I can't wait to have someone notice it on my shelf and ask what in the hell I'm doing with an actual book that actually has the words butt monkeys in the title. And then I can shove it at them with that slightly manic bookworm look and tell them to read it too. It's going on the wishlist.S.E.

I think there's a tendency to pigeonhole 'funny' books, as well as scifi, into YA as well. It causes authors a few headaches when something is labelled YA and you've been debating whether it should have an 'adult' tag!<br />I've put my name down to help and readJemima Petthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17110647375899927233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3135357215614759422.post-18411144302567170462022-04-06T08:26:29.452-04:002022-04-06T08:26:29.452-04:00(((HUGS)))on the trials and tribs of publishing.

I was lucky to be a stay at home mom writer until my guys were in middle school and then learned to get up at 4:30 am to write before getting the kids up. Nothing I could at this point in my life and glad I don't have to.
