About this author

edit data

I used to write for TV but when I became pregnant, I didn't want to work the long hours anymore. Besides, once I realized that pregnancy sucks, it gave me the perfect fodder for my first book entitled, "Pregnancy Sucks: What to do When Your Miracle Makes you Miserable". That led to ten other books in the Sucks series, plus my new book, "The Stay-at-Home Martyr".

It was a quick read, and had I been twenty years younger, had a face full of zits and a mouth full of braces, I no doubt would have enjoyed it more.
