My book is featured in the NJ star ledger today

Hope you don't mind if I brag a bit. I've been working on this book for the last 2 years, a collection of humorous essays about dealing with chronic illness and coming out on top. It comes out Feb. 1, 2011, but is available for pre-order now on amazon.com.

Super! It's in my Amazon cart. Love the cover. Did you come up with that? Saw a cute pattern for similar felted bunny slippers in the book "Knit One, Felt Too." Still beyond my capabilities I'm afraid. Anyway, can't wait to get your book! I'm really looking forward to being reminded of what's laughable about lupus. Maybe my disease process is too mild. Could be it's all a set-up for the big laughs later on. Congratulations on starting and finishing such a major undertaking!

P.S. Just noticed (belatedly) the link to your book review in the N.J. Star Ledger. LOL, and I mean really and truly "OL"--you are such a nut!

Hey Wendy
Thanks!
I have no graphics skills by the way- we had a graphic designer do the cover, the layout and all that.
I think I might have suggested bunny slippers at one point.
Anyhow, glad your problems are mild :)

I accidentally stumbled onto your blog while searching for humorous books on Lupus. I didn't want to read about "coping" "nutrition" etc. been there, done that. I'm always joking around about stuff, even my Lupus so was excited to see your book! I'm preordering NOW! Thank you!! Susie

Hi Susie! I agree. I've never liked the word "coping!" I much prefer "joking!" Glad you stumbled over- thanks for saying hello! Cheers from one perfectly twisted mind to another~
