Dammit Bre!

by Samuel Rikard

A large majority of our population is raised by single parents these days. In this book, you'll find a collection of short stories from my life as a single parent. I explore the highlights of raising a child, both good and bad. I cover the joys of parenthood, the exhaustion of keeping a semi-clean house, trying to date, and interacting with public schools and other entities that seem to believe they know what's better for my child than me. This book is packed full of emotion. Step into the pages and relive your favorite moment through someone else's perspective. You're guaranteed to laugh, and quite possible cry. These stories cover the first nine years of my life as a parent. Perhaps you can learn something from them. Or maybe it'll make you think twice before becoming a parent yourself. Either way you should do yourself a favor and have a look.

About the author

From an early age, Samuel Rikard was drawn to the realm of fantasy. Monsters and magic, or starships and warlords, there was nothing too far fetched or out of reach. In his early teens he was introduced to Live Action Role Play. Finding this new and exciting world, he felt at home. Before long he began writing, first details about his characters, then short stories or in-game missives, he developed a style. After high school he joined the military, where he trained exclusively with demolitions. Realizing that wasn't the life for him, he came home and began the quest for happiness. With his love of story line, he decided to write a book. Through chance, fate, happenstance, whatever you want to call it, he made some professional contacts and began to learn about the industry. Proving his dedication, and his ability to learn, he was offered a contract. One turned into two, and two became three. Before long, he had a full list of industry professionals. When working with reputation, he's know as the man to get things done. When he's not writing, he's working as a mechanic and raising his daughter, Breanna. They live in Southwest Missouri with their cat, Andronus. You can find his books and list of appearances on his website, www.samuelrikard.com

Not all that entertaining

Nothing really stand out about any of the anecdotes. Basic stuff without any really entertainment value in my opinion. Suggest a pass
