About the Book
Did you know:
1. Lettuce can ruin your love life
2. Opera is best experienced after farm work
3. Twenty six year old men know nothing about women
These are some of the priceless life lessons the author learned the hard way by going through life's minor embarrassments. All the episodes recounted in the book resulted in tons of ego damage, especially the failed dates, but nobody died and everybody had a good laugh.
So if you get a kick out of somebody making a bit of a fool of themselves, and explaining it in good-humored and excruiciating detail, you'll find something to giggle about in this book. Like being sent to the swimming pool to swim in your underpants as a child. Having your hair fall off as you're talking to a beautiful Spanish woman. That kind of thing. Life.
About the Author
Born in Ireland in the seventies, moved to Dublin in the nineties and turned to writing as a way "to find myself". Boy, was I lost :) I found myself writing humorous stories about the silly things that happened to me in life, and shared them with friends. They seemed to like reading them, and I liked writing them, but maybe they were just being nice to me. Anyway, I started going to classes and taking it more seriously, mixing in some more literary stuff with the humorous "skits".
I've got ideas for a few books, but I'm also an IT head by profession and that's taking ninety percent of my focus. But the writer instinct still bubbles under the surface.
