Clash of the Couples

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, !
