I'm working on telling stories of my comedy travels. . .there are a lot of weird experiences out there! And of course my comedy writing blog is what i write on weekly!

I wrote this book because I was being asked all the time "how do you come up with this comedy material so quickly?" I kinda got tired of answering that question, so I put the answer in an easy-to-read book, and I sell it cheaply! I also want people to start using humor more. . there's no mystery about it. I don't expect people to be a comedian. . .that's not what this book is for (though you can certainly use the tips to help your act). I want people to stop being boring!

I love what I do. . .writing, keynotes, comedy shows. . .it's a lot of fun. And I've got a mortgage.

I love riding my motorcycles and bicycles. . . anything with 2 wheels. I'm not great at it, but who cares. I also have a cat and a dog that I enjoy. . .and I love hiking. Neither the cat or the dog like hiking though.

I look at the recommendations. I read a lot of true crime and bios of people who do dangerous stuff that I'll never do, like climb Mt. Everest.

I try to spend time each day. . . i do carry a pen and paper with me and jot down ideas as they pop into my head.

I mostly just sell my books at my speaking events, but I really think there's a larger market of people who write and don't know how to add a little humor. That's who should be reading my book.

Messy.

I've been a comedian and comedy writer for over 25 years. I was fortunate enough to be able to write jokes right out of the gate. My stage presence in comedy took a little longer! Ha ha. I have 2 books out - one on how ANYONE can write humor titled "Finding the Funny Fast," and my second book "Convention Comedian."

This book is based on stories of my comedy career . . .what happened to me and what I learned. Most comics have wild party stories, but I don't have a lot of those. I have stories of things that happened - like having to perform on a spinning dance floor. Then I wrap up with the lesson learned. It's a short, fun read that will give readers a taste of the comedy life.

I just wanted to tell my story, and didn't want to spend a lot of time finding a publisher. I'm not a famous comedian, so going the traditional route of publishing may have been more challenging.

I enjoy getting my book out into the universe, and Smashwords is an easy way to do that.

Just getting to tell my story . . .

Not sure I have any. . LOL. But I do get notes here and there from people and it's really flattering.

I like books about people who have done things I'd never do, like climb Mt. Everest. So I don't really have a favorite author.

I did a fake newspaper back in junior high school for my journalism class. My newspaper was funny, but I made fun of the teacher, so I got in trouble. Lesson learned.

Probably the chronicles of Narnia was a big influence on me . . .even though now I really don't like fantasy books.

I got a good designer.
