About the Book

Ever done something so ridiculous you wish you had a hole to hide in? Well - in Paula's life, that's called "Wednesday." Join the author on her "small-town girl from a big family" shenanigans and read what real embarrassment looks like. Her hilarious and heart-warming stories offer a first- ever peek at the life of a kid in the 1950's when her siblings became overnight Hollywood celebrities. Here is a potluck of funny stories that will make your "most embarrassing" look tame and sensible! On Catalina Island, the Author gives you a rare glimpse of a wild child's life in a one-of-a-kind environment. Her antics with animals, from pythons to puppies, to pigs, are punctuated with tender tales sure to put a tear in your eye and some warmth in your soul. When you grow up with six siblings in a tiny beach cottage, "You have to do something to survive." Telling funny stories about her idiotic antics and the tender events that filled her life, kept her friends in stitches and kept the author sane. When she won an essay contest in the 8th. grade, she saw writing as the outlet she was looking for. At the urging of friends and family, this prolific writer of technical projects, has written the first collection of her personal stories.

About the Author :
When I was one of those kids who couldn't sit still, we didn't have the term attention deficit disorder. Kids like me, to quote my first-grade teacher, had ants in their pants. That was me, The Kid Who Fidgets, Goofy Girl, Queen of the Antsy. Now, I probably didn't require medication, even if it were available, but my inability to stay focused in class and the fact that I enjoyed being the class clown, didn't help my grades any. Laughter is a release valve for me. When you grow up with six siblings in a five-room beach cottage, you have to do something to survive. So I used humor to escape the chaos (or at least hold it at bay). I told funny stories about my idiotic antics and/or the funny things I witnessed others do. Most of my stories were about the embarrassing things I did, almost daily. My gift for making a fool of myself and my self-deprecating humor was dinner theater for my family and, in a sense, encouraged my hilarious hijinks. The stories kept my friends in stitches and telling my stories kept me sane. Then, when two of my sisters got discovered on a TV talent show and quickly became radio, TV and movie stars, my life took a delightful detour (same chaos, but better vittles!). Later, I got married. And, as people do, we had kids. But, because I was not quite prepared for the experience, ... MORE stories! As I got older, I began putting my stories down on paper. This book is the culmination of my sometimes silly, sometimes poignant, and very often downright ridiculous, adventures. And what's amazing to many folks, is that all these stories are true.

Review :
Humor, heart and a humble spirit...POTLUCK will bring back your childhood memories, remind you of your own siblings...with tears of laughter running down your cheeks. - Lana Harriger Nicol, daughter, wife, mother, grandma, wannabe artist and a "real" Orange County Housefrau. The book is great, funny, entertaining, touching, spiritual and meaningful. You have lived quite a life and people need to know about it. Thank you. - Vicki Preslesnik, Education Consultant and Orange Unified School District teacher for over forty years. This is amazing! So heartwarming, hilarious and real. I feel privileged to have read it. Thank you for this treasure. - Katie Janics-Geeza partner at Berding & Weil, LLP Attorneys at Law and a mother of two boys.
