The Colleen Collected Collection



I've gotta be honest: I didn't know who the hell Colleen Hoover was until I read a profile in The New York Times last year. She somehow how fourteen books in the top ten of the bestseller list. How's that even possible?!? 

I went to my library app to check one of the books out and they were all on a months-long waitlist, so I went to Amazon and read a first chapter of one. Because my brain works the way my brain works, I started writing the entire thing in my head, just in a funny jokey way. 

As a lark, I did one and then moved on to the next and the next and the next (and there are a lot more nexts than that), but I eventually did them all. I'll share them here over the next few weeks and talk about a similar project I'm knee-deep in with another successful author. Here's a hint...

Welcome to the Mellon Patch


Hey strangers.

I've spent the last 18 months working on new writing projects, and finally decided I needed a site to support my efforts at getting some of the nonsense I've banged out published. 

I never officially shut down Jack Sh*t, Gettin' Fit and actually tried to jump-start it a couple of times without much success. The funny thing is that the site still gets a fair amount of traffic, and reskinning it appealed to my laziness and commitment to recycling. 

I'll be sharing samples of my work and hope you find it half as entertaining as I do.
