Fishtails is NOT a Self-Help Book
When I tell people that my book is about being single at middle-age, very often their response is something like – "That's great that you want to help people with that."
First of all, why do people need help with that? It's as if there is an assumption that if you are over a certain age and single, you are in dire need of help, and not very fun or funny.
If someone finds my stories entertaining, then maybe it will help them get over something in their life. That's all the "help" I can provide.
I am not an expert on any given subject. Please note the lack of a PhD after my name. I do have a degree in sociology, which I jokingly refer to in Fishtails, but that's where my knowledge of human behavior (and what people should do in a given situation) ends.
Writing is my own form of therapy, and those who have read Fishtails will agree that I am clueless about a lot of things.
Hope this helps!
