<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Fay Jacobs is back with more wise, witty, and laugh-out-loud observations about the craziness of life in Rehoboth Beach!<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>As the author of four humorous memoirs, activist and comedian Fay Jacobs returns with her newest tall tales, <i>Fried & Convicted, Rehoboth Beach Uncorked</i>. And, as you'd expect, It's chock-full of Fay's signature witty, wise, and often laugh-out-loud commentary about the craziness of contemporary life in the diverse and welcoming resort town of Rehoboth Beach on the Delaware Coast. <p/>This time, though, everyone's favorite "Sit-Down Comic" grapples with the insanity of a high-tech bra, cartoon bladders in prescription advertising, and refusing to act her age . . . <p/><i>Fried & Convicted</i> was written over the last few years and culminates with Election Day, 2016. It chronicles the joy of gaining equal marriage rights for same-sex couples, tales of Icelandic lagoons, Provincetown adventures, and much ado about lesbians of a certain age. It tells a few harrowing personal stories, such as Bonnie's unnerving medical diagnosis, the time Fay went kayaking with alligators, and how she came up with a public relations scheme to rescue her pal's purloined pooch. And through it all, she finds a way to make it provocative, political, occasionally heartwarming, and reliably hilarious. <p/>Featuring Fay's latest magazine columns plus new, never before published material, <i>Fried & Convicted</i> is a pleasure for longtime fans and new readers alike. <p/>Come along for the ride--you'll be happy you did! <p/><p><b>Fay Jacobs</b> spent thirty years in Washington, DC working in journalism and public relations.
