    About this ebook

    This is an ebook of 18 humorous stories and poems. Six of these are sprinkled among the "If You Like To Laugh" volumes, but it may be worth it to download "Aliens, Cannibals, and Witches" just to understand the all-consuming love of Maddie in "I love Lucy" or the twisted seductions of the German legend "Lorelei". "A Giant Spaceship In Ohio" revisits a true-life incident. "The Ship That Sailed When Ice Was Warm" details the great wisdom of a famous starship captain. The favorite alien of Sicilians, Romans, and Napolitans appears here. There is also a song meant for the late Johnny Cash: a man cries out from Death Row, "All I Did Was Throw Some Water". There is that alien traveler whose picture fans across the Internet each time Halloween nears. But if you would rather avoid "Aliens, Cannibals, and Witches", there advice in "Nelly, Don't Use The Word Call".

    I am always happy when a reader takes an interest in one of my ebooks. There's millions of choices for the discerning searcher so it's somewhat of a miracle when someone even previews something that I have written. To date, my most popular ebooks have been "The Death Of Medicine", about a surgeon called 'The Savior Of Mothers' (his techniques are now being used to combat a possible mega-epidemic called 'CRE'); a short story that is an homage to The Twilight Zone ("11/11/11")and accurately presaged the current American political situation; a short story about the pilgrimage of a real-life Russian idealist entitled "Why The Russian Language May Be A Clever Hoax"; and a series of humor books, the "If You Like to Laugh" volumes. I also write children's books and children's comedy. I try to keep my humor clean and free from cruelty but, above all, very funny. "The Monsters That Were Afraid Of Children" and "The Dog Who Cried Woof" are my two most popular children's stories but I believe there are some undiscovered gems in my children's catalogue. Finally, I also write satirical pieces, such as "Canada died?", which reflects on my thoughts after I recently found one of those 'Canada. 1867-2008' in-memoriam nickels among my change. (Save those coins--they'll be worth a fortune some day) and the Rocky the Rock life-lessons series. I hope you enjoy all my books and stories. Sincerely, Piso Mojado
