Fay Jacobs is back . . . again!
This time, though, everyone’s favorite “Sit-Down Comic” grapples with the insanity of a high-tech bra, cartoon bladders in prescription advertising, and refusing to act her age . . .
Fried & Convicted was written over the last few years and culminates with Election Day, 2016. It chronicles the joy of gaining equal marriage rights for same-sex couples, tales of Icelandic lagoons, Provincetown adventures, and much ado about lesbians of a certain age. It tells a few harrowing personal stories, such as Bonnie’s unnerving medical diagnosis, the time Fay went kayaking with alligators, and how she came up with a public relations scheme to rescue her pal’s purloined pooch. And through it all, she finds a way to make it provocative, political, occasionally heartwarming, and reliably hilarious.
Featuring Fay’s latest magazine columns plus new, never before published material, Fried & Convicted is a pleasure for longtime fans and new readers alike.
Come along for the ride—you’ll be happy you did!

“Delaware author Fay Jacobs easily aligns with those humorists current and past who are astute observers of the human condition in general, unafraid to discuss aging in a humorous manner, tell whopper tales that are in truth actual observations, and at the same time insert enough compassion that she deserves a big hug. She is a champion for the LGBT community, especially the microcosm that inhabits Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, but she doesn’t limit her keen insight to her own special collective society: this is a book of her journalistic tirades and exposés and commentary on everyday life that comes from her years as an astute journalist.”—Grady Harp, Amazon.com Hall of Fame, Top 100 Reviewer, Vine Voice
“Fay gives us an intelligent, hysterically funny and occasionally poignant look at how we live today, with hopes for tomorrow. Recommended for everyone, male or female, gay or straight.” — Echo Magazine
“When seen through the magnifying glass of her mind, life is by turns hysterical, terrifying, and moving. Fay is a queer national treasure, and her face belongs on Mt. Rushmore.” – Michael Thomas Ford two-time Lambda Literary winner
“She makes you laugh and she makes you think – and then you laugh again, and again and again.” –Jennie McNulty, comedian
“Even a straight, Irish, hopefully humorous, ex-nun can relate.” Ginny Daly, author of The Guest Book and past-president American News Women’s Club
“Pure Borscht Belt gold” – a funny, wisely observed & politically astute read.”– Jerry Wheeler, Out in Print
“Fay Jacobs is sometimes political, sometimes personal, and always timely. Nobody can make me laugh quite like she does.” —Georgia Beers, award-winning novelist
