I Just Want To Be Alone. You Want It Too.

As most of you know, I’m rather fond of writing about my husband. You know, things like how I can’t understand a single word out of his mouth, and how I have to go to dramatic lengths to get him home from work on time, and how I test out his level of psychosis with large yellow vegetables. Not to mention the signage I leave around the house for him when I get tired of saying things for the 3000th time.

The truth of the matter is that he’s a great guy or he wouldn’t be so okay with me talking about his silly foibles all over the internet.

Since you all seem to enjoy these frank and funny posts about my husband, I’ve got something you’re gonna simply adore.  It’s a WHOLE BOOK making fun of about the men in our lives.

It just happens to be the sequel to the #1 best-selling book I was in last year at this time called “I Just Want To Pee Alone.”  If you somehow missed that one, get your copy by clicking on the image below.

Here’s what amazon has to say about the new book, “I Just Want To Be Alone.”

Don’t get us wrong, we love the men in our lives – we do (most of the time). It’s just that sometimes we would like them to go away. Not forever or anything like that. Just for an hour… or a day… or a weekend. We want some time to ourselves to read a good book or take a walk or do anything other than try to make a dent in the never ending mound of dirty clothes that keeps piling up on his side of the bed. We just want to be alone. All alone. Is that too much to ask?

I Just Want to Be Alone is a collection of humorous essays from 37 of the most Super Cool Lady Writers* you’ll find on the web.

I will diverge for just a moment to say that I’m extremely excited to be adding “Super Cool Lady Writer” to my resume just below “Kick Ass Blogger.”  And I file both of those under the heading “Otherwise Unemployable.”

Now back to the book.  You’ll find 38 essays about all kinds of men in our lives – there are many husbands, but also boyfriends and sons – and while I know there’ll be an awful lot to laugh at, I’m sure there’s no shortage of, ahem, love to go around either.  But probably mostly laughter.  Definitely laughter.

My essay is called “Cleanup in Aisle Four” and is about a little adventure Gabe and I took to the North Carolina mountains…or maybe it was just to Walgreen’s.  Either way, there was no shortage of fall foliage.  It just wasn’t exactly where it shoulda been.  But you’ll see what I mean.

Now, here’s a really exciting bit of news: Amazon has given us a pre-order button. You might not know this from your previous book-buying experiences (I know I didn’t) but this is an invitation-only, exclusive, pretty big deal kind of thing. This means you can reserve your copy NOW, before it’s even released on March 22nd!

You won’t be alone, as you can see above.  The book just became available for pre-order today and the kindle version is already the #1 Hot New Release and the #2 best-seller in Parenting and Family Humor.  So don’t wait around.  Get in there and pre-order your paperback copy today by clicking the image below.

If you prefer a signed version, email me at [email protected] and we’ll work something out.

Now just to get you really excited, here’s a list of the Super Cool Lady Writers in the book.  Go ahead — get your order in.  If I were you — and I could pretend to be if I were wearing your skin — I’d order several.  They make great gifts, a kick-ass book club pick, and really — you might as well hand them out to all your girlfriends so you can laugh about the stories together as you read them.
