A Christmas Gift Book for Those Who Loved the Movie A Christmas Story - A Special Offer

Dec. 2, 2011 - PRLog -- For nearly a decade Steve Pitt has been amusing his fellow writers with his off-beat postings on professional writer list-servs. His subjects include everyday topics like friends, 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. Many of these list-serv yarns have gone on to find publication in Canadian Living, Chatelaine, Toronto Life, Stitches, Canadian Health and the Globe and Mail. Here is what other writers are saying about Steve Pitt's writing:

"These true life tales range from the gently picaresque to the wildly funny. Leacock Redux" William Deverell, award winning crime novelist, Pender Island BC

"He's pee-your-pants funny. This book should come with a warning label or pack of adult diapers"  Helena Katz, author/journalist, Fort Smith, NWT

"He surfaces with novel insights and bust-a-gut laughs every time. Steve Pitt is an expert storyteller, both wickedly funny and deeply generous - ­ a master of observational humour with heart."  Joanne Carnegie, Professional Writers Association of Canada member, Montreal

Norm Goldman on Bookpleasures.com said "Combining witty humor with the absurd, Pitt reminds us that having a good sense of humor enables us to tolerate and sometimes triumph over some annoying and even terrible events that befall us from time-to-time during our life."

The Midwest Book Review said "His stories are unique and offbeat, and also questionably true, as he brings a blend of reality and thought for a truly unique compilation. "My Life and Other Lies" is a read that will entertain for many an hour."
