    Working For The Lizard Nearly Killed Me: Tales About Love, Life and Death

    About this ebook

    This is the true story of a boy who grew up in a single parent household in the suburbs of Buffalo, New York. He survived two dismal marriages, one involving knives and suicide threats and the other involving a professional hockey goon.

    Just when you think it can't get any worse, his father died of lung cancer and less than a year later he was diagnosed with thyroid cancer.

    Follow his life from childhood through adulthood, read the stories of love, sex, religion, see the inner workings of one of America's largest insurance companies and the games they play with people's lives. See how politics and circumcision tore his once close knit family apart.

    Funny, sad and sometimes downright nasty, this is a story you will want to read in one sitting.

    Contains explicit sex, religious and political condemnation and detailed descriptions of going under the knife.
