Good News! My fourth book is available on Amazon and Barnes and Noble. This book was a lot
of fun to write. The artist did a magnificent job on the cover. A special thanks goes to
the editor that helped me tremendously with the wording in the book. The result is a
perfectly blended work of art.
Finally, the humorous book about marriage that will have you laughing the afternoon away. The book is written from Matthew's perspective. He adores his wife as is the rule and purpose of all husbands. Patti is high on the scale of being spirited, bubbly, feminine, volatile, beautiful, adorable, purpose driven and playful—all within a few months. According to Matthew, the future is going to be an exhilarating roller-coaster ride with Patti. He became more nervous than ever when he knew he had the courage to marry Patti. The Story Graph description of this book: Readers who appreciate complex, character-driven narratives exploring the tumultuous dynamics of marriage and the interplay of love, passion, and personal demons will find this book compelling. |

My third book is now on Amazon and Barnes and Noble. I'm really pleased with this
book. I enlisted the support of a really good editor. When she was not laughing
at the contents of this book, she offered some great insight by helping me create a book
that flows from one funny story to another. I do have a supply of this book at my house.
Just stop by, take a look at our 1200 hostas and buy a book.
When the book was first published, Amazon printed the book on the wrong paper which meant the beautiful pictures of the hostas in the book were black and white. I finally was able to fix the issue with the pictures. You will see this book is listed as version 2 on Amazon. The book is still on it's first edition in Barnes and Noble because they have always used the correct paper. I'm really excited because I plan to translate this book into Russian! This will be a long process. This project will be lots of fun. |

I wrote this book because my house was mentioned by another author in his book.
At the time he wrote his book, my house was the other author's brother's house.
This book is a fun hilarious look at home ownership while being married to a plant fanatic.

This book is a humorous view of Customer Service. The problem of wrong customer service
occurs before the customer enters into the business to engage in a service or a product.
The analogy is that there is a hole in the dam and there is water damage downstream from the dam.
Everyone is concentrating on managing the downstream damage, rather than fixing the hole
in the dam. The hero, the customer service employee, has the solution to all poor customer
service issues. I imply in the book that Corporate actually likes poor customer service
because it gives them a reason to keep hourly wages low.
The Story Graph description of this book: This book is ideal for readers who appreciate satirical workplace stories celebrating the unsung heroes navigating corporate absurdity. |
