I’m so excited to announce the cover reveal of my new book! I started with Tidbits from Help Meets’ Hearts, I finished a 30 Day Fitness Devotional which I’m now shopping to a publisher and now, here I am, with my words hitting the printed page with the Clash of the Couples.
As you know, I’ve had my hands full with my newest mover and my toddler who thinks pushing her sister is all in fun…. and that sleep is not necessary for herself or others. The few minutes that I have had alone, I submitted pieces to anthologies. If you do not know, an anthology is a collection of pieces of writing. In this case, over forty writers have come together to share their stories of troubles in paradise. These small peeks into our lives are funny, but very real.
The book is set to release November 3 on Amazon! Please let me know if you’d like to know when the book is out!
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, !

Congrats on your new book! As a newlywed, I love reading stories about married couples…especially witty ones!
I do too! I always want to see what others are going through. I am very proud to write a humorous story!
I'm so glad you're in this and I can't wait to read it. Awesome job!!
Yay! Thanks so much!
YAY!!! I'm so glad you and I are in the same book April!!
Excited to be in it!
I think it's got to be so fun to be published. Big congrats to you, that's really a nice accomplishment.
I'm excited to be in it! I am really going to write more! I really enjoy it.
That sounds like a fun book! I definitely want to check it out when it comes out.
Don't worry, I'll be posting about it many times over! I want this book to be a success!
This is definitely a must-read topic. I can't wait to see what it's like when the book launches.
It was fun to write. I will be letting everyone know when it launches!
That cover cracks me up every time I see it! Can't wait to read the book!
I love the cover… just racy enough!
Wow! Good for you! This is exciting. I hope your book is a best seller. There is always something to write about when it comes to couples.
I would LOVE to be a best seller! I'm starting to get back into writing and I am so excited to be part of this anthology!
Congrats on the book! I would love to know when it is publshed!
I will definitely post when it's for sale! November 3rd for your calendar (*wink, wink*)
This is hilarious. I bet that was fun to shoot. Eye catching too.
LOL! I wasn't at the shoot, but I'm sure it was a fun one!
I think I want to have a copy of this as well. I have Mother of all Meltdowns but this one just cracks me up from just reading the blurb and you just gotta love that cover.
I was so jealous of MOAM… so excited to be in this new one! I love the cover.
Congratulations! The cover definitely had me wondering what was going on! x
LOL! Couples have been arguing since the dawn of time! I'm sure Eve had some problems with Adam!
Congrats on your new book and accomplishing it with the lack of sleep and busy mom life! I bet it is going to have everyone who reads it rolling on the floor in laughter.
I hope so. I was excited to complete it to submit it on time! LOL!
Oh my I have to read this book it sounds too good to pass up. Adding it to my reading list so when it comes out.
Thanks! We would love that!
yay! this call for a celebration!
I am itching to see your part in there
Can wait to read the funny and familiar scenes
LOL! Not sure some people would approve, but it is the truth of our relationship! I love the idea that we all have disagreements and we manage to make it through.
I love the concept. How fun and exciting! Congratulations and keep me posted on the date.
November 3rd is the date… but I will be posting again when it releases!
So exciting for you! It looks like a fabulous book and the cover is just priceless. Best of luck with it!
LOL! I love the cover. Draws people in.
Sounds like a hilarious book! What a great lineup, too!
Some great writers in the group, I'm honored to be among them.
Congrats to you! I love your cover. It is something I would grab (and I am a cover snob!).
Wow! I'm truly honored. I haven't picked up too many books (I'm an e-reader girl lately).
Good luck with the book. The cover is too funny.
LOL! I thought so too.
Big congrats to you! This book looks wonderful, and funny! Those are my favorite books by far.
It should be… I know that many people are hilarious writers and I'm honored to be among them.
I love the cover and I think I would really enjoy this book. Congratulations and good luck. I can't wait to read it.
That's amazing! You're new book looks like it's going to be a good read.
I'm so excited for it to come out!
Congratulations! The cover looks amazing. The title is very interesting as well.
We all have arguments and I think we feel somewhat alone when we're going through only to find out that others have the same silly arguments.
I would read it for sure. I want to see if people fight about the same stupid and silly stuff we do!
I'm sure it is. We rarely argue about real serious issues.
This sounds like an amazing book. I can't wait to get it to read it.
Excited to have it come out!
That sounds very interesting and entertaining! Congrats
I hope it will be. It was fun writing my portion!
This sounds like a very interesting book I will have to look into it further.
I hope you do!
Congratulations! I'm sure we fight about some pretty silly things too!
I think it's the nature of living with someone else and always having to come up with a solution. Sometimes it works, other times… well, not so much.
This looks like a great read! Some of the stuff couples fight about is just ridiculous.
Yes… but it just happens when people live together.
What a clever cover. I love writing and publishing – it is like birthing a baby. Congratulations!
This is my first true book birth. I'm SO excited! I hope many will come.
First of all congrats on being published. I like the choice of cover. It would surely entice couples to pick it up and read it.
It's definitely interesting. I think it's thought provoking and makes you want to see what it is.
Oh my gosh this sounds like such a good read! & I have to admit that I'm curious about the placenta story. LOL
LOL! So am I!
Congratulation and good luck.. Shared on SU
