Against Chick Lit

Are you tired of reading about the lives of skinny skanks skunking around the streets of Manhattan, trash talking about boys and shoes and their crappy entry level jobs even though they live in inexplicably fabulous penthouse lofts? Does Sex and the City and all its literary knockoffs, the covers featuring tilted martini glasses and doe-eyed cartoon waifs tripping cutely into "his" arms send you deep into REM sleep and a pervasive melancholy you cannot name?

I know who you are and I am you!

I can't read those freakin' books any more either.

You are the reason I created Ginger Kanadoo, a 59ish, forty pounds overweight old timey real estate agent with no listings for a year except an outhouse with water views of a weed-choked lake. You think you're miserable? Google "desperate": see Ginger's face. This woman will do anything to make a sale. Want to feel good about your life for a few mintues? Read about Ginger's life as she struggles to not only understand the internet but also the needs of her bisexual Wiccan daughter, Harvest, who insists on naked rites in the forest and lots of black, artfully ripped clothing.

Inspired by I Love Lucy and The Confederacy of Dunces, Cracks in the Foundation is the antidote to chick lit everywhere. Ginger is not only a drunk in the best sense of the word, she's someone who tries to run over the competition: cleavage-wielding rival Tandy Brickenhausen (a skinny-bitch realtor) with a tractor.

Will the outhouse find a buyer? Will Harvest's potions conjure a sale, or wake the dead? Will somebody let the air out of Tandy's bra?

More importantly, want to feel thin? Read this book! You'll instantly lose ten pounds laughing your ass off. Please visit www.CracksintheFoundation.com to learn more.

If you have ever tried to buy or sell a house, you should read this book. It's hysterical. And if you have a house on the market now, (my sympathies) READ THIS book to get a break from the anxiety. And if you became a broker, thinking how much you love houses and how good you would be at selling them, now's about the time you should read this book. Very funny.
