A Brief Synopsis of I Kill Me:

Christine Bacon has a fatal attraction. To all things fatal. A veteran hypochondriac, her near-death experiences are exacerbated when her husband proposes they have a menage a trois with Eleanor, his busty British massage therapist, to “shake things up.” As her marriage to Richard, a/k/a “Dick,” falls apart, so, too, does Christine, whose fear of her own demise causes her to research every freckle, blemish, cough, bump, lump, tingle and hiccup. She isn’t a doctor, but she plays one on the internet.

There is solace for Christine: in raising daughters Lily and Carli, leaning on her friends, and wearing out the shower massager. In order to heal, she struggles to become her own person and to view her symptoms (and ex-husband) as less malignant, while searching for that special someone who will love her–despite her grave condition.

Praise for I Kill Me:

“Hilarious, insightful and inspirational. This book is a fantastic read…I would definitely love to see this story being made into a film. This is the first book I have read by this author, but it definitely won’t be the last. I could not put this book down from the first page right till the last page. Five stars from me.”  — Becky Sherriff, The Kindle Book Review

“The characters and dialogue were real and entertaining, and I loved all of the characters in this book, especially [Christine’s] patient and tolerant friends whose forbearance in the face of Christine’s constant dubious maladies was touching and genuine. This book is funny–really funny–while at the same time artfully and poignantly peeling away at the layers of Christine’s phobias. Tracy H. Tucker has a talent for humor, and is expert at blending that humor with insightful and intelligent prose.” — Kimberly Llewellyn, The Indie Book Review
