New Book Release:Self-Help 101 or: How I Learned to Take Over the World Through Tolerating My Family
I'd like to thank Cathrina for hosting me on the
final day of the blog tour for my Christmas novella
Self-Help 101 or: How I Learned to Take Over the
World Through Tolerating My Family! As much
fun as it’s been, it feels good to wrap things up.
Today I’d like to celebrate mistletoe. It’s a
parasitic plant that grows on trees, and apparently
it can even kill the host tree under some
circumstances. Yikes! It’s also a holiday favorite
and can be used to solicit kisses. If someone you
aren’t overly fond of is wielding mistletoe, look
out!
I decided to honor this feisty little organism with a
song. I wrote the lyrics, but it’s meant to be sung
to the tune of “O Christmas Tree.”
Oh mistletoe, oh mistletoeHow cunning are thy natureOh mistletoe, oh mistletoeHow cunning are thy nature
A parasite that latches onTo a tree till its food is goneOh mistletoe, oh mistletoeHow cunning are thy nature
Oh mistletoe, oh mistletoeHow people use you at partiesOh mistletoe, oh mistletoeHow people use you at parties
They hold you up to get a kissOr hang you so guests cannot missOh mistletoe, oh mistletoeHow people use you at parties
Oh mistletoe, oh mistletoeYou’ll ever be so cunningA symbol of all that’s sneakyYou’ll ever be so cunning
Each dangling bunchEach gleeful smileNone can deny thy crafty style
Oh mistletoe, oh mistletoeHow cunning are thy nature

Blurb:
Dani Finklemeier has decided to write a self-help book about how to take over the world, but she’s not sure where to start. After all, she’s only seventeen and looking for a better way to make money than babysitting. She buys a self-help book that promises to teach her how to write a self-help book in the hope of getting the job done.
Not that it’ll be easy to get any work done this holiday season. Her family is staying at the house for Christmas, and fights break out almost immediately. Dani also has to deal with the fallout from an unexpected kiss with her best friend Seth and the feelings that go along with it. On edge around her family and unsure how to interact with the one person she’s trusted with everything in the past, she can only take what inspiration she can from the crazy circumstances surrounding her and see what happens.
One way or another, it should be an interesting holiday.
Now I hope you’ll enjoy a short snippet from Self-Help 101 or: How I Learned to Take Over the World Through Tolerating My Family.
