    About this ebook

    "Parham has done it again...'Chariots' is another smash in a long list of dangerously funny books" -- Author McKendree Long.

    Humorist Barry Parham is back, taking aim at social media, marketing, politics, and other human shortcomings.

    Barry Parham is the award-winning author of humor columns, essays and short stories. He is a recovering software freelancer and a music fanatic.

    Parham is the author of the 2009 sleeper, "Why I Hate Straws," his debut collection of humor and satire including the award-winning stories, 'Going Green, Seeing Red' & 'Driving Miss Conception.'

    In October 2010, Parham published "Sorry, We Can't Use Funny," another award-winning collection of general-topic satire and humor, and the more targeted "Blush: Politics and other unnatural acts." He followed up in 2011 with "The Middle-Age of Aquarius," a growing-old-but-not-so-gracefully vehicle for the award-winners 'Comfortably Dumb,' 'Snowblind' and 'The Zodiac Buzz-Killer.'

    "Full Frontal Stupidity" (2012), Parham's 5th collection of humor, satire and observations, features more award-winning stories, including 'Skirts vs. Skins' and 'Scenes From a Maul.'

    Most recently, his work appeared in three national humor anthologies:
    "My Funny Valentine" (2011)
    "Open Doors: Fractured Fairy Tales" (2012)
    "My Funny Major Medical" (2012)
