Is It Spicy?

I love this cute little cover.

And it goes with a cute little story. One of those whiny, autobiographical Jewish experience stories.

Yes, I have a Jewish mother. She’s an awful lot like Marie Barone on Everybody Loves Raymond. Has a seemingly innocent knack for complimenting you and insulting you at the same time. You never know if you’re coming or going.

The read is only $.99 on Kindle and Nook. I’m proud of the shortie and the cover. This is the first cover I came up with myself. Searched far and wide for some art work showing a woman trying to kill herself by drowning in a bowl of chicken soup, i.e., Jewish penicillin. But short of ripping off a scene from Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman, I couldn’t find anything suitable.

    lol. I love the cover. That’s so funny about your mom. Too bad you couldn’t find that pic with the chicken soup. I must be a Jewish girl deep down inside because I consider it a penicillin too. My husband actually had to ask me a few days why I’m always cooking chicken soup. I’m going to give it a read this weekend!

    I LOVE your cover. I like the one coming up too. :) So how is JR Barrett doing these days? Has Incorporeal proved you right to those two publishers?

  4. Love the sneer.
    My mother and your mother, they’re both mothers.

  9. Hi Mia! Thanks! J.R. is going well, thank you. Big initial sales…tapering off. Sigh.
