In the small town of Brookwood, Iowa, forty-one-year-old food columnist Helen Munson, unappreciated by her two teenagers and her lazy husband,  longs for more out of life, but hasn’t a clue how to make that happen. In fact, her tendency to overreact and put herself in embarrassing situations sabotages her own efforts to assert herself.

Helen impulsively starts writing a spy novel whose main character exudes traits Helen tries to embody in her own life: power, assertiveness, and the ability to kick butt. However, this persona doesn’t quite manage to keep her out of trouble, or jail. With help from a cast of  quirky characters, such as her hippie best friend, a free-spirited drifter, and a pair of fashionable gay store owners, Helen just might be able to pull off the transformation of a lifetime.

Praise about Bobbing for Watermelons:

" There were times I was laughing so hard I wheezed, also a plus! This is one of those books you won't want to put down until you get through the whole thing, and you'll be glad you know Helen when you're finished."

"April Moore has struck a chord of domesticated genius in this story of Helen who learns through a mix of choice and happenstance that there is more to life than what she has elected to endure. Endearingly funny and poignantly tragic Helen's walk through life is in every way a story that is authentically human."
