Possible dialogue? Humor? Silly?

I thought these were some funny things I've heard.  You can decide for yourself.  You might think, "this guy has the lamest sense of humor in the world!"

3 More Authors Worth Checking Out



Books by George Geisinger: 

Sorting out one's thoughts in a day of extreme mental confusion.  This short story covers the history of man who had to fight his fight against, drug abuse, brain chemistry issues along with coming of age in the era of Woodstock. Poignant and concise reporting about surviving personal turmoil and being brave enough to record its effects on his soul. The man has taken away something meaningful about the sixties as he still has a spirit of giving. I would also read his other works as guide for showing how it is necessary for the careful watch on one's rebellious teenager and the effects of drugs.http://www.amazon.com/Scatter-Brains-ebook/dp/B0075ZU1B6/ref=pd_sim_sbs_kstore_5?ie=UTF8&m=AG56TWVU5XWC2





Books by Elena DeRosa:

Marie's peaceful life in Virginia is shattered the moment she receives word from her brother: “I just got a call from a detective. Daddy’s dead.” Rushing to her family home in Brooklyn, New York, Marie seeks answers to her father’s mysterious death only to discover disturbing occurrences and encounter acts of betrayal. After her questions are amplified and suspicions confirmed surrounding her father’s ex-girlfriend, Marie becomes frustrated by how oblivious so many had been, and continue to be, to the wily con-artist.Inheriting her father’s scheming ex-girlfriend becomes a journey Marie never imagined she’d be forced to travel. Written as memoir, “Fractured Facade” is a cautionary tale for anyone concerned about a parent after the loss of their spouse. The survivor, often thrust into an unfamiliar world, finds it quite different from the dating scene of their youth; one where some create facades to mask their true intentions. Sadly, loneliness can cause an otherwise intelligent person to behave foolishly.“Fractured Facade” is the tale of a father’s death, a daughter’s life, and a sociopath’s vendetta.http://www.amazon.com/Fractured-Facade-ebook/dp/B005RFUU2Q/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1335391838&sr=1-1





Books by Rick Carufel: While performing research for a master's thesis at Brown University, Brian Metcalf finds more than darkness behind closed eyelids. Astral realms intent upon unleashing unspeakable evil attempt to use him as a pawn in their struggle to open a portal to this world. It's happened before to others. Friedrich Nietzsche wrote, "If you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you. Whoever battles monsters had better see that it does not turn him into a monster." Novella 18049 words http://www.amazon.com/Phospheindz-ebook/dp/B005A7ABOS/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1335391985&sr=1-1

Editing my second book in the SOTF series - The Closest Enemy

I've started editing the second in the SOTF series, and I'm quite pleased with what I'm reading. Of course there are over 3million typos, the story tends to stray, the characters are not consistent, and a few times I've shifted dialogue so fast I don't even know who's saying what...but other than that, I really did a good job. LOL



At least I laugh and don't break into sobbing.
