this month!
Judy Gruen's "Carpool Tunnel Syndrome: Motherhood as Shuttle Diplomacy", has just been published by Heaven Ink Publishing in Los Angeles. Each of the book's 29 chapters tackles another parenthood bugaboo. “Parlez Vous? Says Who?” questions the wisdom of trying to make kids learn Berber before they’ve outgrown Gerber, while “How Green Was My Checkbook” logs the iffy success of trying to save money by purchasing everything in five-gallon tubs at one of those supermarkets-on-steroids. “Pair of Dice, Lost” explains boys’ affinity for death-defying pranks while girls calmly play house, and “Tanks But No Tanks” chronicles the author’s attempt to provide her kids with low-maintenance pet fish, only to find the small aquatic creatures have the average life span of a soufflé. The title chapter of "Carpool Tunnel Syndrome" has been selected for inclusion in the next edition of Mirth of a Nation, an anthology of the best in contemporary humor (Perennial, 2002), and another chapter will be excerpted in Woman’s Day in March 2001. Gruen, a mother of four, is a veteran journalist who has written for Woman¹s Day, the Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune, Washington Times, L.A. Parent and many other publications. She earned her bachelor’s degree in English Literature from the University of California, Berkeley, and her master’s degree in journalism from Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism. "Carpool Tunnel Syndrome" has already garnered high praise from other writers, editors, and humorists. Mark Schiff, writer for “Mad About You” and “The Jay Leno Show,” said, “The only problem is you can’t read this book in public unless you don¹t mind people watching you laugh out loud. Do yourself a favor and get rid of the kids, get some coffee and sit down and read "Carpool Tunnel Syndrome." And Chris Erskine, Los Angeles Times columnist, wrote, “Judy Gruen has the same wacky touch as Erma Bombeck.” "Carpool Tunnel Syndrome" may not absolve parents from 3:15 carpool duty, but it will make the drive a more fun. Take our advice: read two chapters and call us in the morning.

"LETTERS IN MY CASKET" (excerpt) Memories simmered in my mind. Mother, how many times did you watch me, as a little kid, march through the house? You never spoiled my fun by telling me that black women were banned from the ranks. Instead, you and Daddy drilled in me greatness. Complaining was unwelcome. ====================================== Today every room in our house was raked through. Our things were viciously ripped apart .The dark hour was without a moon and stars. No dogs were howling and there was no warm breath. Just cold frozen bodies like stiffened prey lying in wait for finality. ===================================== I was born crippled. My arms and legs are deformed. Were you born with problems? Do you have problems? Will you come with me? Let's close our eyes, take a deep breath, and say "Good-bye" to our physical worlds. We're going on a journey to meet some people written about in the Bible. Along the way I will also introduce you to others not found within these pages. I saw them in my spirit. ===================================== A step-by-step guide that offers tools that you can integrate into your own marketing plan. These suggestions have been strategies used by authors to pull their books out of boxes, onto book shelves, and into a customer's hands. Here's how to get attention for your published book, from two authors who have practiced what they preach. ======================================

* Is something missing in your life? Miracles can happen when a woman prays... Tap into the power of prayer and change your life. The too-busy life of every woman, wife, or mother is what most often gets in the way of an effective prayer life. The very things that mean the most to us--home, family, friends, church or job--are the same ones we allow to keep us from making prayer a vital part of our lives. "When A Woman Prays" teaches you how to move prayer from the role of crisis-management or after-thought to become the central powerhouse of a full and rewarding life. -- Sally E. Stuart, author of the annual "Christian Writers' Market Guide" and a dozen other books. "Wisdom is always simple, and Tina makes prayer seem simply attractive
and simply done. If you've had any questions about prayer, Tina answers
them and will inspire you in her book to pray...pray...pray and never
stop!" -- Kathy Collard Miller, speaker and author of "Why
Do I Put So Much Pressure On ...an exceptionally honest book that hits just about every chord a woman experiences in life. But it goes one step further. It teaches women to turn to the only true source that can fill all the empty spaces and offer complete contentment, regardless of what is happening in and around her--God. -- Alyice Edrich, freelance writer and author
