52 REASONS TO HATE MY FATHER Cover Reveal!

Hoorah! Today I revealed the cover for my next book, 52 REASONS TO HATE MY FATHER, which will be released on July 3, 2012. And here it is!

 

As you can probably tell from the cover and the title, the book is another comedy. And I think this cover represents the humor and tone of the story perfectly!

52 REASONS TO HATE MY FATHER is about a spoiled teen heiress, famous for her party-girl antics and tabloid headlines, who is forced by her ever-absent mogul father to take on a different low-wage job every week for a year, if she wants any hope of receiving her trust fund.

The book was recently optioned for film by producer Jane Startz (Ella Enchanted, The Babysitter's Club, Tuck Everlasting). We've got our fingers crossed that it will be made into a movie soon!

What's the Worst Job You've Ever Had?

Hey all! I need your help with my next book! 52 Reasons to Hate My Father (scheduled for release in 2012) is about a spoiled teen heiress who has to take on 52 low-wage jobs in order to receive her inheritance. I'm in the process of writing it now and I need some inspiration!

I'm currently collecting a list of horrible jobs. So leave a comment on the post and let me know what's the worst job you've ever had.

All comments will go into a drawing for a free copy of The Karma Club, AND your worst job ever could end up in my next book!

Looking forward to reading about everyone's occupational miseries. LOL!
