Birdie's Avon Lady Memoir - now in print

Mon, 26 Nov 2007 12:22:22 GMT

Ramses waits impatiently for his copy to arrive!

My memoir, Don't Shoot! I'm Just the Avon Lady! is now available to order! Thank you to my publisher, Menendez Publishing!

From inside the front book jacket:

For Birdie Jaworksi, life as an Avon Lady was a bittersweet mix of embarking on gossip-worthy adventures, searching for Mr. Right, and making emergency lotion requests in the middle of the night... while managing as a single parent. This collection of short stories - including "Mullet Madness," "Fat Ass Evidence," and "Wherein I Test a Product on an Animal" - captures Jaworski's complicated relationship with the cosmetics giant (and her customers) and reveals a surprising and touching account of her personal life.

You can take a look at the book and order your copy here.

If you would like a signed copy, please order your book, and when it arrives, you can send it to me with return postage enclosed, and I will write a beautiful, personal inscription to you inside the front cover and enclose a hand-made bookmark... AND an Avon sample! Ya can't beat that! Just drop me an email and I will tell you my home address.

The Marshmallow Paradox

Photo courtesy of Eric Swanson, photographer of amazing ability and two-marshmallowed phenomenon

A Santa Fe photographer knelt against the concrete curb, a long-lensed Nikon pressed against his face. I could see his dirty-blonde eyebrows, a hint of calculated smile. His left cheek radiated concentration, the stark and bitter flavor of work. His assistant lifted a memory-wire rimmed white circle. She let the sun fret behind it, let the flat umbrella cast opaque light on her subject. I stood, my cowboy boots on decorative gravel, an Avon bag in my left hand.

"Hey, what's the strangest person you ever photographed?"

I let my voice rise over the wind. My hair whipped against my back. A gold clip encrusted with fake jewels couldn't hold it, couldn't hold the mountain cascade of harsh air, the tide of time.
