<META NAME="description" CONTENT="Greetings From Jamaica, Wish You Were Queer
A novel comedy.
"The amount of money you need to live comfortably is directly relative to your number of relatives…if they don’t get enough of your money, you won’t live comfortably."

Marie Santora has a few secrets her wacky Italian family may not let her keep.  When she surprises the whole clan with a trip to Jamaica, the family collides in a hilarious Caribbean romp filled with lies, lesbians and even a few lemmings.  Siblings, Sicilians, and celebrity stalkers; money, mothers, and wayward meatballs all conspire to make a peaceful vacation anything but that.  

Greetings From Jamaica, Wish You Were Queer attempts to answer the following questions:
  
Is love, sex and happily ever after possible when money is involved?  Can an accused celebrity stalker pry open a closet in Hollywood?  Is it ever justified to push your elderly aunt into a swimming pool?  Can a younger brother pull off a mob style robbery when he has only seen one on TV? Can a fun-loving father ever resist a tray of free frozen drinks? Can a woman find love on an Island filled with her meddling family members?  There’s a good chance Jamaica may not be big enough…
