‘Tis the Season to Feel Inadequate

Christmas comes but once a year; chaos never ends! Happy Halloween, merry Christmas and joyful Lumpy Rug Day. We didn’t make that up. Lumpy Rug Day is celebrated every May 3, though “celebrated” might be too strong a word.

It’s the American way to create a celebration for everything, then turn it into a chore or worse, a nightmare. ’Tis the Season to Feel Inadequate is a collection of humorous essays about holidays, special occasions and other times our celebrations make us feel not-so-celebratory. It’s understanding for those who think Christmas form letters can be honest—or they can be interesting. And it’s empathy for anyone who’s ever gotten poison ivy during Nude Recreation Week or eaten all their Halloween candy and had to hand out instant oatmeal packets to their trick-or-treaters.


Alexa’s a Spy and Other Things to Worry About, Humorous Essays on the Hazards of Our Time 

1st place winner 2021 National Federation of Press Women’s Communications Contest, Nonfiction Book for Adult Readers, Humor category.

Alexa's a Spy and Other Things to Be Ticked off About: Humorous Essays on the Hassles of Our Time is part comical call to arms and part tongue-in-cheek tirade. It’s a good-natured rant about what brings us down during the day and keeps us up through the night, a collection of humorous essays that laugh in the face of the peace thieves and
the joy robbers; from the spammers and scammers to the people trashing our
planet and the ones trashing our homes. (Who, us?) Too much stuff, too much
noise, too much technology. Not enough patience, not enough kindness, not
enough…chocolate? Now available on Amazon or wherever books are sold. For bulk purchases or personally signed books, contact the author directly.

I Didn’t Know You Could Make Birthday Cake from Scratch
