About the Book

Ever wonder what happens when an average wife and mother goes berserk … and writes it all down? You’re about to find out.

Patricia Lorenz writes in the Foreword: “I love this book. This funny, funny book. (Note the incomplete sentence, Linda?) Every story is funny. The way Linda Au looks at life should be bottled and sold as a panacea for eternal youth. I bet she never gets ulcers because of her funny, irreverent outlook on every single event in her life, big or small. She makes things like her husband’s tool chest and his TV-watching habits funny as all get-out. You need a tissue when you read this book to mop up the laughing tears. She makes teaching her mom how to use a computer, the art of folding sheets, a letter to Santa, renewing her wedding vows in Vegas, a head cold, a water bed, a wedding ring, soap operas, roller-skating, people-watching, bathrobes, fishing trips, and even lunch at the nuclear power plant the funniest things since whoopee cushions were placed on all the nursing home chairs. You’re going to love this book and no doubt you’ll be as jealous of Linda Au as I am.”

About the Author
Linda M. Au

Linda M. Au shares her home in western Pennsylvania with three guinea pigs and her eternally patient engineer husband, Wayne Parker. She and Wayne share six grown children between them.

Linda's been a proofreader and typesetter for more than thirty years. With humor collections HEAD IN THE SAND and FORK IN THE ROAD, she climbed over the proverbial publishing desk to save for posterity the ridiculous (yet mundane) stuff that happens around her.

Another humor book, TRAIN OF THOUGHT: TRAVEL ESSAYS FROM A ONE-TRACK MIND, sprang from her bucket-list cross-country train trip in the spring of 2017.

Her real love, though, is writing fiction. THE SCARLET LETTER OPENER, a cozy mystery, was her first published novel, with many more novels in different fictional worlds to follow. Her slightly more serious women's fiction, GRAY AREA, is also available in paperback and Kindle formats. The next two books in this cozy series, The Red Ink Mysteries, will be available in summer 2019 (THE TELL-TALE HEART ATTACK) and autumn 2019 (CHARLOTTE'S WEBSITE).

SECRET AGENT MANNY, a humorous "spy" novel that started with a dare, is also now available.

When she's not writing, Linda is a writing coach for Write At Home, author liaison for the Beaver County BookFest in Pennsylvania, and a board member for the St. Davids Christian Writers' Association.
