Quinn Cummings Releases "Notes from the Underwire" Audio Book in a Unique Way

With her successful blog, The QC Report, Quinn Cummings revealed her talent for writing strong material that both touches your heart and makes you roar with laughter. When I found the blog a few years ago, i was instantly drawn in. Within days, I had read the entire backlog of posts, giggling and tearing up and feeling a rainbow of emotions all along the way.

In 2009, Cummings released her debut book, "Notes from the Underwire: Adventures from My Awkward and Lovely Life." It is among the funniest books of the year, and it received rave reviews. "USA Today" called her, " Erma Bombeck with an edge." .

In the book, Quinn Cummings opens up about everything from living life as a "former child star" (she was nominated for an Academy Award for her role in "The Good-bye Girl) to her fulfilling current life as a businesswoman, inventor, blogger, author, and mom. She is a woman who simply tries to do the right thing, and that shines through each story and anecdote.

Now, Quinn Cummings has released the first chapter of "Notes from the Underwire" on audio via Amazon and iTunes. The funny reading really draws you in; one can't help but visualize the vivid descriptions and feel for those in the story. Her acting experience, vocal talents, and comedic timing seem to all contribute to a winning reading. She's a skillful, talented storyteller.

The opening chapter is a funny snippet from her life called "Al Dente." She relates her experiences in dealing with the dental care of her daughter. A parent's worst nightmare? Maybe, but Cummings relates it in such a way that it transforms into a laugh riot. As someone who is happily child-free with no plans to change that at any time, I nevertheless love reading about Quinn's adventures in motherhood. The point: It's the sort of comedy that is universal, regardless of its specific subject matter.

In "The Catcher in the Rye" narrator Holden Caulfield says, "What really knocks me out is a book that, when you're all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it. That doesn't happen much, though" Yes, it is a rare occurrence, but that is how you feel after listening to Cummings relate the belly laugh-inducing vignettes from her life.

The bad part? It ends. You will want to keep listening to the lyrical, hysterical prose from the book. I look forward to hearing her read the rest of the chapters. Once you have read the book, you will be looking forward to it, too.
