About the Book

"TWINS. It's the kind of word that only ever happens to somebody else." This is the kind of dry humour that characterizes "Gingers & Wry," an autobiographical account of a stay@home Dad of tenacious toddler twin boys. Join the author as he finds the humour in situations that would make the Dalai Lama scream out in anger. You'll never see the world the same once you've seen it through Dwayne's eyes. "Gingers and Wry" is frequently hilarious, occasionally poignant, and consistently honest-sometimes, brutally so. This book is a collection of quips and comments, originally posted online, threaded together by a narrative that describes four years in the author's life as he moves from being laid off and into his new role as a stay@home Dad for twin boys. It humorously documents the challenges and rewards of raising two tenacious toddlers and an opinionated teen-aged daughter, all of them redheads.
About the Author: Writer and watercolour artist Dwayne James lives outside of Lakefield, Ontario where he writes and paints as often as he can, that is when he's not spending time with his very forgiving family. Dwayne studied archaeology in University, and as a result learned how to write creatively. "The most important skill I learned in University," he says, "was the ability to pretentiously write about myself in the third person." With no formal art training, Dwayne has always preferred the self-guided, experimental approach. In fact, he taught himself how to illustrate archaeological artifacts while completing his Master's degree at Trent University. Said his thesis supervisor at the time: "There might not be much in the way of coherent theoretical content in Dwayne's thesis, but damn, it looks pretty!" After spending close to a decade as a technical communicator at IBM, Dwayne opted to look at their Jan 2009 decision to downsize him as an opportunity to become a stay-at-home Dad for his young twins, and pursue his painting and creative writing whenever they allow him to do so. It is a decision that continues to make him giggle with wild abandon to this very day.
