susan mccorkindaleOutstanding interview on Joy Radio yesterday with Susan McCorkindale. Susan has held top spots at Family Circle and Popular Science magazines, and today writes advertising copy on a freelance basis from the comfort of her farmhouse in Virginia. She’s the author of two outlandishly funny memoirs, “Confessions of a Counterfeit Farm Girl” and “500 Acres and No Place to Hide: More Confessions of a Counterfeit Farm Girl.”

Yesterday Susan read a portion of Chapter Thirty-One –”I’d Like to Have a Word with John Wayne” for our listeners; explained why she traded the city girl for the farm girl; gave insight on what farm life has taught her; stated some of her present challenges; shed light on what inspired her to write the book; and shared with the listeners two of her hilarious encounters from her latest memoir, “500 Acres and No Place to Hide.”

Here’s my review on Susan’s newest release. “LOL, pee in your pants, wish I was wearing Depends, read.” What are you waiting for? Order her books today and let the fun begin.

One day, while I was busy cleaning the house, thinking all was well and safe with my babies, I heard the door bell ring. Opening the front door, I found a large, burly construction worker holding my little boy’s hand. Our neighbor down the street was in the middle of massive remodel and everyday Timmy would stare out the window and the watch the trucks go by.

“Lady, I think he belongs to you,” the gentleman said. “I can tell you have a bunch of kids by the balls scattered all over the lawn.” Continue reading »
