Second Printing

I'm happy to report that there will be a second printing of NNAOPP.  Thanks to many of you've who've shared kind comments about the book.  The second edition will carry the following excerpts from your comments on the new/revised back cover of the book:


What Readers Are Saying About NNAOPP:

NNAOPP reminded me of Confederacy of Dunces.  Perhaps it was your turn of phrase, or perhaps just the amount of laughter while reading it.  Bless you for writing this book!  We all need the laughter in our lives!

Recently I have had several nights where I wake up at 2:30 unable to go back to sleep. I turned on the light and read chapters from your book (I keep it on my night stand) and have laughed out loud so much I scared my cat. 

There are not many books I have read in my life that have triggered spontaneous out loud laughter.  NNAOPP did. 

Your book arrived in my mailbox yesterday.  At 2 a.m. I became ill (24 hour bug?).  I began reading nude nuns today and have experienced a full recovery.  I attribute this speedy recovery to the frequent bursts of laughing out loud!

My continuous chuckles and outright laughter while reading NNAOPP in an airport caused a number of people to give me worried looks. The zany stories and characters described are certifiably true for anyone who grew up in the 1950s and attended college in the 1960s. This book is a great story of Midwestern Americana and a hilarious view on life that is rare and perhaps nearing extinction.

I just received this 'book review' from my 91-year old lesbian aunt.   She is a voracious reader, so I bought and sent her a copy when I purchased mine.  This is what she said, "I always meant to tell you that Nude Nuns & Other Peculiar People was one of the best funny books I've read in years. Loved the Nude Nuns story."

There is a line in Forrest Gump with Forrest sitting on the bench, and he had just finished telling the old lady on the park bench his life story.  The lady on the bench says, with a clear demeanor of mild disbelief, "What a beautiful story.  And you tell it so well." Your book is a great story, and you tell it very well.
