  All Because of a Love Note - How...

  Two words saved my life, two modest, but mighty words—THANK YOU! The most compelling chapter of my story began with a Love Note, one simple handwritten gesture of love, hope and gratitude. 
  My purpose was handed to me in the shape of an envelope, a simple, paper container with a sealable flap that holds a little bit of hope for our everyday heroes. As it turned out, a life of stationery was my destiny, not a stationary life. And it all began on the heels of a broken heart. 
  For the better part of my life, I dreamed of and even prayed for an epic love story, and this is a love story on so many levels. I just never expected it to come at such a great toll. But then again, if you look back through the course of history, the greatest love stories always do. 
  Natalie June Reilly is a freelance writer and every bit her mother's daughter. She is the founder of Nothing but Love Notes, a movement that has inspired a generation of love and gratitude. Somewhere along the way, she unearthed her happy ending, landing the beach, the boy and now the book. None of this would have been possible, if not for God's grace, a mother's love and a handwritten Love Note.

  I live in Springfield, Ohio. (Don't worry - my cat is safe.) 
  I'm pushing thirty. 
  Anndd . . . my career sucks. 
  On top of all that, my elderly although well-meaning landlady has made it her life's mission to make sure I walk down the aisle. But this time - she's gone too far! She rented the other side of my duplex to a guy she claims is hot eye candy, and get this: he has his own business! 
  Yep! He is 'The Bug Guy - Licensed to Kill.' 
  He and I did not get off on the right foot for a slew of reasons. But then - my 30th birthday bash happened and in a rare departure from my normal behavior, I totally lost all social inhibitions (with the help of tequila) and awoke to . . . total confusion! Did I mention I was totally naked and The Bug Guy's tee shirt was under my bed? 
  Just when I thought things couldn't get any weirder - well, I was proven oh-so-wrong!

  Stand Up Barry Goldman

  David J Cohen

  All I’d wanted for as long as I could remember was a woman to love, a soulmate to live with in contentment for the rest of my days: friend, lover, companion, mother to our children.  
  Time was running out: I was getting old. Next year I would be eighteen. 
  Barry Goldman is a sensitive boy. He’s being primed to run the family business but has discovered a talent for making audiences laugh at his silly poems. 
  At last, he has found something that might make him attractive to girls – in particular, Harriet Fink - but there’s not much call for delicate, earnest poets in the 1970s comedy world of hot-panted dolly birds and battle-axe mothers-in-law. 
  Then one night he sees Kris Dean on stage and understands that the world of comedy is about to change forever. 
  Stand Up, Barry Goldman – like Elena Ferrante, but with jokes - is the debut novel of David J. Cohen, stand-up comedian and writer best known as the creator of dozens of songs for multi-BAFTA winning hit TV show Horrible Histories, and less well known as lead singer in the world’s first Jewish heavy metal band, Guns’n’Moses. 
  "Funny and fascinating, a lovely tale." Jo Brand 
  "Powerfully funny, often moving... Dave has created the Jewish Adrian Mole of alternative comedy." David Quantick

But apart from those minor occurrences, it’s a pretty run of the mill read… if you’re illiterate.By the popular star of ‘Funny Business’ and Radio Hauraki Morning Pirates (and let’s not forget the Harvey Chicken ads…)
