About the Book

My Slice Of Life Is Full Of Gristle is Gordon Kirkland's ninth book, and seventh collection of short humorous essays. Three of his previous collections have received Canada's Stephen Leacock Award of Merit For Humour. In addition, Kirkland has written two full-length novels. This latest book is sure to please Kirkland's many fans around the world as he returns with a collection of over 40 essays covering topics ranging from prosthetic testicles for neutered dogs to the experience of swimming alongside a 9-foot shark. He covers his topics with the same sense of fun and frivolity that has marked his previous books, and led reviewers to proclaim him "one of North America's premier humorists." Long-time fans and those who have just discovered Kirkland's writing will enjoy these examples of his gristly slice of life!
About the Author: Gordon Kirkland is the award-winning and best-selling author of eight other books. He is a three-time recipient of the Stephen Leacock Award of Merit as a finalist for the Leacock Medal for his collections of humorous essays. He has garnered a very large and loyal fan base in the United States and Canada, as well as elsewhere around the world. For 13 years he wrote the syndicated newspaper column, Gordon Kirkland At Large, which appeared in numerous papers in both Canada and the United States. His first five books of humorous essays were stories that got their start in the newspaper column. A sixth book, Holly Jolly Frivolity was produced based on some of his holiday themed columns as well as other material including rewritten holiday songs. In addition, he has written two novels, Crossbow and The Plight Before Christmas. Gordon Kirkland has been a workshop leader and keynote speaker at dozens of writer's conferences, festivals, and university programs over the past fifteen years. This includes three sessions of the University of Dayton's Erma Bombeck Writer's Workshop, six years on the faculty of the Southern California Writer's Conference, as well as many more. He has lectured at Simon Fraser University (Vancouver, BC), Ball State University (Muncie, Indiana), The University of Georgia (Athens, GA), and Florida First Coast Community College (Jacksonville, FL.) In 2009, Kirkland was one of the stars of The 3-Day Novel, a television series on Canada's BookTelevision, in which 12 Canadian writers were locked in a large bookstore with the task of writing a full novel in just 72 hours. This was carried out under the watchful eye of television cameras, store customers, and with numerous interruptions aimed at breaking the writers' trains of thought. He wrote the first draft of his novel Crossbow during the show. In 2011, the Kindle versions of several of Gordon's books attained best-seller status, with The Plight Before Christmas peaking in the top 100 of all books available for the Kindle. Holly Jolly Frivolity and The Plight Before Christmas were the two top selling humorous Christmas books for the Kindle. Gordon lives in Pitt Meadows, BC with, Diane, and their adopted Labrador Retriever, Tara. They have two grown sons.
