Rudolf Kerkhoven has been writing novels that range from serious to silly ever since he had hair. He lives with his wife and two children in the Vancouver area of British Columbia where he teaches secondary school mathematics—a pleasant sweet & salty contrast to his creative writing.

His best selling book is The Most Boring Book Ever Written (with Daniel Pitts), which somehow seems appropriate.

I'm glad you liked it--there has been quite a variety of reactions to it from people. If you have the time to write a short review of it at Amazon, that would be great. Each review really helps.

And I hope you enjoy the choose-your-own-adventure books, even though they are, admittedly, extremely stupid. I guess that's my sense of humour.

I enjoyed how "The Year We Solved Everything" went. I grabbed it for free off Amazon then started reading. 7 hours later I felt better for reading the book.

Then I bought those two choose your own adventure books you co-authored.
