My Book
My first book, The Meat and Potatoes of Life: My True Lit Com, was released on May 1, 2020!
Description:
Lisa leaves her law career to become a navy wife and Supermom, but somewhere between 'I do' and 'deploying again,' waves of chaos threaten to overtake her. She has everything she ever wanted—a husband who knows his chardonnay but can’t identify a Phillips-head screwdriver, a quirky son with his own agenda, a daughter who dreams of world domination, another who longs for world peace, a puppy, and a minivan—but it may be more than she can handle.
Overwhelmed, Lisa hyperventilates when the DVR reaches 98 percent. Her eye twitches at every ping of her smartphone. She is riddled with anxiety over picking the right sugar substitute. Will she survive the endless minutiae of modern family life, or will she end up on the laundry room floor eating chocolate frosting out of a can?
Grab some popcorn, snuggle up, and get ready to binge-read Lisa’s true literary comedy, her search amidst the madness to find meaning in the meat and potatoes of life.
