The Mancode: Exposed and A Walk in the Snark
by Rachel Thompson
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Blurb for The Mancode:
Exposed:
-
I'm over forty.
I don't have a blankie. I have vodka.
-
I'm no
'ologist.' I don't give advice. If that's what you're looking for, go buy Dr. Somebody's
book.
-
I write about
men, women, sex, & chocolate. My experiences, my truth, my martinis.

Praise for The
Mancode: Exposed -- already a #1 bestseller in Marriage, Parenting
& Families AND Parenting & Relationships!
5/5 Star Reviews:
--As a long time warrior in
the Battle of the Sexes, I would've won a lot more skirmishes had I had a copy
of Mancode in my saddle. Reaching back toward my shotgun, I would've
found this book. Instead of shooting the man, I could've said, "Stop
acting like a man!" Buy Mancode and stop wasting bullets.
~ Beth Wareham, author Power
of No
--Finally! A woman who gets
what I'm going through every day, front hat whole spitting thing to my deep
abiding love for chocolate. Well done!
~ Amber Scott, author
of #1 Kindle bestsellers IRISH MOON, FIERCE DAWN, WANTED
--Mancode: Exposed is a
scathingly funny, rapid fire and heartfelt looks at guys. Author Rachel
Thompson delivers a satirical piece that invokes strong shades of Penny
Marshall and Seth McFarlane.

& Creator, Cutting Room Floor radio program
Blurb for A Walk in the Snark:
-
Be forewarned --
the material in this book has been called controversial in
nature. It is based on the author's popular blog. There are recurrent
themes regarding men and women, love and loss. It's not all funny. But
it is all honest. Can you handle the snark?
Sometimes I think I'm
too jaded. Then I think no, it's just the lighting.
Praise for A Walk In The
Snark -- now a #1 Bestseller!
5 of 5 stars!
--The commonalities we all
share is what makes this book spark to life.
Tony Eldridge, Author, The
Samson Effect
--Thank you for making the
lives of women and men more intelligible, Rachel, and for making us laugh at
ourselves!
Berit Ellingsen, Author, The
Empty City

Rachel believes
"Men are from Seinfeld, Women are from Friends," and so do her
legions of fans. She dares to ask "Why do men want to change the world,
but can't change a roll of toilet paper?"
●
Drawing on her
decades (#deargod has it been that long?) of marriage, friendships, and past
relationships, Rachel's specialty is observing male behavior and dissecting it
with humor (Shopping is NOT a Verb). Think of her as the Scientist of
Snark...without the ugly white lab coat #asif
Husband: Mumble,
mumble, mumble.
Daughter: What?
Me: It's okay. I speak
husband.
See why everyone is buying
this book! Mancode, Chickspeak, and much, much more!
See why critics love it!
More praise:
5/5 Stars:
Crisp, cutting, and
caffeinated. A gem of a read.
~Rebecca Tsaros Dickson,
Author, I Could Tell You Stories; Editor-In-Chief, Indie Ink
The author's wicked sense of
humor sprinkles every day stories of relationship angst with spicy hot pepper
with keeping it real adventure.

AUTHOR Bio and Links:
I'm a chick who writes stuff
that makes you laugh. My book A Walk In The Snark hit #1 on the Kindle
Motherhood list this past September (do you think they know I talk about sex?
Shhh.). It's since hit about oh, SEVEN more times. #woot! I've been nominated
for Funniest Blog, Best Humor Writer & Redhead Who Makes A Killer Dirty
Martini (okay, I made the last one up, but it's true. Honest.).
I released The Mancode:
Exposed right after Thanksgiving 2011! Two books of snarky goodness, baby.
I've been told I write in
the style of that Dickens guy. Kidding.
I'm a mom, a wife, and a
recovering pharmaceuticals rep. It's been a long process but I'm doing okay,
thanks.
I also used to sell Trojan
brand condoms. Yeah, it's hilarious, I know. I did it for three years way back
when, and I was their top salesperson in the Western Region, a dubious honor at
best. My number-one customer was the Mustang Ranch. No, seriously. The Mustang
Ranch. I couldn't make stuff like that up.
The experience definitely
gave me insights into the... er... ins and outs of men.
So it should come as no
great surprise that I write about how men (The Mancode) and women (Chickspeak)
approach most things differently. And since I did, in fact, grow past my Trojan
days (in more ways than one or--insert your own joke here), I've thrown in a
few tidbits about marriage, kids, being a mom, living in the OC (ya know-being
a pale redhead living in a sea of blondes), coffee, and vodka. Not necessarily
in that order, depending on the day.
Don't read this book to find
advice about how to be sweet or nice. I'm pretty much allergic to both of those
words. Actually don't read this book for advice on anything. (My lawyer made me
put that in just in case you know, you thought I could save your marriage or
something - not).
Or if you are looking for
some light, heartfelt humor in everyday life (Erma Bombeck-style), well, I'm
really not your girl, either. Nothin' homespun about the Queen of Snark, baby.
Mostly I just laugh at stuff and make up words (See "Refrigeratoritis and
Manesia.") Yet somehow it all seems to work.
And don't call me cute.
(Hint: Babies and puppies are cute. Grown women are soooo not.)
Special note to men: I write
frequently about "The Mancode"--like how you guys do goofy stuff and
we women try, and often fail, to understand. (Um, change the toilet paper roll
much? Yeah, that's what I thought.) If that offends your sensibilities, this
may not be the book for you. Yeah, I'm crushed.
Like everyone, I've also had
some rough times. I share those with you, too. Life can't always be martinis
and beaches. Wait, this is the OC (Orange County, CA, for those of you from
Canada, or people on the East Coast who don't know California beyond LA). Naw,
not even here.
So, welcome to
RachelintheOC.
Now go read an essay or two
and find something to laugh at, would ya?
I have to go help my husband
find the butter. Again.
