Every tale is masterfully told—these memorable memoirs… are both pleasure and treasure.” — Anna Furtado, JustAboutWrite

The Winter Laugh Book eBook Fay Jacobs
Delaware author Fay Jacobs presents a collection of ‘Fay’s Favorites’ gleaned from her career as a humor columnist and from her successful books series— As I Lay Frying, Fried & True, For Frying Out Loud, Time Fries, and Aging Gracelessly: 50 Shades of Fay.If ever there were a time for the release of this book that time is right now! Fay Jacobs is a treasure - a combination of Mark Twain, Lily Tomlin, Gertrude Stein, and Laurel and Hardy all wrapped up in one fine writer and humorist. Who knew all the ins and outs of the life in Rehoboth Beach? It is as pungent as diaries from Provincetown and West Hollywood and Fire Island with a solid dollop of laughter thrown in for good measure.
Jacobs take everyday occurrences that feed her columns and dishes them out like piquant soufflés at whose core dwells the humor that can be found in almost everything. Her take on politics (at times acerbic but with very good reason...), on interpersonal relationships, on life's embarrassing moments, and on simple observations of how people react to the world and to news of the day and to each other provides a much-needed grounding. How this talented observer can turn sow's ears into silk purses is wonderfully puzzling and at all times entertaining. But another aspect of her writing is the manner in which she embraces her own sexuality and hence the sexuality of this apparently skewed population of Rehoboth Beach and makes it so very normal and universal, never for a moment biting or moaning about injustices or prejudices, but instead replacing those tendencies with down home humor.
A little example – ‘Learning to Crawl’ – ‘I have now spent more money on one room in my house than on any other. And it’s not even a room. It’s the crawl space. Cue the scary music. How I came to own a home with something called a crawl space is beyond me. What am I, from the Addams Family? Just the thought of the space and what could crawl in it makes me nuts. And I’m sure nobody is surprised I’ve never actually crawled into the crawl space to take a look at what’s crawling around down there. But that scary space beneath my home has, over the years, seen more inspections than Iraq’s nuclear facilities…etc’
We need a lot of Fay Jacobs around, but sense she is a unique lady we must all grab her books and .... breathe! Grady Harp, January 17

Humorists are a rare and unique breed and Fay Jacobs is one of the best! And for only ninety nine cents, you can get yourself a cheap laugh or two.
I am still laughing. I really needed this book. I love it and am ordering all of her work. Thank you for the tummy ache from laughing so much.
Very funny and fun!!!!!
Good funny stories
Humor with a heart of gold flowing through the author's fingertips.
Oh, how the world needs more of Fay Jacobs, especially now!!!!
These stories are Fay's favorites, and among my favorites, too. I adore the woman, and I treasure her wonderful and happy little chapbook—it's the perfect way to chase off those inauguration blues . . . and oranges . . . and frightening shades of gold.
They say that humor is a sign of intelligence. In that case, Fay Jacobs is as brilliant as Einstein. This collection of Jacobs' humor columns and essays is sharp and sassy and damned smart. She's a master at storytelling and, importantly, a master with language. The writing flows, the humor jumps, and I laughed myself right out of my seat. So do yourself a favor, don't pass up The Winter Laugh Book. You'll make these winter nights warmer and you'll feel a whole lot better.
