Author bio:
I am an accountant with a sense of humour, which most people consider a contradiction. I live in the UK on the Wirral with my wife and two bitches. That's a Border Terrier and a Cockapoo, in case you're thinking I'm living the life of an African tribe leader who believes he's a gangsta rapper. I have three grown up children but have never quite managed to grow up myself. At the age of eighteen, I was often mistaken for pop idol, Donny Osmond. Nearly four decades on and ravaged by time, the best I can now do in the look-a-like stakes is Richard Osman from BBC TV's Pointless. Osmond to Osman, how the mighty fall. Chimpanzees in Dungarees is my first published book. I can imagine there's already more than a few, hoping it's the last.

The The "F" Bomb and Cussing in America (The Kid in the Hat Collection, Volume 2) by Joe H. Bell March 20, 2012 2568 words Read a sample
Author bio:
I was slapped into existence in 1952 in a small, rustic town named Longview in the state of Texas. Graduated Pine Tree High School in 1971 and North Texas State University in 1978. It took longer than normal, but I paid for it all myself. Enjoyed great success in the corporate business world which led to my moving to California in 1987, married in 1990 and starting my own business in 1993. The business ran well for a number of years, finally ceasing in 2011, thanks to the boys on Wall Street. It was November, 2010 when I was coaxed into writing my memoir, “Of Shadows and Footprints”. It is the story of a man that bestowed unsullied trust upon those deemed worthy, yet they knew not the treasure, and this propelled him into oblivion for decades. Within this nothingness, he discovered the one real thing necessary for surviving this human life. To be published April, 2012.

On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I am a serious writer of serious literature full of serious themes, ideas, and symbols--also big words. On Wednesdays and Fridays, I tend to write seriously about lighter subjects. Having written a children's chapter book and written and illustrated an inspirational picture book, I am exploring the potential of e-pulishing. I am currently attending Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida, where my professors encourage me to write seriously about serious and important ideas--also exploding coffins. They call my writing style "lively," which I suspect is another word for daffy.

That picture isn't me. It's my much-loved Border Collie bitch, who I lost to a spinal tumour in April 2011. She deserves this memorial. I was born a very, very long time ago, very close to my mother in England. Now I live in Wales, which isn't England but is part of the UK. I've written all sorts of stuff, but mostly science fiction. It's sort of believable sci-fi - maybe it can't happen today, but might tomorrow, you know? The sci-fi novels are all on the theme of 'first contact' and the first one is being given away free. You'll have to pay for the others. Sorry. I've got other novels, short stories and things that are supposed to be funny too but whether they are is your decision, right? Some of the books are based on real incidents - I know they are, because they happened to me. There are five in total, I've released two, two are being tidied up and the last one won't be finished for a while yet. If you read one, remember it all happened to me and that I don't mind being laughed at. I'm used to it. A while back I released a free book, 'Top Of The Shop'. (If you're a writer you might want to read it. I'll say no more.) I've since released another one, 'Tea, Drums And Speed'. So now the first sci-fi novel is free, 'Top Of The Shop' is free, and there's a free volume of short stories. I must be mad, giving this stuff away. Mind you, it hasn't stopped me giving away a book of political thoughts. If you're from Wales, or British, or even interested in Welsh politics, it might be worth reading. There's also a free book about some films that appeal to me. You might find it interesting but I thought it would be a bit cheeky to want money for it. Have it on me. There's one little thing I don't understand. Of everything I've put on this site, I think the stories in 'Swift Shifts' are the funniest, yet it's the title that's looked at least often. Why is that, do you think? After a gap of several months I've now added a new three-story volume of funny stories. To balance this, there's a thoroughly miserrable one on its way! A word or two about my pricing strategy might be worthwhile. A lot of people on this site (and I apologise if I've got this wrong) quote prices that are just a bit cheaper than you'd see in a bookstore. I don't do that. Ebooks don't have production or distribution costs, so why should you, the book buyer, have to pay even a tiny share of something that doesn't exist? Isn't it better to spend, say, $3 on three little books than on just one? I want you to enjoy what I've written, and at a realistic cost to you that I can live with. Simple, isn't it? I'll add to this from time to time - there's no point saying everything at once, is there? You'd have no need to come back, would you?
