Book Description
Spring is here and Annabelle plants her first garden. In the beginning, this seemed easy. Annabelle and her mom prepared the soil and planted bright pink zinnia, golden marigold, tomato and zucchini seeds (Annabelle’s favorite vegetables). But she quickly gets bored and forgets to water and care for her garden. One day at recess, Annabelle brags about how green and lush her garden is. She invites her best friend, Olivia, over to show off, only to find out that it no longer exists! Olivia’s kindness shines through, and Annabelle learns a lesson in friendship. “...Through Annabelle’s lesson, readers will learn patience and gratitude. The rhyming sequences makes this a fun read, and the vivid animations ... are fantastical and still realistic ... If Annabelle is to have more adventures, readers will assuredly line up for these sunny stories.” (The Adventures of Annabelle, Annabelle and the Last Day of School) -Kirkus Reviews 2016 “...Well-drawn illustrations and an appealing heroine enliven the moral.” (The Adventures of Annabelle, Annabelle and the Messy Room) -Kirkus Reviews 2017

Book Description
Finalist for the Thurber Prize for American Humor "In this surprisingly upbeat memoir, Annabelle Gurwitch writes about the financial curveballs that can hit you in midlife . . . Somehow, Ms. Gurwitch manages to find humor in these setbacks. Ultimately, this is a story about harnessing resilience and learning how life’s disappointments can teach you about the things that matter most." —Tara Parker-Pope, The New York Times From the New York Times bestselling author of I See You Made an Effort comes a timely and hilarious chronicle of downward mobility, financial and emotional. With signature "sharp wit" (NPR), Annabelle Gurwitch gives irreverent and empathetic voice to a generation hurtling into their next chapter with no safety net and proves that our no-frills new normal doesn't mean a deficit of humor. In these essays, Gurwitch embraces homesharing, welcoming a housing-insecure young couple and a bunny rabbit into her home. The mother of a college student in recovery who sheds the gender binary, she relearns to parent, one pronoun at a time. She wades into the dating pool in a Miss Havisham-inspired line of lingerie and flunks the magic of tidying up. You're Leaving When? is for anybody who thought they had a semblance of security but wound up with a fragile economy and a blankie. Gurwitch offers stories of resilience, adaptability, low-rent redemption, and the kindness of strangers. Even in a muted Zoom.

Book Description
“Annabelle Gurwitch is the child prodigy of the literature on aging. The only downside of this book is that it is bound to deepen your laugh lines.”—Barbara Ehrenreich, author of Nickel and Dimed Actor and humorist Annabelle Gurwitch returns with a wickedly funny book of essays about the indignities faced by femmes d’un certain âge. Whether she is falling in lust at the Genius Bar, coping with her best friend’s assisted suicide, or navigating the extensive—and treacherously expensive—anti-aging offerings at the beauty counter, Gurwitch confronts middle age with candor, wit, and a healthy dose of self-deprecation. Scorchingly honest, surreally and riotously funny, I See You Made an Effort is the ultimate coming-of-middle-age story and according to Bill Maher, "it should be required reading for anyone between the ages of 40 and death. Scratch that—even after death, it's a must read."

Book Description
Annabelle, like all of her fairy friends, desperately wants to be a rose fairy when she grows up. But when things go horribly wrong at the Great Selecting ceremony, the fairy queen tells Annabelle she will have to spend the rest of her life as a fart fairy! As Annabelle's childhood friends distance themselves from her, Annabelle's family -- especially her goofy brother, Fevrile -- tell her everything will be alright. But, she knows better than to believe them. This is the story of how Annabelle tries to run away from her life as a fart fairy, breaking rules and friendships along the way. But, when catastrophe strikes, she is forced to embrace her identity as a Forgotten Fairy, leading her to a destiny more important than anything else in history. Annabelle, the Reluctant Fart Fairy is book one in the Forgotten Fairies series, designed for readers ages 5 to 105. The Forgotten Fairies Series, by M.T. LottHave you ever wondered if there were more than just flower and butterfly fairies?Are you getting bored with the same-old fairy stories?Are you wondering what real fairies actually do all day? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then the Forgotten Fairies series is for you. Learn More at: www.ForgottenFairies.com INTERVIEW WITH M.T. LOTTHow did you create the character of Annabelle the Fart Fairy? I'm a dad, and my two kids -- one boy, one girl -- love silly and slightly gross stories. Think Captain Underpants type books. My daughter loved fairy books and movies when she was little. She would constantly ask me to tell her fairy stories before bed. When I ran out of cute fairy stories, I created the Annabelle character. I probably told her fifty stories before I thought, "Hey, this might make a good character for a book." Did your daughter help you write the book? She was my beta reader, for sure. I also got a few ideas from her. Once I was stuck in part of the book and I asked her what she thought should happen. She had a great idea, and I put it in the book. When did you start writing books? I've written since I was in junior high school, but I never published anything. I was an off-and-on writer. Once my kids started reading, I thought about writing books for children, but I never had a good idea until Annabelle. What do you like to do for fun? Surfing, gardening, and hiking. What's next for Annabelle? I am for sure going to write a third book featuring Annabelle. But, after that, I might start working on books about some of the other Forgotten Fairies. I think maybe Fevrile deserves a chance to tell his story.

Book Description
AnnaBelle's Spirit" is the follow-up to "The Journey, The Dreams, & AnnaBelle" The writing in this book takes the story to the next level, adding more depth to the already troubling life of AnnaBelle and her two daughters. It tells of her first husband, how he destroyed her young dreams, and forever altered her faith and trust in men. Leaving her with two small children, and a mountain of debt that she alone would have to deal with. Then came the "step -dad from hell". The girls jokingly referred to him as "Daddy Dearest". He ruled their lives for nine miserable years before they were rid of him. AnnaBelle moved her daughters from St Petersburg, eventually settling in Indianapolis. AnnaBelle's work brought her in contact with politicians, movie stars, racers, and then the DiMaggio family after a move to San Francisco. There would never be another man in her life to tell her what to do, or intimidate her daughters. Although this story focuses on AnnaBelle, it eventually includes life from Carolyn's perspective. It follows both women on a journey through a lifetime of challenges, dreams, and temptations. One of Carolyn's decisions continues to haunt her dreams, as well as her waking hours. Both she and her mother possess the gypsy spirit that would prove to be difficult to control at times. The continuing saga of the Wicker and Bollan women attests to the strength of these families. From 1924 to 2007, a lifetime of dreams, a lifetime of journeys. Throughout the book you will find the subtle humor Carolyn uses in everyday life. You will also find family photographs that span the timeline of the story. As with her first book, she hopes this will bring the family to life for her readers.
