New Humor Book for Middle-Aged Parents

Family Humorist Tim Herrera Pens New Collection of Parenting Stories


SACRAMENTO, CA: Middle-aged life is crazy enough, but add a house filled with teens to the mix and you create a recipe for laughter. Family humor writer Tim Herrera strikes a common chord with all parents by offering a charming and totally real look at the joys and frustrations of middle-aged parenthood in his latest book: “Dad, You Are NOT Going Out Wearing That!; Chronicles of Middle Aged Fatherhood” (iUniverse $12.95).

This newly released collection of essays and anecdotes from iUniverse offers a warm and funny look at fatherhood and parenthood, providing practical wisdom and universal appeal.

Here’s what some family writers are saying:

"If you're looking for the inside scoop on fatherhood and want a few chuckles along the way, this is the book for you," said family humor author Kathryn S. Mahoney.

"Tim Herrera is a master of giving readers a humorous look at the universal trials and tribulations of being a parent,” said nationally syndicated columnist Debbie Farmer.

"A father of four teenagers, Herrera writes from the heart and with an amazingly still intact sense of humor," said Karen Rinehart, author and syndicated humor columnist.

Herrera is the author of three other books: “From Wedgies to Feeding Frenzies”, “Where the Dust Never Settles” and “I’m Their Dad! Not Their Babysitter!” All three books are collections of warm and amusing essays on family and parenthood.

“My oldest son is going to college next year, so I really need to sell some books,” Herrera said. “Then I have three future college students following him. Feeding and educating these kids is expensive!”
