More Fun than a Book (Almost)

For now, you will find just a few things on this page. You may not find any of them fun. But compared to, say, an analysis of my writing process, these things count as "Fun Stuff."

These fun(ish) things are:

Dumb Jokes

Let's start here, with the funnest of my fun stuff. Keep in mind that these are not my jokes. I did not make them up. So don't blame me if you don't like them.

Phobia Fun Stuff

Here you'll find snazzy descriptions of several phobias and a quiz to see if you're paying attention. (From my Walking Backward research.)

Ancient Egypt Fun Stuff

Here you'll find info on ancient Egyptian gods and goddesses. (From my My Cat Isis research.)

Survival Tips

Here you'll find chipper tips on surviving zombie attacks, desert adventures, deadly tornadoes, and winter wilderness wanderings. Plus grade six.

First Chapters of Novels

Here you'll find links to .pdf files you can download or read online to see which of my novels grabs you. (Or skip that page and just click on a following title to read the first chapter of Walking Backward, 26 Tips for Surviving Grade 6, or All Good Children.)
