With more reflections on life from his "Beach Slapped" newspaper column, hes at it again: The discussions between his pregnant wife and allegedly-sympathetic women ("What else explains the endless discussion about whats about to emerge from her: Watermelons, bowling balls, Black & Decker tool sets, you name it. And as long as the sentence ends with ... its like that scene in "Alien, they seem pleased that they could share this amusing little anecdote."); his daughters arrival into the rainy world of the Oregon coast ("Its a moist, dark and quiet kind of place; pretty much a womb with a view."); and other peoples ongoing need to make him a better person ("This is national Turn Off Your TV Week, something I first heard about on TV, thus highlighting why this is the dumbest thing on Earth.") Its another year of impending fatherhood, babies flooding into the world - literally - and all the other things that will leave readers "Beach Slapped" as Barton once again gives readers 52 reasons to laugh out loud. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Author Biography Barton Grover Howe resides in the only small town on the Oregon coast that has seven miles of coastline and not one boat dock. A high school teacher, his students dont find him near as funny as he thinks they should - much like their parents, who use teacher conferences to tell him they have no idea what hes talking about half the time in his weekly humor column. On the plus side, he is married to the most patient woman on Earth and is father to the cutest daughter in the universe, who got all of her looks from her mother. In addition to writing a weekly humor column, Barton is also an Amazon Top 10 best-selling novelist, bringing his weird sense of humor to tell the stories of Surfland, Oregon. The fictional home for the wet and weird, his first novel, "Beach Slapped" takes readers on an adventure thats been called by reviewers a "well written, tightly plotted romp." "Move over Carl Hiaasen, Tim Dorsey, Dave Barry and all the other Florida humor satire writers. Theres a new voice and a very accomplished one... Howe does for the Oregon Coast what Hiaasen and the others have done for Florida."
