What authors, or books have influenced you?Īs I mentioned above, “The Legend of Decimus Croome: A Halloween Carol” by Kevin Purdy has been a big influence.

I was inspired by the classic Halloween book “The Legend of Decimus Croome: A Halloween Carol.” When I discovered the book was both spooky and hilarious, I realized that Halloween can provide a gold mine of hilarious jokes and stories. My latest book is “Dad Jokes: Halloween Gift Book.” I’m not sure why I waited until recently to publish a Halloween joke book since Halloween has always been one of my favorite holidays.
