"Childproofed" - all formats, $1.99

ETA: Price has been reduced to .99

My novella, Childproofed, is available for all mobile readers through amazon and smashwords. Here is my pitch so you can see if it fits your taste.

Motherhood sometimes seems as though it's not all it's cracked up to be. Sleepless nights, baby fat, bits of spit up clinging to my clothes and hair...certainly not what I envisioned it as being. Sometimes I wonder where the real Virginia went - the person I used to be before I was just someone's wife or mother. Now I find out a hot, young girl is after my husband. Perfect. This is the life of a mother. It's real, and it's definitely nothing like a baby ad.

I hope you'll give it a try. Please let me know what you think, I love hearing comments.

Here is a link to a guest author spot I did on a published author's blog, in case you're interested in reading a little more about the concept behind the book.

This is a cool story, especially for anybody who is (or remembers being) a parent of young kids. My youngest is 11 (going on 16, yeah, she's a she) and this brought back memories. It's all wrapped around a tight little story...

A wonderful review for "Childproofed" from Willow at "Working Girl Reviews"...

It's not just for moms! A great review from a dad who enjoyed it!

Even though I may not be the target audience I really enjoyed this story. I was heavily involved in taking care of my own kids, who are now teens, and so I could really identify with the elation and exhaustion that Virginia feels. Although there's a lot of action crammed into the pages the story has a realistic feel to it. It's hard not to cheer as Virginia pulls herself together and -- well, no spoilers here. It just went by all too fast.

I didn't see the ending coming either -- that was a nice surprising twist.

Nice job, author, I'll be looking for your next release!
