Anderson, SC  Sept. 17, 2008:  Danby Mountain Press today announced that local author, Brian Greenleaf's latest book, Born Bent Over: Flashing the Vertical Smile at Middle Age, is now available.

If you're approaching 40, in your forties, or beyond your forties and need a great laugh, this book is for you.

Julie Donner Anderson, author of Past, Present, Future, Tense had this to say about Born Bent Over:

“Born Bent Over: Flashing the Vertical Smile at Middle Age” by Brian Greenleaf is a hysterical romp through the landmine of life we Baby Boomers refer to as middle age. Written as a series of humorous essays from a male perspective, this book also appeals to the estrogen set, with chapters that will have most “menopausal mamas” nodding in agreement and doubling over with laughter. Mr. Greenleaf flexes his comedic muscle best when writing about the inevitable physical aches and pains of aging and the necessary but feared procedures. If the thought of a colonoscopy has you wincing, this book will put your mind at ease just knowing you’re not alone. In fact, any book that so easily and humorously relates to real life, as this one certainly does, is a must-have if you wish to survive midlife with a smile…even if it’s a vertical one.

Born Bent Over: Flashing the Vertical Smile at Middle Age  ISBN 978-0-595-51695-5.  115 pages.  Available in paperback, hard bound and ebook.
