Kelly Harman Releases Did I Say That Out Loud?: Conversations about Life
PRLog - Jul 25, 2013 - TROY, N.Y. -- We've all had that "uh-oh" moment of wishing we could take back a comment that somehow escaped through the filter between our brains and our mouths. Kelly Harman chronicles her uh-oh moments in her newly released book, Did I Say That Out Loud?, a tell-all account of the author's misadventures in daily life.
In her book, Kelly combines her everyday moments with the vast experiences that comprise her life story, ranging from celebrating her ninth birthday at India’s Taj Mahal to being evacuated with her family in the midst of a civil war in East Pakistan, single motherhood to serial entrepreneur, and Burning Man devotee to self-made marketing maven. Told in the tone of a coffee-klatch gathering with your best girlfriends—you know, the ones who you can share anything and everything with—the author holds nothing back as she recounts the trials and tribulations of her life.
“The concept for the book originated in 2009 when I launched a blog with the same name; the idea was to share my experiences and give my friends a good laugh,” said Kelly. “We all need a break from the daily grind and my friends and family always found entertainment in the crazy moments that make up my life. The book idea was always in the back of my head, but became a reality a few months ago when I left my then-employer and went back into freelance consulting.”
In her new book, Kelly captures those "you can't make this stuff up" dramas and takes them one step further. She shows us that by reveling in the inevitable mess of the moments we wish we could take back, we may discover that sharing our stories is in fact healing, unifying, and often outrageously funny.
Bad for the laugh lines but good for the abs, some of these stories will hit close to home, others will stray far, far from your average woman on the street. But all are unified by the inimitable candor and hilarity that her friends agree is uniquely Kelly.
About the Author
Kelly Harman was born in Asmara, Ethiopia in 1962 and has walked the road less traveled ever since. Her childhood was spent overseas, living in eight different countries before she came to the U.S. at the age of sixteen. This experience inspired an adventurous streak and disregard for convention which has yielded a rich life, overflowing with great story material. Most recently Kelly came full circle back to the continent of her birthplace, celebrating her fiftieth birthday at the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro.
Kelly lives in Manassas, Va., with Bob, her husband and true love of twenty-three years. When she isn't writing about her adventures, Kelly loves spending time with her friends and family, but especially with her three grandchildren, teaching them the value of reckless honesty and unhindered fun.
