A TV sitcom based on Susan’s books is currently in development.

Her most recent book, Teenagers & Toddlers Are Trying to Kill Me! was the #1 Mother’s Day Parade Pick in Parade magazine: “Surviving parenthood is never so funny as when Susan Konig tells tales of the joyful chaos that is life with her four children.”
