New Release:
Sass Mouth: Destiny Is a Joke, a new memoir by Jacki Kane is now available for purchase. In Other Words Books will be hosting a release party for Sass Mouth tonight (4-8) at 7:30pm.
Description:
Meet Jacki Eberstarker, a girl who grows up in Baltimore defying her police officer mother while clenching a Bionic Woman doll. Raised to be as powerless as a household object, she flounders through life falling into every trap along the way – disastrous relationships, alcohol abuse, and a debilitating fear of clowns. As she finds success in stand-up comedy, devastating truths emerge that nearly destroy her. Sass Mouth is a story about taking responsibility, blasting through a faulty foundation, and proving that, ultimately, happiness is the best revenge.
About The Author:
Jacki Kane wants to be the modern-day Erma Bombeck. She performs clean, intelligent stand-up comedy regularly with the show she founded called TIME OUT: The mother of all comedy shows. Most recently, she’s working on taking her humor on the road as a professional speaker for women’s expos, corporate events and anyone who will pay her to bring down a room.
