Bertha-Size Your Life with Jane Carroll!


Jane Carroll

Today it is great to welcome Jane Carroll, author of Bertha-Size Your Life. First, could you tell us what your book is about?

Bertha, as I usually refer to the book, is a series of life lessons disguised as fun and sometimes zany short stories. Bertha has moved in with the narrator who is experiencing an empty nest and immediately begins to turn her life upside down while making it right side up. The fun in the book comes with Bertha’s outlandish antics and wardrobe but her wisdom is always paramount to her quirkiness. I laugh and say that Bertha is who you would get if you could cross Lucy, Oprah and dress her like Peg Bundy.

The stories incorporate a lot of Law of Attraction principles along with other wisdom gleaned from traditional self-help teachings. But don’t let that fool you… Bertha adds her own flare to it and you’ll hardly recognize it! One of my favourite stories is Pink Flamingos. You may read it here. http://janecarrollauthor.com/pink-flamingos/
