5 Jalapeños for Larry Ratliff's Spice of Life!Larry Ratliff takes the reader on a roller coaster ride, filled with human comedy & tragedy, excitement and delightful surprises. Each chapter is a Norman Rockwell painting, leaving a lasting visual life lesson. Anyone can review a movie, but there is a rare breed that can go beyond the script, actors and production, finding the soul of the film and describing it perfectly to the eager fan. Larry Ratliff is one of these special people. He loves what he was born to do and it shows! I would highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys movies, great actors and, most of all, a life lived with great sense of humor! Review by Sonny Melendrez |
Authors make all kinds of absurd claims about their books. Frankly, that makes me sad.
Take my new book (Please!) Did I Write That Out Loud?, for instance.
I could claim that my new book bursting with entertaining essays about the raucous, roller coaster life of a veteran humorist, public speaker, film critic and stand-up comedian (that would be me) will lift your spirits.
It will, but I won't claim that.
Or, I could promise that you'll go behind the scenes and be amazed at what happened the day I sat down to interview Shirley MacLaine and she wasn't pleased with the lighting.
You will be amazed, but I'm not about to claim that, either.
All I'm going to promise is that if you buy Did I Write That Out Loud? you'll lose a few pounds.*
My new -- and first, I might add -- book covers topics such as why my family doctor broke up with me, what happens when pants begin to have minds of their own and news that the Cold War, a different Cold War, still rages.
I try to write from my heart and my funny bone, so even subjects such as a late-night encounter with paramedics, job loss and my father's late-life crisis are skewed with truth softened with humor.
Or as I like to put it, "We might as well laugh. It's only life."
About this time you're probably saying to yourself, "This is incredible! Where can I get my hands on a book like this?"
Not to worry. Just click this link to go to the Did I Write That Out Loud? page at the Amazon.com website. You can be the proud owner of this hot, hot, hot collection of hilarious and heartfelt essays in paperback for the ridiculous price of only $8.95.
