"Deb DiSandro is not slightly off—she is straight on target. Her essays
bubble with wit, freshness and ever-so-real life."
—Jacquelyn Mitchard
Supermom will save the day! A native of Chicago, Deb DiSandro has what it
takes to balance kids, pets, and a spouse, all with an unfailing sense of humor.
Yet, all heroes have to start somewhere. Before her supermom days, she was an
undergraduate at Columbia College in Chicago, where she majored in
communications. After graduating, she wrote and produced promotional spots for
WCIA Channel 3 in Champaign, Illinois.
DiSandro discovered her natural flair for comedic writing when she published
her first article in Wisconsin's Milwaukee Journal. This gave birth to
"Slightly Off," a weekly humor column created by DiSandro, first run
in the Sussex Sun. Currently, "Slightly Off" appears in several
newspapers, including the Post-Tribune in Gary, Indiana, and other weekly
publications.
As a performer, she has written and produced three one-woman comedy shows,
her trademark favorite being "Dr. Deb's Prescription for a Healthy Dose
of Humor." First-time listeners and loyal fans alike can tune in to KKAT-FM
in Salt Lake City, Utah; WRMN-AM in Elgin, Illinois; or WPTF-AM in Raleigh,
North Carolina, to hear her latest slice of humor.
Tales of a Slightly Off Supermom: Fighting for Truth, Justice, and Clean
Underwear! features a collection of witty and downright
hilarious essays about every aspect of motherhood, from dirty diapers and
defiant teens to disobedient dogs and gadget-loving husbands. She resides in
Plainfield, Illinois, with her husband, three children, dog, and goldfish—quite
the balancing act, but a piece of cake for this slightly off supermom.
