Author Talks Inspiration, Characters and Humor in Joyfully Unhinged Novel
Hot Air by Marcy Dermansky
Marcy Dermansky is my favorite author this week! She makes me laugh, she makes me think, and I now am spending time wondering what preposterous thoughts are in other people&#;s minds (or even my own mind) that are not shared! In Hot Air, there is a first date, a bad kiss, a hot air balloon crash, a swinger swap, a swim in a pool (a Dermansky favorite), an unplanned trip to Disney and so much more! Just like in her previous novel Hurricane Girl, Marcy Dermansky has fun with her writing and I have fun reading it … I hope you will too!
