Actually, I don't have one believe it or not. I'm too cheap!

Political history books, Books about football (particularly the Green Bay Packers), and anything that catches my interest really, regardless of the topic.

There's a desk under all this mess??!!

Oh heck no, I can't remember what the first story I ever read was, are you kidding?

I grew up in Salt Lake City Utah. I have always had an impish sense of humor, but where I grew up has no influence in my writing at all. At least I try fooling myself into believing that!

On the beautiful and tranquil West Coast of Greenland in a town called Aasiaat.

In Grade 1 when we learned the alphab- Oh you mean story wise? ;) Oh well when I was in High School, I wrote 2 short books about auto mechanics and how to perform vehicle maintenance.

On a nice (and not so windy) morning after my kids go to school, I pour A HUGE mug of coffee, go out to my gazebo fill up the bong, get comfortable and let the creative sparks in me fly baby! HAHAHA!! Yeah... TAKE THAT UTAH!

After reading the Jack Sh*t joke on the internet, the wheels began turning when I started thinking about the 6 kids of his. So I came up with who they are and who they got together with and who they created. I also wanted to talk a bit about each of them instead of just releasing a family tree, because the stories that were coming to me when I was thinking of how to explain the relationships and how they got together or what-not, were just too good to pass off or ignore. Everything just started falling into place so quickly and easily, that I had to grab a pen and paper. I ended up just writing like mad for days! I had papers covered with ink scribbles all around me. I looked around at one point and It was like a mold that was growing and spreading all around me! I had to stop myself from continuing because it would have turned into a bit of a novel if I kept going & adding more family members, so I decided to leave some people out and put them in book 2. (That is if this one is popular enough for me to make a book 2.) It will all depend on the fans.

They will mean a great deal to me. I wrote this to make people laugh using a strange play-on-words type of wit. It was great how the story tied together so nicely with the family trees I created, which adds to the humor of this colorful short story. We could all use a good laugh-your-ass-off story these days and hopefully this is something that will provide that. Hell, I'm not the slightest bit embarrassed to say I laughed my ass off several times writing this!

OH hell yeah, I crack myself up all the time!

Oh yes! And I have already begun the process. I need to select who will be the voice for the story. I will update everyone when it will be available. I'm quite excited about it!

Yes and to be honest, I feel the printed version is better than the e-book version. I'm just old school that way. The physical book is available in Paperback and can be ordered through Ingram Spark, Barnes and Noble, Chapters Indigo, Kobo, Amazon and several other online bookstores. There will be a Hardcover version as well but it will be available at a later date.

The ease of how the story unfolded and the flow of writing was just constant. There were very few times I had any sort of writers block, so that made it fun. I even came up with spin-off stories for some of the characters in this book like Hipolito and Death that will have their own separate stories but still have a tie-in to Jack Sh*t in some way or another. I hope to have these stories underway shortly. I am really excited about getting started on my spin-off story with Death. Hipolito's story is still in the planning stages... Poor Hipolito!

Other than High-School stuff and little things like that, this is my first real story that has a fairly high word count... Well for me anyways! :)

Coffee!

Honestly? I knew what I wanted and I ended up with something better! I wanted an expressive picture of Jack for reasons you will have to read the book to understand. I chose Vila Design from a listing of cover designers because she looked quite reputable and has plenty of award winning cover art experience. And to be honest, I really like how it turned out. Insider tip: That is my actual cousin Jack on the cover of the book. He wanted to be Jack Sh*t, so I figured, why not? He actually looks like a perfect Jack Sh*t! So I went to his place set up some lights, snapped a bunch of photos, and this was the result. It turned out really good. He was in the middle of saying "What the f***" and the timing of the photo was perfect and it shows!

I try to spend as much time with my family as I can. And when football season is going, you will find me SCREAMING at my TV as I am watching my beloved Green Bay Packers. I like taking hikes around different parks around the world, meeting new people and having sex... Not with the new people, heavens NO! What's wrong with you?! With my wife of course. I also enjoy working on aircraft maintenance projects too.

I want to create a couple of spin-off stories from this. One spin-off story is about Hipolito and his ups-and-downs in life and his awkwardness. Poor Hipolito... He really needs to be careful what he wishes for. And the other is a spin-off story that has to do with Death falling out of favor in the underworld and the time where he went through a really rough patch having to put up with some heavy ridicule, mocking and losing the respect of many in the afterlife. It's gonna be great. I already love the storyline I have for it!

I have a few ideas for other stories that are not related at all to this one brewing. One is what I consider to be a phenomenal storyline. I really want to share it but I just can't right now. I am still in the planning stages, but the plot is practically set. It is one of those stories that can do really well as a story, movie, a mini-series or even a full TV series. It is just that dynamic and has SOOOOO many possibilities for me to go off in. That is going to be another really fun one to do. However, I can already see me struggling with having to choose a story path when I can spin it in a few directions. It will be tough to let go of some ideas, but maybe I can spin them into sub-story books off the main plot as well, who knows. But I really love the story idea I have brewing for it. It will be rather shocking. Hopefully, it will be one of those "Can you imagine?" kind of reactions and I don't believe that kind of storyline has ever been done before. Blockbuster baby... BLOCKBUSTER!!

The other one is more of an animated short based on a theme that I have for it in my head. I really want to pitch the idea to Pixar, Warner Brothers or whoever will listen, but that's the problem so far, they don't accept ideas from the general public. I think that the creative geniuses at Warner Bros. or Pixar or whoever would be interested in the idea and would have a great time with this storyline. It would be a fun family-friendly story which can appeal to kids and even adults. Just like the Pixar films you see now. It would be more of a short animation as opposed to a full-scale storyline unless I get more ideas for it, but as of right now it is just a bit of an animated short. (I believe that's what they call it.)

I had no choice! What publisher in their right mind would publish this book?

HAHHA!! What marketing?? I can't afford anybody. I've even had to lay myself off!

I'm a success???
