Women May Be From Venus, But Men Are Really From Uranus: A parody of Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus and other John Gray books

Wouldn't it be nice to read a book about relationships that made you laugh instead of point fingers? Now you can. Katherine Black, armed with her biting wit and in-your-face directness, takes on John Gray's over-simplified psycho-babble relationship books and delivers a knockout punch. Read why men couldn't possibly have come from Mars or any planet other than Uranus, how women are responsible for setting up civilization, and why men are inept when it comes to communicating with women. Ms. Black explains what men are trying to say, no matter how they're trying to say it. So if you're looking for a little reality, get ready for a wild ride as Katherine Black gets down and dirty in her hilarious and irreverent look at relationships The difference between the eBook and the book in print is the paperback has the original illustrations by award-winning illustrator Peter J. Welling, who received a 2012 Storytelling World Award in Category One - Young Listeners, for his work on The Kvetch Who Stole Hanukkah, by Bill and Susan Isakoff Berlin.

About the Author
While Katherine Black is the author of this book and other upcoming books, the credit should go to the concept holder: Finn W. Contini. While at a friend's Christmas party in 1996, he remarked to two women how he had recently read John Gray's Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus. One of the women pulled him and a friend of hers aside and commented that they should all write a book like John Gray's book, have it become a bestseller, and then quit their jobs and retire. Without any hesitation, he quipped that those two women should write a parody of that book and call it "Men are really from Uranus." The women liked the idea, but neither of them could write parody or were willing to make fools of themselves trying, so they urged Mr. Contini, a gifted humorist, to write the book himself, from the perspective of a woman. Unfortunately, he was unable to accomplish that task, so he enlisted the help of his friend Katherine Black, and together they wrote and published Women May Be from Venus, But Men are Really from Uranus under Katherine Black's name, with Mr. Contini holding the copyright.
