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?

Fame is Fleeting and some bug stuff

Well I am writing this from the scene of one of my latest moments of glory - the Comfort Suites in Colonial Heights, Va. For those of you that do not take notes of all my achievements - that was the hotel where I was (drum roll please - ) Guest of the Day about a month ago. I drove up (and parked in the Platinum Elite member space - I might add) gathered my goodies and headed in. I thought of pulling a hat down over my head and putting my collar up to hide from the photographers and autograph fans, but I had no hat and the crowds just were not really a problem. I ambled to the front desk and it was the same girl! Surely here the recognition would reign! But as I approached her I glanced to the reader board - the same reader board that not so long ago was praising me as Guest of the Day! I staggered a bit under the realization that there was another name on MY sign! Then it hit me - Guest of the Day! I had lived my glorious 24 hours and now it was time to move on. OH WOE IS ME. I curse ...

A Three Hour Tour, or, Perchance to drown

Imagine you and your spouse, or significant other, are on a nice boat ride called life. You are on this inconceivably large boat in a sea of unimaginable size on a trip of indeterminate length. Once in a while, you go through some beautiful. almost indescribable days where birds sing, wonderful angelic music accompanies you in your daily activities , and everything you want is there before you. Then there are the dark and stormy days where all you can do is hold on to the rail and upchuck your lunch into the water. Most of the days, however, are just a boat ride. One day your spouse falls overboard, fully clothed, and for no apparent reason. You quickly toss them a line, and say"hold on, I'll get you out!" There is no reason to panic, people fall into the water all the time. Plus, they are a fairly strong swimmer, we will get them out. So, you start pulling on the rope. After pulling and pulling you notice they are not any closer to the boat. You decide you need help....
