The Yuge Wall of Jina: It's Bigly (And Releases March 28th!)

Pre-Order Available in eBook

The first book in The Face Palm Chronicles is up for pre-order (woot!) You can click here to view and/or buy it at Amazon. FYI: This was listed as $4.49 online, but it will actually be $2.99 upon release. (I'm a stickler when it comes to the pricing being justified by the word count as I'm neither a fan of overvaluing nor devaluing my work!!) At any rate, if you pre-ordered it at a higher price, Amazon doesn't charge you until release day anyway so you'll still only be charged $2.99.

What To Expect

First of all, expect to belly laugh from start to finish 😉 This series spoofs the political idiocy that is our current reality in the USA, while offering unmistakable commentary on where I see the divisive path we're on leading to. I don't hit you over the head with it because my ultimate goal is to give you a cathartic laugh. I guess you could say I keep my message in the subtleties (i.e. the book is set in a future where the USA doesn't exist) and leave it at that.

Why I'm Writing In A Genre I'm Not Known For 

First of all, comedy is still comedy. That I usually write it in another genre doesn't mean my style has changed. Secondly and bluntly, I needed the emotional release writing these stories provided me with. I wrote the series for myself, my mom, and my daughters—they love it by the way!—because all 4 of us were changed by the 2016 election... and not in a good way. 

I think this series provides an emotional release through laughter that the average person in this country badly needs right now. Although I wrote it for those of us who are very much against everything Trump is and stands for, I hope those who disagree still read this if for no other reason than to get an understanding of where we're coming from... and hopefully develop some empathy that—currently—is lacking at best and nonexistent at worst.

Cheers

Here's to laughter. It's still the best medicine ✌
