You Taste Like Whiskey and Sunshine
by Kimberly Love
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Non-Fiction/Memoir
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
There's
an evil queen, a demented father, some amateur boxing and a trailer park story.
Even a silver fox makes an appearance. Why wouldn't that entice you?
If
you are looking for something different from the rest of the books out there,
something that might make you question your sanity then you will love this
book.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCERPT ONE:
Mom?
Are you reading this? Maybe you should have a drink first. Can we get a rum and
coke over here? She’s gonna need it...
A
lot of people have asked me throughout this process, why I would want to write
this book. There are a few reasons why I decided to completely expose myself
for the world to see, but certainly one particular moment comes to mind. During
a heated argument with my ex-husband, post-divorce, he blurted out that he
thought I was incapable of loving another human being. It’s one of those things
you hear that is so shocking to you that the argument just ceases. I was
speechless, I didn’t know what to say. Normally I would have chalked it up to
the fact that he was in fact a disgruntled ex because it wouldn’t be the first
time we got down and dirty in an argument, but this time I didn’t. I never
forgot that comment, mainly because I wondered for years if it was true. There
was just something about the way he said it that made me wonder if I was really
that irrevocably screwed up. So, I decided to delve into my past, for my sake
as well as my daughters, to find out why I walked out on a relationship that
everyone thought was perfect.

BOOK DESCRIPTION:
What Makes This Book Awesome?
There's
an evil queen, a demented father, some amateur boxing and a trailer park story.
Even a silver fox makes an appearance. Why wouldn't that entice you?
If
you are looking for something different from the rest of the books out there,
something that might make you question your sanity then you will love this
book.
Seriously!
The comedic and sassy perspective will make you see things differently, and you
may even find yourself laughing out loud. It's a good story and one that I
truly believe needs to be told. Period.
It’s
dark, raw and takes you to a door that keeps all my innermost secrets. I hope
that the book makes you laugh, makes you cry, and inspires you to be the best
version of yourself.

GUEST POST:
Who Inspired Your Love for Books?
My
mother inspired my love for books, she was always reading and that’s something
we saw when we were growing up. I started reading adult books while I was still
in middle school because I started reading from a young age, and my taste in
books went beyond what was available for middle-grade books, especially some 20
years ago.
She
definitely gave me a love of reading because she loved it so much and
encouraged us to read. I had a very troubling childhood due to abuse from
another family member, so I often looked for a place to hide. Books were a
means of escape for me and I’ve often heard other people say the same thing. As
a child, you can often feel trapped in your world and books can offer you a
different world to step into where you can be awesome and not have to worry
about what is going on back home. I was able to heal my own heart through books
and I’m so happy that I was one of those people that were raised on books.
From
there I moved into creating my own stories and I was able to create things that
I hope other people will use to make their lives happier as well. It’s an easy
transition from a reader to a writer. It was for me anyway. Now, I’ve passed on
my love of reading to my own daughter and I smile when I see her curled up in
bed with her own favorite books.
