You Can't Iron a Wrinkled Birthday Suit


Book Description

Zany women and their pets have fun getting older. "When I get old, I hope to have friends as awesome as these. This is an absolutely feel good novel. Naturally, our intrepid characters, wattles and all, undergo all sorts of trials, but it's the compassion and generosity they exhibit that endears the reader." -- Sam Sanders, via NetGalley Zany families, eccentric friends, and ne-er-do-well neighbors inhabit the labyrinthine lives of three women friends as they grapple with real world events in one "Golden Year." An unwelcome visit from local law enforcement, a younger friend's romantic chaos, and the death of a parent combine with daily mundanities---laundry, scones, and senior sex---to create a walloping, raucous read. Opinionated pets---critics and alter egos---offer a rich counterpoint to the human dramas affecting their lives. Unfiltered and compelling, this entertaining sago provides readers of all ages with a new and positive view of growing older.

Birthday Suit of God


Book Description

Showing up to a birthday party in your birthday suit is probably not a good idea. But stripping reality down to its roots is. That's exactly what the tongue-in-cheek philosopher Nigel Quinn does. Between amazingly figuring out how to become a god himself, and teaching God how to become a better God, he discovers secrets of the universe that could change the fundamental ways in which human beings perceive reality. This is a story that calls out to the free spirit that dwells within us all; that spirit that longs to strip the meaning of life down to its birthday suit and then laugh at the beautiful naked hilarity/singularity of it all.

On impulse, Rachel inquires about a management position at a brewery hotel on an island in Lake Erie called Kelleys Island. When she’s offered the job, Rachel packs up her daughter and makes the cross country move. What she finds on Kelleys Island is Mason, a handsome, moody man who knows everything about brewing beer and nothing about running a hotel.
