Turns out, she's an author promoting her new book, Confessions of Super Mom. As I read the email, I became more intrigued and wanted to know more about her and her book. I figured it couldn't hurt, and at the very least would make good posting material for this blog, which was long overdue for an entry.I checked out Ms. Hauser's website and was pleasantly surprised at its thoroughness. I learned quite a bit about my namesake and what her story is. Her book, which follows the journey of Birdie Lee, an average single mother who unwittingly metamorphoses into the clean machine heroine, SUPER MOM, seems like a fun read, even if you're not a mother.
I don't have kids myself, but after babysitting my two-year-old goddaughter a few times, I take my hat off to all the real supermoms out there. I congratulate you for your fortitude and dedication. Although I don't envy your position sometimes, you're definitely the greatest unsung heroes.
You can pre-order Confessions of Super Mom from the website or Amazon.com, or wait till it's official release in bookstores on August 22. I just read a short excerpt from the first chapter, and from what I can see this book should provide a great source of fun and escape. I look forward to reading the rest.
Melanie's also got a blog, Refrigerator Door, that I'll be checking out. I've already added it to the New Word blogroll.

Hi Melanie, from Melanie. (Confession - my family calls me Mel, and I've always hated it. Are you a Mel, or a Melanie?)
Thanks for the kind words, and I apologize if I annoyed you with my email. (It's a fine line between being annoying, and being unemployed. That's what I'll be if nobody buys my book.) I'm definitely linking to your site, and will be sure to visit regularly.
Hey Melanie,
You're the last person I expected to comment! I was glad to talk about your book. (Anything to keep you off the bread line.) ;-)
How'd you find me in the first place? Was it through the site feed? Just curious.
People seem to automatically start calling me Mel once they get to know me. I don't mind at all. (It's "Melly" I can do without, although my mom and one old friend are the exceptions).
When you're a nervous soon-to-be-published author with low self-esteem, you may sometimes, perhaps, Google yourself. And that's how I found your post. Now, where I got your name to begin with, I'm not sure! I search for blogs that are about smart women readers, and somehow that's how I found yours - but you know how it is; one blog leads to another blog leads to another, and so I honestly don't remember how I originally found you.
