• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Pregnant and dealing with a bout of morning sickness, Andrew Butters' soon-to-be mom handed the keys to her car to her husband and asked him to start it up. He cranked the engine and released the clutch, not realizing it was still in gear. The car lurched forward, striking her in the caboose and launching her into the ditch. Thus began her unborn son's adventures in misfortune.

Told in the style of a friend at the pub recounting a tall tale that begins, "Have I told you about the time...," Near Death by a Thousand Cuts takes you on a wild and crazy forty-eight-year journey filled with accidents, injuries, and medical procedures guaranteed to make you simultaneously wince and laugh to the point of tears.

Autorenporträt

Andrew Butters is a writer and creator, and a married father of two living in New Brunswick, Canada. He'll tell you that his first published work was Losing Vern as part of the Orange Karen: A Tribute to a Warrior anthology. In reality, it was a 500-word anecdote about the time he lit himself on fire. That story was included in the third installment of the Darwin Awards books. His humorous memoir of misfortune, Near Death By A Thousand Cuts, features the uncensored version.

Not all his distinctions are as dubious as appearing in a Darwin Awards book. He participated in a trick on stage with Penn & Teller and appeared on the Super Dave Osborne Show. How about scoring a game-winning goal at Maple Leaf Gardens and "selling" music to filmmaker Kevin Smith? Then, there were his three seconds of non-speaking airtime in a TV commercial. And don't forget when he appeared as a fighting, unhoused man in a hip-hop video.

With several books in print, Andrew has demonstrated talents across multiple genres, including heartwarming and hilarious nonfiction, dystopian soft sci-fi, and a mind-bending psychological thriller.

Andrew writes, creates, eats snacks, blogs, toils over his next novel, creates videos, enjoys golf, science, EQUALITY, the Oxford comma, and sometimes lets his love of attention override common sense. You can find evidence of this pretty much anywhere you can find Andrew.
