Description

A delightful comedy of post-millennial manners, apocalyptic career moves, and a woman's last chance to get life right...

RULE #1: DON'T PANIC-IT ONLY ATTRACTS SHARKS

It's not the end of the world. That's what 39-year-old Tess Eliot has to remind herself after losing her job writing a newspaper column ("Tess Knows Best") and being dumped by her boyfriend for a younger woman (a feng shui expert? Really?) Then Tess is hired to write an etiquette guide preparing readers for the Ancient Mayan doomsday of December 21, 2012, and she has to ask herself: Could the world really be coming to an end?

RULE # 12: LIVE EACH DAY AS A JOYOUS ADVENTURE

At first, Tess fakes her way through chapters like "Boundaries in the Bunker" and "Cannibalism: Yes or No?" But after uncovering a secret plot for world destruction, she is forced to embark on a life-changing odyssey of her own-involving all-too-close encounters with touchy-feely survivalists, conspiracy theorists and one handsome guy who seems way too perfect.

Filled with wit and insight (including Tess Eliot's "Twelve Rules to Live and Die By"), Etiquette for the End of the World is a deeply funny novel of romance and self-discovery.

Jeanne Martinet's column "Citiquette" appears in two New York City newspapers: The West Side Spirit and Our Town. She is the author of seven books, including the widely-acclaimed The Art of Mingling. This is her first novel. You can find out more at www.Jeannemartinet.com and www.missmingle.com
