Cougars, Cookies and Construction
Hey !
Yes, you.
I bet you didn't see me up here but you can bet I saw you. No one looks up anymore. Always looking at their phones or their feet or the back of the person they are stalking.
There's a whole different world you see from the rooftops that no one ever thinks about. You can see things no one realizes. Like people fighting trees. Or flying sex toys. Or cougars on the prowl. Baseball games and peanut butter cookies.
Take a look inside. There's a whole new world when you see the things I see up here.

It's like Reader's Digest Laughter is the Best Medicine and Penthouse Letters had a baby, and Paul Harvey and Shit My Dad Says were the godparents. At times very funny, at other times quite poignant, and really well written all the way through. It's a unique point of view; often it was like sitting around with my blue collar brother over a beer or two, telling stories. Quite enjoyable!

Definitely a good read!! Funny, sultry, and an adrenaline rush in parts!
Easy to envision the story unfold in your head as you read!
Definitely a must read if you like erotica, with a twist of humor!

There is a lot I could say about this book and its author. I could talk about raunchy humor, Jack's endless battles with Mother Nature, his side-splitting anecdotes as he struggles to maintain control of his work crew, his bodily functions, or the integrity of his trousers. But none of those things would touch on the true beauty of his writing.
Jack sees more than flying dildos and French strippers from his perch above the world. He sees humanity in all its guises. Beyond that, he shows us more than just his edgy humor and serious bad luck with public restrooms. His stories prove that even a sweaty, average guy with a tool belt can be a hero. From his compassionate acceptance of baked goods from a hoarder customer without the side order of judgment, to the tender homage he pays to his father, Jack gives us a glimpse into his soul.
Yes he is funny. Painfully so at times. But he is also an astute observer with a razor sharp intellect. He dispenses wisdom as effortlessly as he does the F-word. He shares his heart as freely as he does his naked body with total strangers. He holds nothing back.
Will this book make you laugh until you make embarrassing noises in public? Yes. Will you find your view of the world slightly different once you see things from Jack's unique perspective? Absolutely yes.
These facts should not surprise you. But what may surprise is that between the cleavage and shingles, the last square of toilet paper and the profanity, a truly talented writer has been unleashed.
I can't wait to see what Jack sees next.

Cougars, Cookies and ConstructionCougars, Cookies and Construction is written by one of my very favorite WP blogger buddies, Jack Chaser from 'The Things I See Up Here'.
I married into a family of contractors, so Jack’s blog has been a constant source of entertainment for me and The Dark Defender. Now we have an entire book filled with seventeen years worth of on the job shenanigans! Read at your own risk – most of these stories could cause you to fall onto the floor laughing, or break a rib trying NOT to laugh in the middle of the night. But… amid the tales of dildo wars & bathroom emergencies are heartwarming insights into human nature – kindness, friendship, family, and A Legacy of Heroes.

Genius concept! and hilariously executed...this guy writes the thoughts you would actually have, but can't admit out loud! Hours of laughs, please don't take to the airport, people will start staring.

I laughed a few times, but found most of the stories in this book boring and sophomoric.
