Product Description
This short story originated from an assignment in the writers' group that I started a year ago. We decided to implement three elements from the conversations of a meeting and use them in writing a short story?spilled orange juice, a ketchup bottle exploding and the word ‘phenomenal'. I know that sometimes men drive women nuts, and that frustrating changes often result from the ever popular mid-life crisis. Meet Myrtle Murphy - a woman who has decided to have a “Norman crisis.” And Myrtle has reached the boiling point. So sit back with a cup of tea and enjoy the read…

Cheryl Kaye Tardif is the author of the bestselling, controversial, assisted suicide novel Whale Song. Booklist called Whale Song “moving…perennially crowd-pleasing…sweet and sad”. Booklist raved about “Tardif, already a big hit in Canada…a name to reckon with south of the border”. Tardif is the author of the action-packed conspiracy thriller The River—a “mile-a-minute pot-boiler myster[y]”, says the Edmonton Sun. The River is both thought provoking and terrifying. It is based loosely on legends about the Nahanni River area of Canada's Northwest Territories, legends of headless corpses washing up on its shores. This area has often been called the ‘Bermuda Triangle of Canada'. Tardif's “sizzling psychic suspense” novel Divine Intervention is a thriller about a group of psychic government agents and their search for a deadly serial arsonist who is leaving behind a trail of burnt corpses. This novel has been compared to shows like ‘Medium', or works by Kay Hooper and J.D. Robb. Cheryl Kaye Tardif has also had numerous short stories, articles and poetry published over the years, although her main passion is fiction with a twist of mystery, suspense or horror. All of her novels to date?Whale Song, in particular?have received inquiries from the film industry, including Hollywood interest. In 2006, Tardif participated in a hilarious new reality TV series ‘A Total Write-Off', hosted by comedian Barbara North, which aired in early 2007. In 2004, Tardif was nominated for the Lieutenant Governor of Alberta Arts Award. In 2003, she wrote a public service announcement for a racial harmony campaign. Her PSA script, One Voice ~ One World placed third and was produced and aired on cable channels in Alberta. According to photojournalist, Heather Andrews Miller, who interviewed the author for a Real Estate Weekly article, Cheryl Kaye Tardif is a “gem in the literary world”.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   3 of 3 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars Humor and Horror, July 3, 2007 By  Chrissy K. McVay "Writer" (North Carolina) - See all my reviews    A little humor mixed in with the horror. I don't think I'll let my teenage son read the part with the ketchup bottle, he'll be too tempted to pull that stunt the first chance he gets. A fun read. Chrissy K.
