Award-winning author S.E. Linn serves up cringe, comedy, and catfish in a hilarious new take on the highs and horrors of digital romance.

Canada, August 3, 2025 -- Navigating Romance in the Age of Swipes, Ghosting, and Digital DisastersIn a world where first impressions are filtered through selfies, bios, and emojis, Canadian author and founder of Wild Child Publishing Ltd., S.E. Linn, plunges into the hilariously chaotic world of modern dating. Her latest book, Adventures of Online Dating: True Stories from the Shallow End of the Dating Pool, delivers laugh-out-loud stories and gut-punch truths from the front lines of love in the digital age. With biting wit and fearless honesty, Linn unpacks the emotional whiplash of dating apps—where catfish prowl, ghosting is a sport, and every match is just one red flag away from a meltdown.

This isn’t your average self-help guide—it’s a self-aware, memoir-style collection of true dating misadventures drawn from S.E. Linn’s own experiences and those of equally brave (and slightly scarred) souls. Readers are invited to laugh, cringe, and relate to the absurdity, vulnerability, and very real chaos of searching for love in the age of apps.

Fresh off her wins at the International Impact Book Awards—for The Premier Family Travel Guide: Banff National Park & the Canadian Rockies (Travel) and The Marmot in My Culvert (Children’s Education)—Linn returns with a bold new voice: candid, comedic, and delightfully unfiltered.

“Online dating is like rummaging through a thrift store,” Linn jokes. “You hope for a hidden gem, but more often it’s just weird smells and questionable stitching.”

From the “cat-hair covered sex toy guy” to two-timing alcoholic Vikings, she transforms awkward encounters into laugh-out-loud vignettes. Her greatest talent? Making readers feel less alone in the madness—and maybe, just maybe—seen. With whip-smart wit and unapologetic honesty, Linn invites readers to embrace the chaos, cringe at the familiarity, and find humor in the heartbreak.

Rather than packaging romance with a fairy-tale bow, Adventures of Online Dating leans into the messiness with humor and heart. Linn spotlights the beautifully flawed humanity behind every ghosted message and “left on read” moment.

From the shallow end of the dating pool, she delivers more than laughs. Beneath the satire lies a deeper commentary on self-worth, emotional fatigue, and the paradox of seeking connection in a world designed for convenience.

Whether you’re a seasoned swiper or a dating app skeptic, Linn’s book offers more than comic relief—it’s validation that your wildest dating story is just one of many.

S.E. Linn writes the way your best friend talks after two glasses of wine—blunt, hilarious, and unexpectedly insightful. Her voice is raw, relatable, and refreshingly unfiltered. Drawing from a background in women’s literature, ESL education, travel journalism, and graphic design, Linn brings a distinctive edge to every page.

Having visited over 25 countries and collected more than a few battle scars—from both travel and Tinder—her storytelling has the grit and charm of lived experience. These stories don’t just entertain; they connect. Through chaos and cringe, Linn reminds us that we’re never as alone as we think.

“I’m not a dating coach,” Linn says. “I’m the friend who’ll laugh with you about the guy who brought his mom to dinner—and then help you turn it into a killer story.”
