Tara’s comments from the Ask Tara Sivec group.

Actually, that is pretty much exactly how my dad really is! He was talking to my sister-in-law the other day amd was like "Is it true I'm in the book?". My SIL was like, "Um, don't you remember when I was reading it when we all went on that casino bus trip? I kept looking across the aisle at you laughing my ass off because it is you to a T."
Needless to say, my dad bought a bunch of copies, but he's still afraid to read it LOL!

LMAO!!! Kid after my own heart!!!

Oh I absolutely felt that way. I really think the only reason I ever decided to have kids was because I felt like it was the next step after getting married and I was supposed to. I adore my kids and love every minute I spend with them (mostly) but I can't STAND other people's children. I want to tell them to sit down and shut the fuck up when their parents won't and I want to tell them to suck it up and quit being pussies when they whine to their parents about something. Obviously the fact that I'm a soccer coach for my son and a cheerleading coach for my daughter wasn't the wisest decision. I can neither confirm nor deny that my water bottle is filled with vodka during practices.
But seriously, everyone told me "It's different when you have your own kids". And that's one thing they were right about.

He will be 6 in December and my daughter will be 9 in January. His humor is typical little boy, say whatever you can to get a reaction. My daughter's humor is more of a sneak attack. She'll say something completely out of the blue and we'll just look at each other like "Holy shit, where does she come up with this!".

Angie wrote: "Ok another question.... Does your bestie REALLY sell sex toys and is most of the shenanigans between you and her also based on real life?"

My bestie does not sell sex toys but my niece used to! And yeah, Liz and Claire are definitely me and my bestie with a little bit of my husband's cousin thrown in for good measure. But yeah, it's exactly how we talk to one another and act around one another. It's total and complete anarchy.

Angie wrote: "OMG!!!!! anyone who has boys knows Gavin is just a normal lil boy.. I mean what lil boy hasn't done half of that shit..... I just love that you wrote it all down... OH and him taking the PURPLE SWO..."

Yep, totally happened! Thank God it was only in front of me and my husband. But yeah, he was running through the house with it over his head. At least the tug of war never happened. I told him there was a chicken behind him and he let go. Kids are dumb.

Angie wrote: "Do you have a real life Jenny ? I love her and that's who I'm most like..... I'm always trying to sound BIG and effing up the words......"

I do and she's going to kill me if she ever reads my book! It's my co-worker. Her name is Rhonda and there is a list in the office people constantly add to called "Rhondaisms". Today she asked me if you could get to the ocean over by Cedar Point. Now, if you aren't from the Ohio area, Cedar Point is a huge amusement park. On Lake Erie. Lake. Erie. She also asked me if Iceland was a different country from us and if it was far away.
Seriously, I can't make this shit up.

This was the inspiration for the "ass face" chapter. Yep, that's diaper rash cream.

Oh Gavin is 100% my son. Every single thing Gavin said or did in the book, my son has said or done. Which then of course gets my feathers in a ruffle when I get a negative review about how horrible Gavin's behavior was and how Claire's parenting sucks. But no worries, I get back at those people in a special chapter in the sequel :)
But yeah, I live with a Gavin daily. I've said it a million times, he's lucky he's so cute. It's the only reason I can forgive him for being an asshole.

St. End has spoken and it shall be done. Actually, after this I'm taking a break from comedy and doing a romantic suspense series. But, I have been tossing around the idea of a Drew & Jenny spin-off. So that just might happen.

135 times.

Ha! Actually I have no idea. I've gotten a few negative reviews where people have said something..."

Who doesn't like the word vagina? Boring people, that's who. I would talk just using the word fuck if I could. And technically, you can. It's a noun, it's a verb, it's an adjective...it's an all around winner.

Let's be honest here. This isn't the most disturbing thing you've ever thought of.

The wind IN my vagina. Or the bologna in my bun.

Don't be a hater. Dead people need vagina too.

Dude my brain so went in another direction. I pictured myself unzipping my vag and then rezipping it on someone else. Obviously you meant it in the sense of "I'm going to put my nuts on you". I would rub my vagina all over Ian Sommerhalder. I believe he needs my vagina to live.

I know, right? I would be vaginaless.
