Let’s
welcome another first-timer to the Scribbler.
Jon has
generously accepted my invitation to be our featured guest this week.
I’m
quite certain you’ll enjoy hearing the SBTS about his newest novel.
Read
on my friends.
Jon Hurd works with men in addiction recovery
in Moncton, NB, Canada. Writing seriously since 2020, he has two books
currently in print. He loves spending time with friends, feeding people and
yelling at the TV during sporting events. Jon is also the exceedingly proud
father to two girls.
Title: Hot Dogs on Pizza
Synopsis:
Jon Hurd's trove of essays and musings dives deep into
life's quirks, from friendships to faith to failures. Join in for a
rollercoaster that nudges you to ponder your own life’s journey and your place
in the world. With wit and wisdom, this book turns everyday moments into a
humorous exploration of life's twists and turns.
The Story Behind the Story:
I’ve always just looked at life a little differently. I
always wondered if other people would appreciate that view. As in my first
book, “Jesus Farted …”, I look at life, work, people and faith and try to do
with equal parts wit, wisdom and whining.
A question before you go, Jon:
Scribbler: Where is your favourite
spot to write? Are you messy or neat? Your beverage of choice?
Jon: The
couch. I write on my phone. Ice cold Coca Cola.
An Excerpt from Hot Dogs on Pizza
“When I was a kid, we grew up eating some
weird things. Peanut butter and iceberg lettuce sandwiches. Bread toasted under
the broiler with Kraft singles. And instead of pepperoni, Mom would put sliced
up hot dogs on our pizza.”
“Not everything makes sense in life.
Sometimes you have to cobble together the pieces of who you are and what you’ve
done. But pizza is pizza. There are no bad slices.”
Thank
you for being our guest this week, Jon. We wish you continued success with your
writing.
