Book Signing & Readings from local author Tom Cooper's latest release 'A Time to Laugh: The Comic Misadventures of a Seriously Curious Mind'

Just to get you up to speed, our hero, by the end of Volume 4 has gone through literally dozens of self-inflicted misadventures.

What keeps me coming back to write story after story about him sure as heck isn’t because he’s in any way your normal, next-door, kind of fellow. In fact, he’s probably the most unlikely man you’ll ever know.

He’s expressive, vulnerable, emotional, enthusiastic, and almost childishly eager to try just about anything to satisfy his curiosity.

His world isn’t limited by what guys should do or even think about doing and now, in his retirement years, he’s as eager as an eight-week-old puppy to go down ridiculous paths of self-discovery.

He's sure as heck not a glass-half full kind of guy and probably not a glass-half-empty kind either. He’s honestly more like the glass-overflowing kind with maybe just a pinch of the delusional for good measure.

The books are absolutely for women who want to know more about the humorously hidden side of guys. I’m telling you now, I wrote them just for women. Ok so maybe not just for women.

They might just might, also be of interest to those fun-loving, risk-taking guys who dare, to laugh at me, at themselves, or maybe just laugh.
