If you like Monty Python, or Doctor Who, or the Discworld books, you may find something in "Call Me Ishmael" you enjoy.  Personally, I'd also suggest spending some time with Wodehouse.

If you insist, "Call Me Ishmael" was featured here on Wattpad prior to publication.  Being featured led to over 750,000 reads and a Youtube review, for all of which I am grateful.  Now it's available at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Smashwords.

I will continue to feature new work and first drafts here on Wattpad.  

About me?  Well, first of all, I am married to the most wonderful, and dangerous woman in the world.  We have been blessed with a two sons, each of whom is serving their country in the Marine Corps; the oldest on active duty, and the younger in NROTC.  Our daughter is still at home; she is also a writer.

Life is like a pancake, round and flat.  Like the earth.  Like an old, sweet song that keeps Georgia on your mind.

And if you know someone in the 9-12 year old range who likes mysteries, point them toward "The Beagle Connection."  It's available on the Kindle at http://www.amazon.com/The-Beagle-Connection-ebook/dp/B007GZF3TK; for the Nook at: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-beagle-connection-erick-flaig/1109326457 and at Smashwords at: http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/89944

This is a first draft, so it's rough. I wanted to throw it against the wall and see if it stuck, though.

@ErickFlaig -I see. 
Oh cool! What was the name of the second one? I read and really enjoyed 'Call Me Ishmael' so you did a good job on that one.

@CaptainVonDelgo Yes, I've won twice, and failed twice.  The first draft of "Call Me Ishmael" was a nano, and the second one I've also published, under a pen name.  Each of them took about 2 years to rewrite, edit, and polish though.

@ErickFlaig haha, I'm so slow it would take me 30 WEEKS to write 50,000 words. :-/

@ErickFlaig -Yessir! My first time writing for NaNoWriMo. My older brother has done it a couple of times before and so has one of my  sisters so I thought I should give it a go.
