Synopsis
From Book :
Don't read this in bed!
Especially if you're lying beside your sleeping spouse.
Or while you're eating breakfast.
Or at work.
Or at the library.
Or any other time where silence is golden or you have your mouth full.
Hi! I'm Jessie Gussman and I get emails all the time from people who spewed their coffee/half-chewed toast/cereal out all over their e-reader.
Or who woke up their spouse while reading my newsletter because they were laughing so hard.
Or who save my emails until they get home from work because they don't have the kind of job where howling and rolling on the floor is acceptable conduct.
But not every story in this book is laugh-out-loud funny.
Some of them will make you cry.
Some will make you think.
And some of them will make you shake your head and wonder how in the world someone like me has made it through life without being put in a straight jacket and carted away.
Not even close. I get paid to write love stories.
Lol Life is weird, I agree.
I'm a wife, mother and farmer by day, romance novelist by night and in my spare time, I write about my life from prison.
Kidding about the prison part. (At the time of this writing, anyway. No one has figured out if there was actually a body in the car that's buried in my dad's back yard – that story's in the book, along with the time I caught myself on fire and my kid was laughing too hard to blow me out, how to charge a 1600 pound, angry mama cow (and why you'd want to), odd Amish courting rituals (involving frogs), and how not to fall out of your husband's Peterbilt as he's driving down the interstate.)
There is a lot of faith, family and fun in my fiction books, and WARNING: my real life has a ton of all that, too.
But life on the farm is not always fun. Sometimes it's hard and sometimes it hurts and those stories are in here, too.
Thanks so much for choosing to spend a little time with me today!
Love,
Jessie
“I wake up each Tuesday looking forward to your emails. They are so uplifting and inspiring not mention hysterical. You uplift and make me snort with laughter at the same time.”
“I just want you to know how much I love to live through your humorous, well told antics of living on a chicken farm! It is a real look into a life I truly love to hear about. There is no doubt of your writing talent to be sure!”
“Thank you for making my day and making me think in turns. I'm just glad I wasn't eating that chicken queso soup that is thawing out in my kitchen while I was reading about your lunch conversation! You had me busting out laughing!...and right after you had me thinking about accepting all the joy and pain in life with grace. Thank you for being you.”
“You took a break from the newsletter then came back first with Wacko making me laugh for a good fifteen minutes then with a sermon on good books that made me cry with its accuracy!”
“Look forward to Tues mornings. So uplifting and amusing.”
“I've read your newsletter over twice and still bust out laughing when you talk about the conversation you and Watson had in the restaurant.”
Especially if you're lying beside your sleeping spouse.
Or while you're eating breakfast.
Or at work.
Or at the library.
Or any other time where silence is golden or you have your mouth full.
