About the Author
Ihad loads of fun writing I’m Joking, my first collection of jokes. But I knew if I wanted to come up with another five hundred original jokes, I needed to get serious. So, I laid down some rules:
No watching TV.
No reading books.
No listening to podcasts.
… UNTIL I had written five jokes that day.
It took a few long nights and entertainment-free weeks, but in less than six months … I’m Seriously Joking was complete. And to be honest, there were more than enough laugh-out-loud moments along the way to make it worthwhile.
My goal was to provide tons of new jokes that you (and your friends and family) have never heard before. So, if I wrote a joke that seemed too obvious or familiar, I chucked it out and started over, resulting in acollection of five hundred completely fresh jokes.
I seriously hope you enjoy them!
Once upon a time, I thought it would be a good idea to write a few jokes for my website. I’ve now written more than a thousand of them, and The End is nowhere in sight. In fact, joke-writing has become one of the most enjoyable chapters in my author story … one that leads me in directions that I never imagined I would go. Like these fairy-tale jokes, for example.

I’ve spent lots of time in schools. Obviously, I had to go to one when I was a child, like it or not. But as an adult I became a teacher and taught in schools all over the world for over ten years. Nowadays, I get to visit schools as an author, which is much more fun. All I have to do is tell jokes and stories. And it’s no coincidence that many of these jokes and stories are set in schools.
