Chapin's World (eBook, ePUB)

A Mid Amid

Beschreibung

Chapin's World is purely a figment of the author's warped imagination, so please don't report him to the authorities because there is nothing that can be done. He was born thinking like this. And, it was inevitable that his mind would be unleashed upon an unsuspecting public. Chapin's World, subtitled A Mid Amid is a book-of-life as seen through the green, 'mid-life' eyes of a member of a highly exploited (as of yet, unentitled) minority - redheads! It is a collection of humorous short stories of the author's early life, family camping-trip shenanigans, vacation pranks and mishaps, and how he grew to be 'mid' in America's Heartland. His light-hearted style allows the reader a chance to experience unpleasant circumstances with humor, and to tag along as he turns the most simple of situations into full-blown calamities. Chapin's narrative of his childhood reads like a tale by a modern day Samuel Clemens. The stories progress randomly through his life to include 'mid-- with -- kid.' Chapin's World will drag you along with Chapin, his family, and a few 'less-than role model' friends into, but not out of 'mid-life.' the author is determined to find your funny bone even if he has to use a chainsaw. A Mid Amid contains twenty-seven mildly amusing, yet wildly outrageous tales by the 'Master of Personal Disaster.' In case you are unaware of Chapin's writing style, he has used the formula of mixing equal, half-portions of wit and narrative. Chapin has now become quite distinguished for his 'half-wit' humor. But, such is Chapin's World. If you or a loved one is struggling through the 'mid-life' crisis (or if you just have the strange urge to help a confessed liar succeed) then Chapin's World - A Mid Amid is surely required reading.

Autor

John G. Chapin is best known for writing tall tales about his slow lane, mundane life. Chapin has a master's degree in communications, and has retired from a lifelong career as a Communication specialist (which, possibly, entailed masterful graffiti on the concrete walls of a highway overpass). He worked for over thirty-five years in the Broadcast Industry. More recently, as a broadcast consultant and college instructor. Lighthearted humor had always been a major part of Chapin's world, and he expounded on a calamity to the ridiculous stage. In case you were still unaware of Chapin's writing style, He had used the formula of mixing equal, half-portions of wit and narrative. Chapin has now become quite distinguished for his 'half-wit' humor. All that in hopes of entertaining you. Like Chapin's great grandfather, Sedley, who was an early-day columnist in Osborne County Kansas under the penname of Crosby, JC too has a talent for wit and clever phrases. (And, a knack for down-to-earth wisdom.) John Chapin has been married over forty-five years to Connie, a talented, published songwriter, and poet. Their two adult children are closet writers, who expressed thoughts of their own younger generation. Their son, Brad, is a published author in the field of psychology, international speaker, and creator of the Challenge Software Program. (Search: selfregulationstation.com.) Recently, John noticed that their daughter, Leah, has, unfortunately, displayed a warped sense of humor and may join his creative endeavors. Beware!
