- About Me
I taught high school math for eight years and then entered the business world, most of the time as a software consultant. After retiring in 2001 after twenty-five years in that rat race, I resumed my third career as a writer, which is chronicled in my March 2008 book, "I Don’t Want To Be a Pirate – Writer, maybe," highly recommended by Midwest Book Review. My 2007 book and Indie Excellence 2007 Finalist, "This Page Intentionally Left Blank – Just Like the Paychecks of the Workers," justifies increasing the minimum wage to $15 an hour – a bit more than what the incompetent, overpaid Congress approved a few months ago – as well as lowering the hours in the workweek to 30. I have written "The Read My Lips Cookbook: A Culinary Journey of Memorable Meals," a novel about the national lottery, "Don't bet On It," another book on work, "Tick Tock, Don't Stop: A Manual for Workaholics," as well as "for seeing eye dogs only,” a humorous look at missing intelligence that was a 2005 Foreword Magazine Finalist. Each has gotten excellent reviews, which you can find at the website I designed and maintain, WWW.BOBCOOKS.COM, described by another writer as a goldmine. My latest book is about language, laughter and lunacy, "here's your free gift - send $10 for shipping." It followed "wake up - it's time for your sleeping pill," "Take Back the Earth - The Dumb, Greedy Incompetents Have Trashed It," Press 1 for Pig Latin” (a book on the failure of technology) and "This War Won't Cost Much - I'm Already Against the Next One." Six of these books were published in 2008 and the last five books are available as free downloads from my web site. I live in Buffalo, New York and cause trouble for people who act unethically
