What do you get when you cross a radio talk show host, a sports broadcaster, an investigative reporter, a magazine publisher, and a private investigator?

How about 50 outrageous, ridiculous, and true short stories designed to flip any bad mood - into a good mood!

They say, "laughter is the best therapy for any number of ills."

From my time as a professional hockey announcer, radio talk show host, investigative crime reporter, and magazine publisher, and as a private investigator, in addition to having a litany of family members and friends with outlandish tales of their own, I present Bad Mood/Good Mood, the first in what I hope to become an annual publishing event.

This book has 50 “quick read/short story” chapters that detail the funniest events and incidents that either I, my friends, or my family have ever participated in or have witnessed or conspired to produce. This book is 90 percent PG-13 and 10 percent R-rated and can get a little risqué, but it’s not overboard.

It is my intent to publish a new book with 50 chapters every year, with participation of you, the listeners, who have stories of your own and can be submitted by email to me.

The complete and sole intent of this book is to serve as a baseline “go to” whenever you’re in a bad mood - and to turn that bad mood into a better, if not good, mood.

I challenge you to pick this book up, listen to a story or three or more, and not be in a better mood when you set the book down.

I’m not a doctor, psychiatrist, psychologist, therapist, priest, or anyone else educated or sanctioned or commissioned to solve whatever ails you. All I can do is bring some laughter to your life.

What you are about to hear really happened, because God only knows I can’t make this stuff up!

Happy listening!
