San Jose, CA March 12, 2004 -- Shana Moore retired her schoolmarm's bun to be home with her children and her keyboard. At the coaxing of family and friends, her spunky and irreverent annual Christmas letter segued into her hilarious and highly relatable Why IS it that…? column. Since then, Shana's essays have appeared in The San Jose Mercury News, The Almaden Times and on numerous Web sites.
Shana's new book, Caffeinated Ponderings on Life, Laughter & Lattes, is a collection of observational humor essays, linked together hilariously through the theme of coffee. The section on relationships, for example, is titled: "Marital Mishaps: I don't remember ordering a drip!" while the section on parenting is titled: "The Perils of Parenting: The add shot years." While every wife and mother can relate to those topics, there is more fun in other chapters, such as: "The Plight of an Aging Bean: Pick me before I'm compost!"
The book has already been given an Editor's Choice award and is receiving reviews such as the following one from Kymberli Brady, Author of Give Them Wings and Let Them Fly and The Sleepy Little Star:
"Shana is a modern day Erma Bombeck, with non-stop whimsical wit and hysterical humor wrapped into this delicious book. Everyone will relate to and relish her ponderings on life in today's society. A must read with your daily coffee --her words are the cream and sugar behind the best latte you've ever had."
Whether you have a slight addiction to caffeine, an irrational hatred of supermodels, or enough training in domestic peacekeeping to secure federal employment, Shana McLean Moore has the antidote to your pain. She knows you'll find it at the bottom of a hot cup of coffee, savored while taking a few minutes out of your selfless day to indulge in some of her Caffeinated Ponderings.
Shana's look at life, laughter & lattes is sure to leave you feeling tickled, validated and ready for a second cup...especially since the first one might just have escaped through your nose!
