Los Angeles Author Publishes New Book

Introduction to an American Humorist: I Believe, a new book by Susan Barbara Shapiro: SBS, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

"Laughter is the best medicine" is a favorite cliché for many of us. Some take this literally while others realize that, yes, life has a lot of ills that we need laughter to take our minds away from misery.

About the Author:
Susan Barbara Shapiro has been through a personal journey that's littered with joy, sorrow, and disappointment where she found that sense of humor keeps her going and living. As a humorist, she would like to share those experiences in a way that could both entertain and teach. When you're feeling envious, just look at the brighter side: "If your neighbor has more than you, you have the better view." And when you think that the world is closing down on you, think about this: "Maybe people of great religious belief and faith will hear these words and laugh a moment out of seriousness to realize that God's problems are possibly worse than yours."

"Introduction to an American Humorist: I Believe" is a 96-page paperback with a retail price of $14.00. The ISBN is 978-1-4349-1267-1. It was published by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
