Description
My life was forever changed the moment that pregnancy test was slammed down in front of me. That was the day I became a father. Every day afterward has been a challenge. But it's all been worth it.
In this collection of comedic, truthful, and sometimes tear-jerking anecdotes, I write about the struggles of head lice, the first unscheduled haircut, followed immediately by the first scheduled haircut, excessive demands of ice cream, and so much more.
Whether it's unique methods of managing unruly hair or the uncanny lengths a father will go in order to protect his little girl, these stories do not disappoint.
I wrote this book with the parent in mind. I know how limited time can be. For that reason, each story is self-contained and takes a few minutes to read. It's perfect for those few moments when you're able to hide in the pantry, or find yourself on the toilet without an audience. You'll have more than enough time to enjoy at least one story before the kids start beating down the door.
This humorous parenting book is unlike any other. Be sure to purchase your copy today. Maybe it'll provide some much-needed insight the next time your kids declare war on your sanity! And if you like it, reviews are greatly appreciated.

Person
From an early age, Samuel Rikard was drawn to the realm of fantasy. Monsters and magic, or starships and warlords, there was nothing too farfetched 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. Developing his style, he found a joy for the craft but never realized it would one day become a career.
After high school, he joined the military, where he trained exclusively with demolitions. While blowing stuff up was fun, it wasn't the life he was after. When able he returned home and began the quest for happiness.
With his love of storyline, he decided to write a book, though he knew nothing of the craft. Through chance, fate, happenstance, whatever you want to call it, he made some professional contacts and began to learn the industry. Proving his dedication and ability to get things done, he was offered a contract. One turned into two, and two became three. And before long he had a full list of industry professionals at his side.
Sam lives with his daughter, Breanna, and their cat, Alona.
