The Muse Who Served Me Breakfast

The Muse Who Served Me Breakfast is the comic misadventure of Jack Brand, who suffers from writer’s block.
His well-meaning literary agent sends him off to see a hypnotherapist to free him from this affliction.
The only trouble is the doctor is more Svengali than a therapist and puts Jack under so the shrink can turn Jack into his ghostwriter
and pen his own best seller. More disturbing, Jack’s dreams of becoming another Hemmingway go down the drain when Jack discovers
it is the waitress at his local diner whose ideas Jack unconsciously used as his own. No madcap escapades would be complete without
its kidnappings, inept and meddlesome cops, and help from a Forties movie star gumshoe. Finally, the fictional characters
from Jack’s books come to the rescue, enabling Jack, with the help of a legitimate therapist, to come to terms with his creativity,
successfully write again, and perhaps even find love.

Sex,Meds,Livin'The Covid Life



Discover you are not alone.
Do you want to take a break from living the solitary life?
Do you feel like laughing instead of sobbing?
It might seem odd to seek humor in a book about the Coronavirus, but Sex, Meds, Livin’ The Covid Life, by Eric Robespierre, is such a funny and entertaining book about safe sex during social isolation you will find yourself forgetting your woes. A word of caution, Sex, Meds, Livin’ the Covid Life is not for goody goodies.
Deborah Hecker, Ph.D

This is a very peculiar, interesting story. Best believe at the ending I heaved a long sigh—like, ‘one has to be totally nuts to write this’ kind of sigh. I was left with a wow.

The terminologies used by Gerry and Bern are the highlights of the book, interesting and totally crazy. Readers would surely think the same. The ending was also impressive, I didn’t realize when it came to an end and I found myself wondering just what was to happen next. That cliffhanger ending is just great—wicked—but great.

Who would’ve thought living the COVID life while simultaneously trying to satisfy sexual urges held this much adventure? Well, it does. Great writing

We Gave Them Life, Now They Are Trying To Take Ours



Discover you are not alone.
We Gave Them Life, Now They’re Trying to Take Ours is a collection of heartfelt, true confessions by parents, for parents of adult children. The book reveals the problems we all deal with if we are to have open, honest, and loving relationships with our kids.

We all walk on eggshells, afraid the wrong word or deed will provoke anger and harm the relationship we have with our kids.

We all suffer heartaches watching sibling rivalry tear apart our families.

We all endure sleepless nights spent wondering why they don’t call, share, show that they care.

The book will open your eyes. Teach you life lessons and most importantly, give you mindfulness.

Challenge you to examine relationships, and help you accept the one thing we all have in common, human frailty. Provide hope. If other parents can deal with these problems, so can you.

Robespierre has also given us a book full of humor. Most of it is at our own expense, but as someone once said, every survival kit should include a sense of humor.

How do you talk to a 34-year-old ‘child’ about work, relationships, love and sex? This book helps with real stories from parents like you -- and loads of good humor.
Dr. Peter Johnson

Distance from your children is the only common denominator that will keep you sane—or not. I can feel the pain and maybe see a glimpse of light for parents who are interviewed in this book. Kudos to Eric Robespierre, who was able to get these parents to talk so openly and honestly about their relationships, and for his insight and humor on this important topic.
Phyllis Tarter

Insightful, poignant and funny. From childhood to adulthood, represents real parental path experiences that can bring you to your knees or raise you to the top of the mountain. Regardless, of your direction, this a book of reality coaching that all parents should take to heart.

Lighten Up and Log In For Love



This book is 364 pages of hysterical humor and weathered wisdom (with a twinke in the eye) on the dramas and comedies of online dating. this book is highly recommended to newcomers to online dating for it's wealth of information and insights. Seasoned veterans are sure to find it most entertaining and often hilarious.
By WH, Amazon Purchaser.

Both amusing and honest, the author has drawn on his own (reluctant) experience with online dating and that of "online vets" who agreed to share their stories: some sad, some crazy, some funny. But they all ring true. The dialogue is enhanced by true poetic sayings, movie quotes and personal observation that are sometimes enlightening and sometimes downright hysterically funny. As someone who has had very limited experience with online dating, as a result of reading this book I find myself tempted to try it. But I need a pro to write my profile. Maybe I'll contact the author to get some help.
By Lucille A Roussin, Amazon Purchaser.

Being new to the online dating game, I was looking for guidance but I found much more. This book is very funny while also being informative and helpful to us newbies. It is filled with helpful insight and very entertaining to read. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and recommend it to all who are starting to navigate the ins and outs of online dating.

Telling all my friends this is the best book on internet dating. It covers all the bases in a humorous and non-threatening way.

Linda Navarro, Amazon Purchaser

...As if the idea of all us decrepit old baby boomers looking for love isn't funny enough, Eric Robespierre really rocks it. Even if your not in the market (so to say), you will have great fun reading his new book. And who knows, maybe you'll find love in the process.
Steven Karten, Amazon Purchaser

Making yourself available to a stranger on the Internet frightens me, but after reading Eric's book I have a better understanding of the risks and the rewards. It's honest, funny and I recommend it to anyone looking to find love on a dating site.

I’m so excited for everyone to read this book. I’m slightly biased because the author has been making me laugh since birth, but I’m also very serious when it comes to giving out 5 star ratings.

Living Large in America



"Of the hundreds of authors I have read in my life, there are very few who have written books compelling enough to read from start to finish without putting it down. Robespierre has that unique ability to PULL you through his narrative. You simply do not want to miss what is coming around the next curve. Hold the phone, meals and bathroom stops. You will not put this one down. I discovered him in his book, Cracking the Walnut, which was a totally interesting and unprecedented viewpoint on dealing with an illness. I took a chance on this book and I was not disappointed. I am looking forward to his next book."
Richard Pocker, Amazon Purchaser "When there is a new voice in fiction, attention must be paid. Eric Robespierre's new book, Living Large in America, is a wild, funny, highly imaginative experience. It puts a whole new twist on fiction and satire. I absolutely love this book and its surprises. You never know where you're going with Robespierre, except that it will always be funny and original."
Peter Johnson, Amazon Purchaser

"Combine Joan Rivers and Paris Hilton, a dash of Woody Allen, mix well... or Even Cowgirls Get the Blues meets American Psycho... "
Mike O'Brien, author, The Skeleton Key to Irish Terminology


"Another intense, impressive, hilarious (and sometimes hilariously disturbing) manuscript from Mr. Robespierre! The scale and imagination of this story confirm the amazing talent and range of the author. Bravo!"
Sarah Cloots, freelance editor, www.clootsamini.com


"I first became a fan of Eric's writing in his book Cracking The Walnut. It is a pleasure now to discover a new side of his talent in Living Large- a book, that is inventive, biting, and funny."
Victoria Jamieson, author and illustrator


"I felt as if I was reading a modern-day James Joyce novel. This is a compliment - I love Joyce!"

I got so sick and tired of receiving holiday newsletters about families that out-shined mine, I decided to create a family who make the Rockefellers look like paupers and the Royal Tenenbaums sane and whose exploits are so outrageously flamboyant they glowed even brighter than the sun!

Cracking the Walnut



"Talk about making lemonade from lemons.....Eric Robespierre's terrific sense of humour transforms a very serious subject into a human and hilarious read. His imagination and pal "Marlowe" brought many a laugh into the journey of a man dealing so honestly with prostate cancer and playfully dealing with his dread and fear. I was very interested in this book because I do know people who have suffered from prostate cancer and there are so many books out there that are seriously medically oriented. I thought the author's friendships were so important to him during the period of his ordeal and the bond between him and his children was very lovely. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is suffering from this disease and who would like to be uplifted, laugh a great deal and know that there is a very good chance of a happy ending! hope Mr. Robespierre is on his computer writing another wonderful witty and fun read!!!"

Linda Navaro, Amazon Kindle Purchaser


"As a physician it gave me a new insight into the anxiety that men with this disease go through. A good read for anyone who has had to face prostate cancer. In addition it may help men to communicate with their physicians on a more informed level."

Robert P. Lombardo, M.D., NYC


"Eric -- great chronicle of an awful ordeal, NYC style. Loved the neurotic internal monologues and alter ego; guess I'm not alone! Especially wild knowing the neighborhood and people you describe. The depictions of staff and doctors are great. I didn't know you were going through that. Will you add an epilogue?"

Mike O'Brien, author, The Skeleton Key to Irish Terminology

"Very enlightening, entertaining and straight shooting depiction of a patient's experience with Prostate Cancer treatment. An eye-opener for physicians and medical staff involved with patient care."

Steven M. Berman, M.D., NYC


"I had a dentist appointment yesterday that I was absolutely dreading. As I was LITERALLY shaking on my way to the office (in my defense, it DID end up being rather a hellish visit!)- I told myself to get it together. If you could handle cancer treatments and be so honest and brave in the telling, then I could handle a simple dentist appointment. So, however trivial my situation- thanks for lending me a bit of courage yesterday!"

Victoria Jamieson, author and illustrator


"A must read bookfor any physician who treats patients with prostate cancer as well as any patient diagnosed with possible prostate cancer. It was most informative about apprehensions and perceptions of a patient going through the diagnosis and treatment of this disease. It was a very readable and entertaining book and it will certa inly help me to better prepare my patients and deal with their prostate cancer."

Noel Friedland, M.D. Internist, Wychoff, N.J.
