Is this author overexposing herself? Close Calls…escaping by the skin of my… “Before we even knew what he hit, Arab men appeared from every nook and cranny.

Fresh Earthworms Taste Green (The Early Years) Roger Huff
iUniverse, Inc., 2005
Fresh Earthworms Taste Green is NOT another typically dull autobiography, and should completely dispel notions that growing up in mid-America during the 1950s was boring, uneventful, or not as much fun as it is these days. Anybody who has ever been a kid will find Fresh Earthworms Taste Green to be entertaining and perhaps even a little reminiscent of days of his or her own youth. Author ...

OMG this book is SO hilarious!
+ One of the better memoirs I've read in a while + Babycakes is my hero!
Be prepared to be unable to stop laughing! The title story was my favorite, tied with "Litter String" (which is one of several stories written from the POV of Babycakes the cat). I can't wait to read more by this fantastic writer!

Bustin' Chops Gary O'Callaghan
iUniverse, Inc., 2004
Some children seem born with a preordained talent for mischief. In most cases, it is neither mean spirited nor evil, but just plain childish trouble making. Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn excelled at this type of behavior. With advancing age, one can use previous experience to fine tune a more premeditated type of mischief. The end result is a greater sense of self-gratification. Graduating from ...

Paula's book was great!
+ Weird. Charming + Funny and unusual
I bought Paula's book on CD. What could be better than listening to Paula's book being read by Paula? Paula is funny and always entertaining. I can highly recommend buying the book on CD. I can also honestly say I didn't read the book because she read it for me. It doesn't get any better!
