(from the back cover) “Born Under a Lucky Moon is the tale of two very important (but distant) years in the lives of Jeannie Thompson and her (embarrassing, crazy) colorful family members to whom “things” just seem to happen. From the Great Lakes of Michigan to Los Angeles and back again, it is the story of surprise marriages, a renegade granny, a sprinkler system cursed by the gods, and myriad other factors Jeannie blames for her full-tilt, out-of-control existence. But it’s also about good surprises – like an unexpected proposal that might open Jeannie’s eyes to her real place among the people she loves most in the world…. the same ones she ran away from to begin with.”

She never took a writing class. She was too afraid she would be told she wasn’t good at it and that would be that.

I’m so glad that you enjoyed the book as much as I did! I am lucky to be working with Dana on this book and am so excited. I thought this book was a really fun and heartwarming read that anyone with a crazy family can relate to (aren’t all families crazy in their own way?).
I wanted to remind everyone that they can read sample chapters at http://www.bornunderaluckymoon.com. Or, find Dana online at:

I read that this book was largely based on real life events in my life. The story that takes place in 1986 is pretty true to the author’s real life. Nice that her husband shot that video – he’s close by her side.
The novel is based on true events from the author’s life.
I learned that Dana just had a book signing at a Barnes & Noble in Santa Monica on the 17th :)
