Top ten reasons to buy the P-Town Queen instead of a mocha frappuccino

It can be a tough choice:



Buy a Mocha Frappuccino 

or











Download a copy of the P-Town Queen

At just under four dollars, they both cost about the same.

Here's why you should opt for the book:

1. The P-Town Queen will give you hours of enjoyment. A few minutes with the frap and you're done.
2. The P-Town Queen is calorie free. In fact, you may burn a few calories while reading.
3. Take the frap to the beach and you risk getting sand in your mouth. Not  a problem with the P-Town Queen.
4. There's nothing to throw away when you finish The P-Town Queen.
5. You don't have to stand in line at the coffee shop to buy a copy of the P-Town Queen.
6. If you accidentally knock The P-Town Queen off the coffee table, it will not spill all over the rug.
7. Have you ever read the side of frap cup? Boring!
8. Laughing out loud while reading The P-Town Queen will not leave you wishing you'd brought along a change of clothes.
9. When you finish The P-Town Queen, you can loan it to a friend. Try doing that with a frap.
10. Laughing out loud at mocha frappuccino is just plain weird.

Of course, you could always get BOTH  The P-Town Queen and the Mocha Frappuccino and still get change back from your ten!

Insecure Writer: OMG it's in print!


Click on image for more writer insecurities

I worry about many things—the health and well being of my family, running out of money and having to live in a refrigerator box, whether or not the tiny spot on my wrist is a bug bite or something that will require amputation.  This week I have something new to worry about; my romantic comedy P-Town Queen has been released.  P-Town is meant to be funny. Writing funny means taking risks—the biggest risk being that others will view me as crazy.
            To write well, be it comedy or something more serious, you need to push boundaries. You need to ride hard and fast into uncharted territory with little thought to what the mailman or the barista at Starbucks will think of you. That’s not always easy to do. In the confines of your writer’s garret, locked away from the world, you can manage it. But then the wonderful terrible thing happens: you get published. All those words come out of the dark garret into the light. You’ve been exposed. The mailman and the barista will know you're just a few bucks and fender bender from complete lunacy. You feel like you have to change your name and address.
From now on, if anyone asks, I’m Mary Smith.
