Earlier this year, I brought out my book on schizophrenia and turned to publishing. In addition to that book published by my company, Bridgeross Communications, I am bringing out two novels by David Laing Dawson, a humor book on parenting and a reissue of the expanded pet book to be called THE ORIGINAL REIGNING CATS AND DOGS: A HUMOROUS LOOK AT PETS AND THEIR OWNERS ...more

Father's Day

For the new or expecting dad (or even the experienced dad), I would like to recommend The Dysfunctional Father's Guide to Pregnancy, Birth and Babies.

This very funny book has been getting great reviews from all over. It was also just listed by The Examiner as one of the top baby shower gift parenting books at http://tinyurl.com/nssjbf
