2013 INDIE BOOK AWARDS FINALIST - HUMOR This is a memoir detailing one man's serendipitous journey from bachelorhood to parenthood. After his latest girlfriend becomes his wife, and his wife becomes pregnant, Tom Bell finds himself a first time father at nearly 50 years old. Over the years, he has shown only a passing interest in his nieces and nephews, and has never touched someone else's poo. Now, with an eight month-old baby and two toddlers, he wracks his brain daily for any useful cross-over skills accumulated from a half-century of single life. MY DAD IS A FREAK is the conclusion that each of his children will inevitably arrive at, in their own good time, despite his best intentions.
