Author Description

From his earliest memory on the planet little Billy Dunning wondered what made him different from other human beings. His first theory was that he was from Mars and had been sent as a goodwill ambassador to spend a lifetime learning what makes a human turn out OK in the world. As the reader, you will journey with the author through two decades of humorous stories that will make you laugh and cry with intimate tales concerning the deepest truths that make human life meaningful. The more you learn about how the author finally turned out OK in the end, the more you will find yourself reflecting on the moments in your life that made you an amazing OK human being too. The author begins his journey in the same location as his first book, Imperfect Stories: Memories form Holt Street. From his Martian days at 818 E. Holt Street in Ottumwa, Iowa to the final chapel about his graduation from seminary, he attempts to answer the question that all human beings want to know, "Why am I the person I am or how did I turn out OK?" Through characters from his childhood and on into adulthood, the author explores how one possible Martian child finally learned what is the real secret to being the best kind of human in this world. Warning: Reading this book may cause you to remember your own moments, mentors and major events that made you the person that you have become as well. Please read responsibly.
