I first discovered a love for writing in my high school creative writing class, where I developed a talent for poetry, romance, and writing stories about everyday life. I write sexy erotic romances, paranormal romances, and romantic comedy, in addition to humorous stories about the joys and oys of family life.

I live in a quiet little town in WA State with the love of my life. I love painting, exploring, photography, computer games, and spending time with my beautiful family. With stunning beaches, stately mountains, an active volcano, and an abundance of nature, it is an ideal location for me to unleash my creative side.

The jOYs of Life, This Author's Life Book 1

"Do the words "What's for dinner?" make you cringe? Are you tired of one-word answers from the teenager in the house? These hilarious stories are a laugh-out-loud look at everyday life. From "A construction company…what were we thinking?" to "My Big, Fat Tongue," you won't be able to put this one down.

The jOYs of Life by comedy author Michelle Hoppe is a look into the ups and downs of raising a family, while attempting to become an author. Take a peek into the family life of the Hoppe clan and discover how Michelle turned OYs into jOYs…or at least delightfully funny stories.

Michelle was blessed with the ability to view life through rose tinted glasses. Unlike Claire Tomalin, who said "My life was a sort of series of random disasters," Michelle's life, with her twisted sense of humor and a madcap home crew, is more a series of random OYs and jOYs.

Growing up, Michelle loved to read books by Erma Bombeck; books like If Life is a Bowlful of Cherries, What Am I Doing in the Pits and Motherhood taught her to look for the humor in life. Michelle's favorite Erma quote "When humor goes, there goes civilization!" seemed like a call to action, so this comedy autobiography is her contribution to the continuation of mankind, oops…personkind!

This hilarious book contains humor about family life, motherhood, and parenting, and is sure to keep you laughing from beginning to end. Word Count: 31,000 | Heat Level: General Audience - 13+
