Welcome to my blog.I’m Andrea Askowitz and I wrote a book that’s coming out in May, 2008 with Cleis Press. It’s called My Miserable, Lonely, Lesbian Pregnancy. You gotta read it. My mom says it’s a little self-indulgent. But, she followed that up with, “Of course it is, I mean, it’s a memoir.” So I think that’s a ringing endorsement. But don’t take my mom’s word for it.Take Rachel Pepper’s. She’s sassy and smart and wrote Ultimate Guide to Pregnancy for Lesbians. About 10 years ago, before I even started trying to get pregnant, I picked up her book and it helped me throughout my pregnancy. She said: “[My Miserable] is an occasionally despondent but usually hilarious tale… This is one book that should be mandatory reading.” 

Also, Louise Sloan, another smart and sassy woman, who wrote Knock Yourself Up, said something nice: “This is one whiny, bitchy pregnant lesbian–and you have to love her. Askowitz is funny and fearless in describing her journey to motherhood, complete with happy ending (the massage kind as well as the baby kind).” 

But if you don’t believe those women, you can buy for yourself and tell me what you think. Please do. And buy it for all the mothers in your life because it will be out just before Mother’s Day. But it’s not just for mothers, I promise. Men will like it too. They especially like the description of the baby coming through the birth canal. I’ve read this in front of mixed crowds and the men scream the loudest. Don’t know why really, but they do. For some reason you can get it at a reduced rate on Amazon.com or at Booksandbooks.com. I don’t understand why it’s on sale, even before it’s for sale, but it is. So, order it today and then one day in May you’ll get this box in the mail and you’ll be like, “Oh, a present for me! What is it?” And you’ll be so happy when you see My Miserable, Lonely, Lesbian Pregnancy.   

Thank you for reading my blog!
