My Books

 I have not written here for a while. Over the past six years or so I have put a lot of writing time into some books. They are all on Amazon and/or Kindle.

The first book, which the subject of was my first attempt at blogging- my wife's fatal illness. She was diagnosed with Multiple System Atrophy in 2005 and passed away from complications of MSA in 2011. I started a blog as an outlet for me and turned it into a book in 2018. It is now available as a Kindle e-book, an Amazon paperback, and an Audio book at either location. The title is: "Living With a Snow(wo)man". (just type in the title or J. Scott Poole or Dr. Scott Poole - both names are in Amazon.)

My second book is a compendium of my days selling on the road with tips and such for salespeople. It is entitled; "The World's Oldest Profession and how to excel at it" again by Dr. Scott Poole. It is available as a Kindle e-book or Amazon paperback.

The third and fourth books are compilations of my poetry and other musings. They are entitled: "Curmudgeon Rhapsody: or How Much Antarctic Ice is Made of Penguin Urine" and "Curmudgeon Rhapsody too: or How Much Poop Does a Human Produce in an Average Lifetime?" also by J Scott Poole or "THE" (an explanation of which is in the books)

The book published in June of 2025 is entitled: "VirPs: The Fight for Freedom" and is my first attempt at a story-type fiction book. It is a science fiction novella about the rise of sentient A.I. It too is available as a Kindle e-book, and Amazon paperback, or an audiobook on either platform.

I thank all of you that have purchased any of my books or read this blog. I would ask that any of you that can would write a review (especially if it is complementary!) as good reviews drive sales! I also am looking for input on the VirP books - should I continue the story?

Even more Questions

You may get this more if you read (or re-read) these older posts: "A Serious One" from 4/6/08 "Alphabet diseases" from 11/13/07 and "Questions" from 1/20/08 I am still trying to get answers to the Questions asked in the post above. I have not found any that are worthy of printing. I have come up with more questions: How does one handle seeing the continual decline of their spouse and not being able to do a thing about it? How do you take the inability of your 53 year old wife to get out of bed, or in and out of the shower unaided? How do you answer questions that beg not to be asked, like: will I see Bailey (our daughter, a rising senior)graduate; will Hannah (our granddaughter - almost 3) remember me; or will I see Landon (or grandson - 6 months) walk? How do you comfort your bride of 35+ years when she looks at you with tears streaming down her face? Most of all, how do you offer support and help when you are so damn mad at the world and the situa...

Late Night (early morning?) Thoughts

I was laying there trying to go to sleep last night (without much success, as I have a toothache), and my mind was wandering. I don't know about your mind, but when mine wanders....whoa! (just look at some earlier posts) So, I was thinking about George Washington (what...you don't think about our founding fathers when you are lying there trying to go to sleep?) and how he was called "the Father of our Country". I further thought that there is not a "Mother of our Country" (unless Martha gets it by default, but I don't think so). Then I started thinking about "family" or relationship nicknames. This is to be a participatory blog. I want you all to write back with the ones you think of that I missed. Here are the ones I thought of (I was up quite a while with my tooth!): Father of our Country, the Founding Fathers, Uncle Sam, Mother Earth, Mother Nature, Mother of all battles (or bombs), a priest is called - Father, a Mother Superior runs a conv...

Simple Pleasures

I am writing this on the morning of a departure. My wife and I are heading back home after the better part of a week in Florida. I had a business reason for coming, and with family here - she joined me. It is wonderful to see a daughter that we do not see nearly enough and to visit with a Mother/Mother-in-law as well. Yesterday between the day to day activities that must be done, I spent a large amount of time sitting in a lounge chair in a marvelous screened-in "porch" area of my Mother-in-Law's house. It was in the mid-70s to upper 70's while I was sitting, but with a fantastic cooling breeze most of the time, and a ceiling fan to fill in the lulls. The sky was a tropical blue with cottony clouds that cruised by with the lazy drift of a tube on a river. I was able to start and finish a novel yesterday by killing off the majority of it sitting in this splendor . I just wrote a comment on my sister's blog. This post is somewhat in response to myself for that com...
