About me:



"Kerala Goodkin conveys the wonderfully true sense of human nature as well as the psychology of personal relationships. A perfect little novel."
- Elizabeth Taylor, Reviewer for The Providence Journal



TOP 10 REASONS TO BUY MY NOVEL

1. Because I’m tired of all this self-promotion. Buy it and read it, so you can tell others for yourself how good it is.

2. Because if you’re a twenty- or early thirty-something, this book’s for you. It’s about a girl going through a quarter-life crisis while everything around her seems to be falling apart. Can you relate? I thought so.

3. Because it’s also got some sex (girl-on-girl action), some guns (ok, one gun) and some drugs (ok, pot).

4. Because it also tells you what the meaning of life is. In case you were wondering.

5. Because we need to prove to our parents’ generation that we’re still capable of reading books. You know, those things with pages that you hold in your hands?

6. Because if you buy it through the link below, a portion of the proceeds go to my nonprofit foundation. Then you can feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

7. Because it won the Elixir Press Inaugural Fiction Award. And that's almost like a Pulitzer.

8. Because the book is so good, it left the New York Times speechless.

9. Because it’s called “How Things Break.” Aren’t you dying to find out how?

10. Because I told you so. And if everyone always listened to me, the world would be a much better place.

Hey, Kerala. Just dropping by to say hi, and to give you a heads up on my blog. I use it for the sole purpose of posting my short stories. Perhaps there’s one you’ll enjoy.

Anyway, have a better one than yesterday, but not as good as tomorrow.
