Humorous Fiction

I've always believed that humor can be funny. To prove it, I wrote the two books described below. They can be found on Amazon sites in the USA, Canada, UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Japan. Several excerpts from each book are waiting for you at the publisher's site, Zero Pillow Press.
