anne begins to question her own involvement: Is she helping people, or is she a murderess? This dilemma has given her a knot in her neck that no amount of massage can relieve. When Anne meets Steve, the attractive son of one of their one of their recently euthanized clients, her guilt is compounded. Anne quits the business, but she has promised two clients a ‘last hurrah’ in the form of a Mediterranean cruise. On the first day at sea, Steve, who doesn’t know Anne’s role in his mother’s death, surprises her by appearing on board.
This often funny but poignant novel explores friendship, elderly companionship and fresh love, along with the suspense of not knowing if Anne will have to pay for her illegal activities. In the end, the reader is left both satisfied and considering some hard issues. Beside its insights into Anne’s relationships and her beliefs, the story raises questions relevant to a baby-boomer population dealing not only with aging parents, but also their own mortality. It explores the issues around the morality of assisted suicide, making the reader question what he or she would do.
