Inkwater Press

Inkwater Press is excited to be publishing Stephanie Snowe’s debut work, tentatively titled It’s Not You, It’s Your Mom: The Romantic Misadventures of a Southern Belle.  Ms. Snowe describes the book as “a humorous look at the world of internet dating and all the perils and pitfalls that come along with looking for love after Prince Charming turns out to be a frog.”

Here’s a seasonal sneak preview of It’s Not You, It’s Your Mom: The Romantic Misadventures of a Southern Belle, just in time for Thanksgiving. The following excerpt appears just after the sudden departure of Ms. Snowe’s first husband.

“Oddly enough, I didn’t miss him. Not really. When he left me, it was hard at first. Good Lord was it hard. The announcement was made on Thanksgiving morning and I then had to sit through a family dinner and pretend that nothing was wrong while I was dying inside. Dying. If anyone ever deserved an Academy Award for their performance it wasn’t some two-bit actress with a cocaine problem and an undeserved sense of self-importance. It was me. And the worst part? I didn’t even get any pecan pie that day. Not even one piece. And I freaking love pecan pie.”

From all of us here at Inkwater Press, we wish you a very happy Thanksgiving, and a slice of your preferred pie.

The United States of Toyota, by Peter M. Delorenzo

Inkwater Press has sold the Vietnamese language publishing rights for its book The United States Of Toyota by Peter M. Delorenzo to Long Minh Educational and Cultural Joint-Stock Company.

On the back of his book, Peter Lorenzo writes, “The core issues facing Detroit–-global competitiveness, U.S. trade imbalances, healthcare costs and pension funding–-are issues we as a nation must deal with-–right now. This is not some isolated bad tiding that will only affect the Rust Belt in the forlorn “flyover” states, as the mid-section of the country is often derisively referred to.  No, this situation spells trauma for the entire country. Between 1 in 12 and 1 in 14 jobs in this country are still either directly or indirectly related to the domestic automobile business. Think about that statistic for a moment and then insist that it somehow “won’t affect me.”
