Biography
I believe that too much personal information about an author can detract from a reader's enjoyment of his works, since the written word can and should survive on its own and doesn't need the crutch of an author's personal trivia. I don't want to seem evasive, however, or rude to my readers, so I will try to add a little biography. The overwhelming motivation of my life has been to attempt to be the good citizen, the boy scout. I've been the blood donor, the volunteer construction worker, one of the men and women happy to spend the day cleaning up the nearby park or the neighborhood. I want to like myself; I want to like the people around me. Of course, these activities rarely provide any fodder for interesting books or short stories, so I have to search far beyond my favorite environment for ideas.

THE Interview: Everyone Should Read This
by Piso Mojado
You set the price! 4170 words. Published on January 30, 2012. Essay.
I have given a platform to those who believe that oil-based gasoline should be replaced by ethanol gasoline which is produced from agricultural by-products and refined (distilled) using alternative energy methods. However you feel about this issue, I think you will find this interview interesting. The ramifications include a major change to the basis of most of the economies around the world.

"Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndropwllllandysiliogogogoch" is the book I have recently published. "UPS! Ebook Buyers Beware" takes the reader behind the scenes of that unprecedented project to an understanding of the factors an e-writer must consider and how, on occasion, a horrible outcome can be overlooked by even the most conscientious of writers.

The Trilogy Of Canine-centric Dog Stories
by Piso Mojado
Price: $3.99 USD. 23380 words. Published on December 16, 2011. Fiction.
A "canine-centric" dog story is one in which the human beings badly misunderstand the central dog character and learn valuable lessons about the world of canines. These stories have many surprises, are full of humor, and are suitable for the elementary and junior high school student. All three of these stories have previously been published separately and are available as unique ebooks.

Price: $1.99 USD. 10460 words. Published on December 4, 2011. Fiction.
You'll love this book. Really. The first pages are a little difficult, but after that it's smooth sailing. The entire book, except for a few Welsh words and place names, is in English. The moral of this ebook is "Don't get obsessed by the less important". You'll meet a wonderful woman and a terrible villain, learn a great secret, experience a conflict from a safe distance, and much more.

Someone who wants to be loved by everyone all the time probably shouldn't be an artist. Someone somewhere will find something wrong with ones work. However, this may be the most senseless review ever. Or hopefully, it was just some woman having a bad day. Your name isn't Piso Mojado, so you'll probably laugh. Or you might react as someone first hearing of the ancient Greek legend Absurdicus.

The Dog Who Sighed
by Piso Mojado
Price: $0.99 USD. 2830 words. Published on October 15, 2011. Fiction.
This is part of a trilogy which also includes "The dog who cried, 'Woof'" and "The dog that moo-ed". This is a fast-moving short story appropriate for young readers (although I believe adults will find this funny and a good read). The tale revolves around a dog named "My Good Friend And Companion Dylan" who is perpetually giving his owners and everyone else sighs and a sad look. Surprise ending.

Aliens, cannibals, and witches
by Piso Mojado
Price: $2.99 USD. 6240 words. Published on August 27, 2011. Fiction.
The famous starship captain sets the tone of this book from the first stanzas. We sometimes need to stand apart from ourselves, and realize that the world is made of individuals who derive their motivation from unique histories and understandings. The second story (in light verse) illustrates this enlightened view as sweet Maddie (she'll break your heart) gradually reveals her unimpeachable logic

If you like to laugh, volume four
by Piso Mojado
Price: $2.99 USD. 7910 words. Published on August 18, 2011. Fiction.
"If you like to laugh, volume four" is a collection of light verse appropriate for all ages. This volume includes my contribution to peace in the War between the Sexes ("Mixed signals"), the solution to the Bar Doll mystery (about "Howard", the multi-millionaire who fascinated a generation of Americans), the first "quadrangle" literary form, a Doctor Gearlo story, Professor Zero, and much more.

11/11/11
by Piso Mojado
Price: $0.99 USD. 2010 words. Published on August 18, 2011. Fiction.
Perhaps it is only author's delusion, but I sincerely believe "11/11/11" is one of the best science fiction stories of all time. The last line of the story provides a never-before-conceived alternate meaning for human existence, and the entire premise revives the age-old debate between free will and determinism. This was heavily downloaded before 11/11/11. The themes are even more relevant now.

The dog who cried "Woof"
by Piso Mojado
Price: $0.99 USD. 2270 words. Published on August 14, 2011. Fiction.
Young readers and young listeners will love this remarkable dog. Parents of young children will like the surprise ending. This is not The boy who cried, "Wolf" although it is kind of a homage to that fairy tale and to my own story about Stonehenge in the "If you like to laugh" series. I have tried to move the plot as quickly as possible to keep the attention span of young readers.

If you like to laugh, volume three
by Piso Mojado
Price: $2.99 USD. 4810 words. Published on August 12, 2011. Fiction.
Volume three is, like the previous books, mostly light verse appropriate for all ages. It begins with a tribute to race car drivers who have an unheralded talent I am the first to honor, and is followed by the Uncle Sam blues ("I wish I were worth nothing / I'd have no debts I'd have to pay / I would find myself at even / and start over on that day").

If you like to laugh, volume two
by Piso Mojado
Price: $2.99 USD. 4190 words. Published on August 12, 2011. Fiction.
This is intended as a feel-good book. "If you like to laugh, volume two" is mostly light verse, suitable for all age groups, middle-school to senior citizen. There's a story about a possible baseball Hall-of-Famer, an explanation of why the conquistadors had to flee the Americas, a scathing indictment of Neil Armstrong, a classic tale of man's best friend, Shakespeare rap, and much more...

If you like to laugh, volume one
by Piso Mojado
Price: $2.99 USD. 3170 words. Published on August 11, 2011. Fiction.
There are 25 poems, most with unusual (often startling) themes in this first volume of the "If you like to laugh" series. The size of the verses range from one stanza to several "pages", appropriate for any age, from middle school reader to senior citizen. These are, I believe, quality verses, unlike anything you may have read before. The humor depends on irony, reversals, and absurdity.

Why the Russian language may be a clever hoax
by Piso Mojado
Price: $0.99 USD. 1380 words. Published on August 8, 2011. Fiction.
This story stars Olga ("Olga" is a pseudonym to protect the woman from Shakespeare-loving Britons), an idealistic musically-voiced schoolgirl who left Russia in the 1990's to bring Light to the savages in the British Isles. I first heard her on British audio tapes, declaring in her comic tones, "This summer I am going to England to teach Our Shakespeare (nash Shakespeare) to the British."

The monsters that were afraid of children
by Piso Mojado
Price: $0.99 USD. 1070 words. Published on August 8, 2011. Fiction.
This is a book meant to be read to small children, designed to assuage their fears of monsters and of the dark. There are humorous exchanges between the older sister and younger brother, and between the monsters and young children. As the book progresses, the children find less and less reason to fear monsters. This is also a good book for a young reader, and to teach children about e-readers.
