The author, being a top engineer/sales man for forty year was, out
of necessity, a dedicated phone user. When he moved to Florida, he
worked for a further two years before deciding to take an early
retirement.
His ability to grasp the weirdness of today's sometimes wacky life
experiences, with all its oddities, and then turn them into amusing
anecdotes is, to say the least, a true gift. He has gleaned more
zany observations in this, his latest book, and hopes that he is
able to impart, to the reader, his curious and sometimes wild
visions. The slanted use, of the English language, also provides
some adaptations to give the reader an opportunity to explore its
convoluted use of actions, sayings and views. Humor is extremely
subjective and thus some people will not see the funny side of all
his deep thoughts and off beat descriptions. Do not be offended by
any of these twisted tales as they were merely devised with the
single hope of attempting to encourage thinking and amusement for
the reader. Therefore, no harm is ever meant or intended. The
author assures that, with his range of experiences, each reader
will get an ample share of his off -the-cuff satire so dig in and
let the good times roll.

The Author's Upbringing. Unusual Wildlife Encounters is a complete
diversion from the earlier six books that Clarke has written.These
colorful anecdotes are a breath of fresh air in an otherwise
complicated world filled with forebodings of gloom and doom. This
lighthearted romp through natural wildlife encounters will bring
the readers back to earth with a clearer appreciation of the true
world which we all live in. Clarke does not take for granted the
raw and beautiful world around us and it is his hope that these
written experiences will also bring the readers to this
realization. In this busy world that we all live in he recommends
that we literally take time to smell the roses along the way. This
book will assist in this matter and hopefully leave the reader in a
more relaxed frame of mind. The bounties of nature are wonderful
and seemingly endless.
This book, Clarke's fifth, is another gem of laughable events and
is riddled with hilarious anecdotes and stranger than true stories.

of Wales is encapsulated in colorful detailed stories. The
described events of his life span a time period of some sixty odd
years and include boyhood memories and all the way up to present
times. He tells about historic places, from off the beaten track to
famous and exotic places and allows the reader to see these
locations and the related incidents through his eyes. If you are
not able to travel, or perhaps do not know how to find these rare
sites, let Clarke be your guide as he will tell in detail what you
will find at the end of the journey. The author has also expresses
his opinion on some matters, which have puzzled him for some time
past and for this he makes no apology. All the troubles of the
world will disappear when you decide to engross yourself in the
larger that life occurrences which are meticulously catalogued in
this book because you will be over awed with the excitement of
these annals.
A selection of stories depicting the authors travels and
interesting people that he meets along the way. This romp is easy
to read with many twists and turns. How two Rod Stewarts could end
up in one place at the same time must be discovered. How anyone can
drink a tropical fish from his beer must also be read to be
appreciated.
Memoirs is a collection of amusing tales told to the reader as only
a true raconteur can. Born in Pontypool, where men are men sheep
are nervous, and rugby rules the valleys.
Reflections continues in the same vein as Clarke's previous two
books Memoirs and Ramblings. Funny and audacious it contains
colorful stories of his carefree life style and the famous and
unusual people who he met along the way. To say that he led a full
life is an under statement. Clarke tells the stories in his own
distinct style which adds to the enjoyment of yet another
interesting biography. This is not so much the story of his life
but is a series of stories about happenings in his life. These all
add up to make this sequel a light and easy read with a goodly sum
of chuckles along the way.A must read if amusement is your goal.
"Ramblings of a Welshman," Lyn Clarke's follow-up to "Memoirs of a
Welshman" is just as funny, heartfelt and audacious as the
original. "Ramblings..." contains colorful stories about such
topics as the famous people he has met, insight to his family
history, and his often exciting and care free lifestyle. To say he
has had a full life is an understatement. With a writing style much
like Irish writer, Frank McCourt, Lyn tells his story not from
beginning to end, but by subject making his memoir an extremely
interesting read. Now, his story can be shared with you. "Ramblings
of a Welshman" is guaranteed to make you look at memoirs in a
completely new light.
The workbook for HOW 14 reinforces the major principles contained
