Questionable Choices in Parenting

Laughing at life as a parent so they don't commit me

I’m in a new book and I’m sharing a sneak peek of the cover!

by

When I first started writing a blog I often feared that the only person that would read my posts (and laugh at them) would be my mom. Because, you know, she kinda has to. Luckily after almost two years of this silly blog being around, people other than the woman that birthed me read and like my blog! Success!!

Just so you know, I don’t just write about my epic parenting failures. No, no,no. I’m much more evolved than that. I also write about my epic marriage fails too–very versatile. So that is why I am THRILLED to tell you that I am going to be featured in another book.

Clash of the Couples is all about the absurd and ridiculous fights we have with our significant others. Now I can’t tell you what I wrote (you will need to read the book, silly), but you will totally take my side when you read my story. You should also tell my husband he owes me a big gift…a big shiny expensive gift… because of his nonsense.

The book will be out November 3 but I have a sneak peek of the cover for you!

Clash of the Couples Cover

About the book:

Coupledom. Fact or fable, Adam and Eve birthed the perpetual relationship drama as seen on TV today. Despite the serpents, this couple HAD IT MADE. Luxury real estate, lush gardens, and privacy out the yin-yang. Life was glorious until the bare-bottomed babe could no longer resist temptation. Despite her better half’s warnings and threats to sleep in a tree, she tasted the forbidden fruit. One bite of that seductive, juicy contraband and the stage was set for eternity— a nibble that has blossomed into an endless supply of tiny tidbits that divide lovers to this day!

Taking a cue from the naked explorers of authentic sin, Clash of the Couples is a new anthology featuring a collection of completely absurd lovers’ squabbles and relationship spats. Think couples fight over kids, sex, and money? Think again! Furniture, the last beer, and where to store the placenta are what genuinely ignite our feuds. And no argument is off limits. This book has it all!

Inside you’ll find a gut-busting compilation of stories such as: “I Can’t Believe You Ate My Sandwich,” “Never Assume Anything,” “Only I Can Talk About Me,” and “You Want Some College Boobs?” from forty-three fearless writers. Prepare to laugh, roll your eyes, and shiver in suspense. While Eve may have had the first bite, we ate the whole tree. And made pies.

Published by Blue Lobster Book Co., Clash of the Couples launches loudly and obnoxiously on November 3, 2014. You’ll hear us coming, but look for it on Amazon, B&N, Apple, and other places where you typically buy books. For instant updates, follow along on Facebook!
