Follow on Google News | Wickedly Funny Stories From a Man Who is Still Waiting for his Name to Became a Social Disease.In My Life and Other Lies: Tales from the Writer's List Steve Pitt has created a collection of stories that are amusing, poignant and sometimes embarrassingly funny.
Steve Pitt has been a professional writer for more than thirty years. For the past decade he has been amusing his fellow writers with his off-beat postings on professional writer list-servs. His subjects include topics like his strange friends, his stranger family and his numerous side careers as militia soldier, movie extra, armored truck guard, resort cook, and stay-at-home dad. His fellow writers have compared Steve's humour to Bob Newhart, David Sedaris and Stephen Leacock. In his latest review on Blog Critics, the reviewer said "(t)he writing is reminiscent of other notable (mainly American) raconteurs, although there is a distinctly Canadian perspective that adds a certain sense of the foreign and exotic to this collection of worldly observations — or would, if Canada was considered foreign and escargot was considered exotic.” Amazon reviews (all five star) state "His ability to shape words and expressions is masterful. The stories will stick you with but you'll want to read them again, and share with friends." "These true life tales range from the gently picaresque to the wildly funny. Leacock Redux" “Steve Pitt is an expert storyteller, both wickedly funny and deeply generous a master of observational humour with heart." And "Steve Pitt is a truly gifted humour writer, the kind who comes along only once in a generation, perhaps once in a century. This book is a must-have for anyone!" # # # A publisher of quality books distributed by Ingram. List includes the mysteries of David Laing Dawson as well as The Original Reigning Cats and Dogs, The Dysfunctional Father's Guide and Schizophrenia: End
