A wry blend of hilarity, fantasy and everyday life, educator Matt West’s writing captures the subtle and not-so subtle
humor in the life of a Southern family man. His unique view of ordinary and imagined events leaves the reader either laughing out loud or with a new and amusing insight into daily life.

His short, often self-deprecating anecdotes will strike a familiar chord in his audience, although some might think to
themselves, I just wouldn’t have told that one. The book leaves the reader wanting more of these somewhat twisted but entertaining musings.

‘This book will give you a look inside the mind of a comedy writer.
If the author wanted to do stand-up comedy, he already has all
the material he needs inside his head. Couldn’t stop reading this
book–except when I was laughing so hard I had to put it down.
