The giveaway is now “ LIVE  and you can download it for free until Friday Midnight. This is one of my personal favourite that I have written. “6315 The Original Urban Viking” The difference between this work and my first few published works is astronomical. My first few books are very rough and amateurish. They definitely were. As I say in my intro of “ DAMAGED “, I published it without correcting any of the format or grammar or spelling mistakes. The reason for doing so was that part of my life was chaos and tragedy and I wanted you, the reader, to understand and feel what my so-called childhood was in reality. Although, I have many years experience freelance writing and I have my blogs, some of which have hundreds of posts, I found authoring a book to be far different then a journalism type of article. Volume 1 of My Autobiography https://www.amazon.ca/dp/1973405784 I put all my knowledge and all my heart into “ 6315 The Original Urban Viking “.  Many, many hours of re-write...

I am ' LightHouse Dann Verner'. A man who some say has lived many tragic lives. The first decade of my life I had lived in thirty-two homes. None of which I ever spoke the words, " Mom or Dad ". Only " Mister or Misses". I started my ' Walks ' at the age of ten fighting the monsters in my head.  The demons were winning for many years. I left my siblings Father's house at the age of twelve to join a hippie commune and learned how to be a Heroin addict. I have never slept in my father or mothers house since that day. That was over fifty years ago ..... Was my life hard? I think not. Every life is difficult. It is our trials and tribulations that define who we become in life. I have done many things I am ashamed of. I have done far more that I am proud of. Never let your past transgressions define your future. Hold your head high and hold the attitude that you are the best you that you can be today. For yesterday ...

I post this every Fall or in this case winter as here in Canada Irated Nipple Syndrome is a reality. Mostly caused by our Northern winds and our lust for cheap polyester t-shirts.  I have been plagued with this horrifying disease for nigh on 61 years now. As fall has arrived I am once again plagued with the horrible INS, so, I am re-publishing a blog I wrote in November 2007 It seems to my contorted malformed outlook towards this self labeled existence your homo sapient species declare as humanity that as  “Atomic Mother Earth”  has another one of her annual menopausal temperature episodes, you are dancing in cohesion to her moods and wants. If my memory does not fail me, then, I recall that not just twenty-four hours ago I was strolling the Danforth in a T-shirt and blue jeans. I recall my endocentric annoyance at the sweat gathering in the furrow of my brow as I glinted from the warm brightness of the summer comparable sunlight. Yet, on this bright Thursday ...

AFTERWARD OR AFTERWORDS WHY I WRITE Many ask me why l write. I write my books for  me. I tell my stories for my  readers. “ I am not sure if my works are badly written good stories or well written bad stories. Not too sure I care either way. I do care that, in my “Walk With Dann Collection”, I am telling my life as brutally truthful as possible. In shame and in honour. I do care that my ‘stand alone’ books, such as “ The Last Canadian Cosmonaut ” touch your heart. I pray that my other collection, “Walking On Dawes”, shows that the gang life, although often ‘exciting’, leads only to karma biting your buttocks.” My Walk With Dann Collection Volumes 1, 2 & 3 “ Damaged” is my first book. Like me, it is raw and full of mistakes. I have left it “unedited” as life has left me. “ DAMAGED” Walk With Dann Collection Volume 1 “ A Walk from my birth till I meet my second wife.” It is rough, crude in fact, numerous format con...
