More About the Author

I love to write and so I do. I write about goats for a goat paper... horses for a horse magazine... and, for fifteen years, I wrote "Homespun Humor" about life in general for a local newspaper. My three books are collections of columns I wrote in either "Homespun Humor" or "The Kidding Pen" (the goat paper). My goal in life is to enjoy living and help others enjoy it, too. Laughter truly is the best medicine. For more about my farm and my life, please visit http://lindafink.blogspot.com

5.0 out of 5 stars Half lies or half truths?, November 22, 2003

I half agree with my brother. The parts that portray me as a loving, intelligent, handsome, and in all other ways perfect young man are true. The other 95% are entirely made up, and should be regarded as the ravings of a lunatic. Unless mom is reading this and Christmas or my birthday are coming up, in which case it's all true, witty, erudite, and otherwise the most wonderful thing anyone has ever written...

Please do not believe a word this crazy woman says in this book. She made it all up. Sure, it's funny, but it bears no relation whatsoever to the truth. Nope, not a bit. I have no clue where she got all those crazy ideas. It was nothing like that, I promise you -- I'm her son, so I ought to know. So only buy it for the humor value of a completely fictionalized account of raising two extremely obnoxious children (the exact opposite of the real me and my brother, I assure you).

5.0 out of 5 stars Linda Fink has written a very funny book., January 22, 1998

This review is from: How to Live with Teenagers. I give up. How? (Paperback)

Linda Fink has managed to take the terror of raising teenagers & show us the funny side. I would swear that conversations she tells about with her sons took place at our home also... For instance, "Kev, did you hear me?" "No, I'm reading" "What are you reading?" "The ketchup bottle"

She takes us through the joys (?) of the family outing for the Christmas tree, teaching the boys to drive ("This bridge is too narrow." "Close your eyes" advises Dad ), boys adventures with rocketry, on through going away to college.

This is a very funny book that is perfect for those of us who have survived teenagers, those who are hoping to survive teenagers & those who know their kids will never be like that.

I suggest you get several of these books & share them with your friends.
