Gail Rubin has published two very different award-winning books that incorporate humorous insights into the great themes of life: love and death.
A Good Goodbye: Funeral Planning for Those Who Don’t Plan to Die provides the information, inspiration and tools to plan and implement creative, meaningful and memorable end-of-life rituals for people and their pets.
Just as talking about sex won’t make you pregnant, talking about funerals won’t make you dead – and your family will benefit from the conversation. A Good Goodbye addresses the Baby Boomer generation with gentle humor on the vital information about funeral arrangements that most people don’t learn about until faced with a death in the family.
A Good Goodbye will help readers design a meaningful, memorable, healing end-of-life ritual, reducing costs and confusion while avoiding family discord and stress added to grief. It won first place for nonfiction books in the 26th Annual SouthWest Writers Writing Contest and was a finalist in the Family and Relationships category of the 2010 Book of the Year Award from ForeWord Reviews.

A Girl’s Pocket Guide to Trouser Trout: Reflections on Dating and Fly-Fishing illuminates the murky waters of the dating pool with insights inspired by fly-fishing lore and techniques.
If men were fish and women the anglers, trout are the good guys women want to land, Other Fish in the Sea the fellows who make their lives miserable. A Girl’s Pocket Guide to Trouser Trout helps a woman differentiate between the keepers and the losers and define her own angling style in the hunt for her trophy trout.
This witty, sometimes spicy book dishes information on Other Fish in the Sea to avoid, quality streams to fish (good places to meet good men), leader lines to cast (conversation openers), and natural, artificial, and exotic lures to utilize. What to do when the fishing hole runs dry, prospects for angling in the later years, trouser trout tips, and tall tales of trout landed or lost round out the book.
A Girl’s Pocket Guide to Trouser Trout was a top award-winner in the Humor Category of ForeWord Reviews’ Book of the Year Awards. It also won first place for nonfiction books in the 18th Annual SouthWest Writers Writing Contest.
