ASJA Press, 2006

A witty little book

I flew with Kevin Garrison over his 27 year airline career. He is one of the most creative people I know and I would recommend this book to anyone. The humor and pilot references in this book should appeal to the 20,000 hour veteran as well as the student pilot and the general public. For ...

Jim Mullen has written an hysterically funny, insightful book that is a must read for those wavering between living in the City or living in the country.

Fresh Earthworms Taste Green (The Early Years)
Roger Huff

iUniverse, Inc., 2005

Fresh Earthworms Taste Green is NOT another typically dull autobiography, and should completely dispel notions that growing up in mid-America during the 1950s was boring, uneventful, or not as much fun as it is these days. Anybody who has ever been a kid will find Fresh Earthworms Taste Green to be entertaining and perhaps even a little reminiscent of days of his or her own youth. Author ...

OMG this book is SO hilarious!

Be prepared to be unable to stop laughing! The title story was my favorite, tied with "Litter String" (which is one of several stories written from the POV of Babycakes the cat). I can't wait to read more by this fantastic writer!

Bustin' Chops
Gary O'Callaghan

iUniverse, Inc., 2004

Some children seem born with a preordained talent for mischief. In most cases, it is neither mean spirited nor evil, but just plain childish trouble making. Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn excelled at this type of behavior. With advancing age, one can use previous experience to fine tune a more premeditated type of mischief. The end result is a greater sense of self-gratification. Graduating from ...

Paula's book was great!

I bought Paula's book on CD. What could be better than listening to Paula's book being read by Paula? Paula is funny and always entertaining. I can highly recommend buying the book on CD. I can also honestly say I didn't read the book because she read it for me. It doesn't get any better!
