The Break-Up Diet

Annette Fix published numerous articles and editorials in her high school newspaper, located in a town full of trailer parks and meth labs. She moved on to write a campus lifestyle column for a community college newspaper until her 4.0 grade-point average propelled her into a private university.

Once there, she worked 40 hours a week, attended school fulltime, and cared for her beautiful toddler son (who was the direct result of a nightclub drinking and dancing accident). Annette dropped out of college 8 units short of graduation because she refused to rewrite her thesis. She still believes absurdist theatre is a vital contribution to world dramaturgy.

Annette went on to have grand aspirations of writing the next great American novelty. On her journey toward that lofty goal, she often found inspiration while busting her tail working as an exotic dancer to support her son and feed her writing habit.

She is currently designing ancillary merchandise such as T-shirts, chocolate scented perfume, and an emaciated action figure to promote her memoir, The Break-Up Diet. These products will be sold in the alley after her spoken-word readings in Los Angeles. Her local bookstore has already served her with a restraining order for holding Meet-the-Author sessions in the ladies’ room before she had any tangible products.

Annette lives in Laguna Niguel, California with her Danish Prince Charming and two socially retarded dogs–a Rottweiler/Shepherd and a Labrador/Pit Bull. She was recently empty-nested by her 20-year-old photographer son.

The Break-Up Diet is her first book.
