Sue Goldberg aka Elephant's Child and, oops, Tori Spelling

Dear Sillies,
   Sue Goldberg is one of the most special of all the special people in blogland. I can't think of a more generous, heartfelt person. Her words are eloquent. Sue readily gives of her time to save lives, and she never hesitates to do favors for me.
   So when I asked if she'd read and write some words about InSanity, I got this from her within a few days, despite her own obligations and stresses. Thank you, Sue. You're remarkable beyond words.

“I guzzled it. If you are after sunshine and roses, this book is NOT for you. If you can cope with suicide, pain, grief, frustration and anger with a generous helping of laughter and hope, come along for a dramatic, no holds barred ride . . . 

Sue Goldberg, Blogger, Elephant’s Child 

And now, InSanity's COVER REVEAL:

 Oh no! Oh no, no, no! How did a fat Tori Spelling get in here? So sorry! In Tori's defense, though, she's desperate to save her marriage and they can't afford Viagra. So she got pregnant for the 6th time and must've hacked into my account to post this photo, that *bleepin* *bleep*. 

Here's a slice of the real InSanity cover:

Please stay tuned for more thank yous, year end stuff, Santa Erotica...Please also take gentle care. It's a tough time, emotionally, and pretty much in all ways.
I love you, my dears.

Not-so-subtle advertising of my upcoming book will continue a bit longer:

   I don’t think I’m insane.  I don’t want to be.  Am I merely in denial of my insanity? As we know, denial is its own form of insanity. So, I’m insane for believing that I’m sane and not insane. Right? If you’re confirming my insanity and you’re insane too, can we be normal together? Because if you’re sane but I’m insane, I don’t want your company. And if you’re insane but I’m sane, feel free to drop by whenever I’m bored. You entertain me. Don’t stick around too long, though. You exhaust me.  from page 61 of InSanity

  1. "I guzzled it" -- what a perfect expression! And yikes, Tori Spelling, I feel bad for her about that unflattering photo.

    1. Thank you, Debra. Oh, Tori. I guess if you're going to feel for her, this photo is a good reason. Oy.

    1. You have that runaway train too, Annalisa? Smiles. We all do. Or so I tell myself so as to not feel "insane." Smiles.

      Thank you.
      Be warm and well over there.

  5. My mind is spinning right now especially since I am falling asleep due to not getting enough sleep during the night plus my dog is blowing farts that could make Putin go insane.

    1. You just won COMMENT OF THE YEAR, Birgit. But wait, I have to compare this to other comments made by...YOU. Sorry you had a lousy sleep, though, and that I'm so entertained by this.

      Hugs and quality rest to you.

  7. I tried to blow up your new cover to get a better look at it but it wouldn't blow. That's going to be a very small book.

    1. Haha. "It wouldn't blow," you say? I could go all sorts of directions with that. But I'll be good. (Why? I dunno. One more week before Santa arrives? Nah, I'm Jewish. But I do offer him my cookie every year.). Wink.

      The book is 271 pages, not too small. And I don't mean anything inappropriate by that.

  8. Good grief, it looks like Tori was stung by a bee.
    Well, I suppose that's unkind.
    Make that an entire hive of bees.

    1. You're too kind. She looks like a pregnant hippo.
      Lol. Love ya, Al.

    2. Haha. Hungry, hungry and very fat and pregnant.
      She's got more chins than a Chinese phonebook, am I right? Geeze.

  9. I worry to be a friend with insane people...

    Happy December

    1. Hi, Tanza.
      I understand, yet my story would open your mind, I believe. I think we all have "insane" parts to ourselves. It's very worrisome, though, when people (like my brother did) have psychosis. Tragic, really.
      Thank you for visiting.
      Happy, safe, December.

  10. Your description of insanity sounds like something written by Kafka. From this review your book sounds enticing

    1. What flattery, Jeff. I can't even read Kafka--it's too much for my brain. Stephen King is too, and I'm humbled to have been compared to him too with this one. Thanks so much.

    1. I know, Mary. She keeps popping them out and whining about money. It's a terribly troubled couple too. I kinda feel for the kids.
