Like my first literary attempt, "The Joke's On Me," this book is primarily a collection of editorials and letters to the editor of the local newspaper along with running commentary and some attempted justification for the foolishness. The first book would not exist if it hadn't been for the insistence of several people that all this should be in a book. Most of the letters to the editor in this first section were written under the guise of the Greater Sycamore Valley Chamber of Commerce, an entity which exists only in the minds of its readers.

Like my first literary attempt, "The Joke's On Me," this book is primarily a collection of editorials and letters to the editor of the local newspaper along with running commentary and some attempted justification for the foolishness. The first book would not exist if it hadn't been for the insistence of several people that all this should be in a book. Most of the letters to the editor in this first section were written under the guise of the Greater Sycamore Valley Chamber of Commerce, an entity which exists only in the minds of its readers. Some of the letters were just personal reflections on the situation of the day. Some of the letters may seem terribly redundant, but I never was one to pass up an opportunity to tell the same joke twice. The second, and most important part of this book contains Sunday Guest Editorials which I have written for publication in the local newspaper. These editorials deal with issues of a religious nature and were written in the hope that they would stimulate readers to contemplate their own relationship with the One who spoke and all things came into existence.
Autorenporträt
"This Time the Joke's On You" is a sequel to the author's first book (2007), "The Joke's On Me and Other Stuff I Have Written." As with the first book, you will find this edition also contains a compilation of the author's letters to the editor and Sunday Guest Editorials which have appeared in the Independence (Kansas) Daily Reporter. The first section of the book deals with letters to the editor that are, for the most part, tongue-in-cheek jabs at the crazy world we live in. The majority of the letters are written under the satirical and totally fictitious "Greater Sycamore Valley Chamber of Commerce." The latter part of the book contains Sunday Guest Editorials dealing with a wide variety of religious topics and everyone's need to seek out and find God. The author, Charles Rice, is known to many in the area as "Sir Charles." His quick wit and keen sense of the absurd have garnered a large following in Southeast Kansas. Charles and his wife, Meredith, own and manage a sign shop and locksmith business out of their home near Sycamore, Kansas. Charles also pastors the Bethel Church of God in Neodesha, Kansas. Charles and Meredith also do a monthly television program as part of the Gospel Hour which is seen on the local cable network. This is the fourth work produced by the author. His first book, "The Joke's On Me and Other Stuff I Have Written," was published by Wordclay. His second book, "The Stones of Decision," also published by Wordclay, deals with the stones that were part of the breast plate of Aaron the High Priest of Israel. "When The Walls Came Tumbling Down," also published by Exlibris, relates the author's life-long love affair with waterfowl hunting.
