REVIEW OF LIVE PERFORMANCE
Loved your part of last night with Justin Friello at the Linda! Hilariously droll -- loved your colleagues as well - and your outfit, of course! I had to rush out and was sorry not to be able to say this I person. - Maggie C
ALBANY TIMES UNION
“While nothing was off-limits, he stayed away from being preachy and avoided politics, for the most part, aiming to make them as short as possible with their own arcs. And there’s a lot of science (one of Lovrich’s fascinations) with a few quantum physics jokes thrown in.” – Donna Liquori

DISTURBING NEWS
Could a book filled with punchy short stories laced with dark humor be an antidote to 2020?Author Richard Lovrich is willing to bet it is. “Have a Very Bad Day,” his recently published and appropriately-named book is packed with hundreds of disturbing and wickedly funny bite-sized narratives. – Indiana Nash - The Daily Gazette

What do you get when you take micro stories, a delightfully warped worldview and a wicked sense of humor? You get Richard Lovrich’s book “Have a Very Bad Day.” – Donna Liquori - Albany Times Union
BAD CAT
I really like the short story concept and the stories. The size of the book is very readable and throwable at the cat when he’s being bad. Making it a purrrfect bad cat day.
DELIGHTFULLY TWISTED
You’re hilarious. I’ve been enjoying the delightfully twisted tails in your book. Right up my alley. – Kelli P
BAD READING MATERIAL!
I asked for a book and you brought me this? - Joyce (a nursing home resident)

HELICOPTER HILARIOUS
Your book is hilarious. I hope you sell a lot so that someday you can land your helicopter on my lawn. - Lillian
PLEASE!
If you like to laugh and enjoy a good read....please get this book! I absolutely loved it! - LK
NOPE
No this is not the adult version of The Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day, or is it? So much fun and easy to read these well-crafted and very short tales. - Sara
THIS IS YOUR BRAIN ON HAVBD
What a pleasure to have something to read that can be indulged for just a few minutes and then saved for the next time you need a brain jolt. A good laugh awaits each reading. Brilliant concept and a joy to navigate, just like the mind of the author. - June G
SEW NICE
I love your book so much I wish I could sew, I wish I could sew the words together and wear it. Where would I wear it? Well, where wouldn't I wear it. It would pair nicely with combat boots & a fine tiara. - Misty L
DOOMED CITIZENS
Richard Lovrich is in a class by himself. Somewhere Edward Gorey and Charles Addams are laughing themselves sick...appropriately so, because the doomed denizens who populate Lovrich's book find themselves captive to conditions so unpredictable and peculiar that Rod Serling would smack himself upside the head. Cheers! - Di
COFFEE SPITTING GOOD
Our friend Lovrich has just published a hilarious, satirical micro-story collection. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry. You’ll spit coffee out your nose. Don’t believe me, go buy a copy. - Paul G.
NO WONDER?!
Loving this book. It's as though Edward Gorey and Charles Adams spawned a wunderkid. - Marion S
SCOFF AT FOIBLES!
The stars fore tell of bad days for many, but not for you if you read "Have a Very Bad Day" Richard Lovrich is a wonderful man with a wicked sense of the macabre. I went seamlessly from reading David Sedaris's "Calypso" into this as it appeared on my doorstep right as I needed my next book (ignoring the pile I've been picking away at since New Years). It is an excellent book if you like to scoff at the foibles of life and sometimes death. - ANNE A
BRILLIANT!
Got mine today, read about 1/2 dozen so far. What a pleasure to have something to read that can be put down and picked up to spend just a few minutes to get a laugh. Brilliant concept. - JUNE G
OURRIGHT GUFFAWS!
Received - let the chuckling and outright guffaws begin! Seriously, Richard, thank you for this. Have always loved your very short story FB posts, but to have a small volume of them.. . . doesn't get much better than that. - SARA T
A BAD INFLUENCE!
I can hardly wait to read it! But first, I promised myself I would get outdoors today and wash the electrical service to the house--it's looking dingy. Hmm. Ladder's a little short. I'll just balance it on this five gallon bucket and this old lawn mower... - MICHAEL B
ORDERED YOURS YET?
Well, I'm about to have a very good very bad day, because I just received my copy of the deliciously terrifying book by the inimitable Richard Lovrich! Have you ordered yours? - ROSEANN C
BIG NEWS!
Plans are in place for the arrival of copies Have A Very Bad and its author in Saratoga Springs. First, a greeting by County dignitaries on the tarmac, brief remarks follow a review of the Guard Troops and then a motorcade into midtown Saratoga Springs past rosy-cheeked children waving your book as if it a Mao’s Little Red Book. After a lavish luncheon at City Hall, you’ll address a combined State Senate and Assembly in Albany. The usual round of media interviews withal. Rest up, Bunky. - JOHN O
