My memoir, Don't Shoot! I'm Just the Avon Lady! is now available to order! Thank you to my publisher, Menendez Publishing! A few of the many funny and touching stories in my memoir appeared here at Gather.
From inside the front book jacket:
For Birdie Jaworski, life as an Avon Lady was a bittersweet mix of embarking on gossip-worthy adventures, searching for Mr. Right, and making emergency lotion requests in the middle of the night... while managing as a single parent. This collection of short stories—including “Mullet Madness,” “Fat Ass Evidence,” and “Wherein I Test a Product on an Animal”—captures Jaworski’s complicated relationship with the cosmetics giant (and her customers) and reveals a surprising and touching account of her personal life.
You can take a look at the book and order your copy here.
If you would like a signed copy, please order your book, and when it arrives, you can send it to me with return postage enclosed, and I will write a beautiful, personal inscription to you inside the front cover and enclose a hand-made bookmark... AND an Avon sample! Ya can't beat that! Just drop me an email and I will tell you my home address.
Birdie Jaworski lives in Las Vegas, New Mexico. Her website is at http://www.birdiejaworski.com

Having already experienced your writing, I know this book will be a success. Congrats.
My Avon Lady is a developmentally disabled woman. She sells to the staff at her day program and her many friends and makes lots of extra spending money every month. It's been a real blessing in her life to hook up with Avon.
Congrats Birdie!!!
Don't know any Avon ladies, but I can think of a few who'd enjoy your writing!!!
I'm excited!! Thank you all so much for your well-wishes. I know this is a small thing in this grand scheme of life, but I'm happy that I wrote an entire book and a little publisher was willing to take me under their wing.
