Things Are Really Crazy Right Now

by Inda Schaenen

Two suburban housewives deep into childrearing and carpools delve into the slick world of biotech food production and nefarious marketing practices. Told with what one reviewer called "an intensely urbane wit," the story unfolds with "commentaries on millennial life practices that are a riot, fully half the fun. The plot itself is a light, funny, surprisigly serious, and totally unique. There may not be another novel today that successfully turns the health food industry into such a battefield of corporate espionage."

About the author

Inda Schaenen is a writer, a journalist, and a teacher. Born in Dallas, she grew up in New York City. Her first book, THE 7 O’CLOCK BEDTIME, landed her on the Today Show and her first adult novel, THINGS ARE REALLY CRAZY RIGHT NOW, was published in 2005. When she was a kid she loved seeing mummies in museums and thought hieroglyphics were cool; ALL THE CATS OF CAIRO, her first book for young adults, grew out of that interest. She lives in St. Louis with her husband and three kids, and for fun, she likes to hang out with her family and read — and write.
