The wind up merchant (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781450522243)

Brett Ellis, aka Pat Keriss, hails from the UK. Now living in the London area, Brett has earned himself a reputation as a humorous columnist for a number of local and national magazines. Currently he is the main columnist for a national media magazine. He has also written and edited for websites, companies, royal families, councils and numerous other publications. He has over 15 years experience of being published as a freelancer/ columnist. With no formal writing training, his articles are mostly social commentary and always thought provoking. He writes with an edge that is rarely read in these politically correct times. Taking a keen interest in politics and current affairs, he has over 20 years radio experience where he has interviewed a number of political figures including two main party leaders. All interviews have been aired live and no questions have been off limits. His interviews have been commented on in the Daily Mirror, The Times and The New Statesman amongst many others. 'The wind up merchant' is Brett's first literary release. Describing the book as a 'crude shot through the bows of the politically correct bubble in which we live', he concludes that, 'even with some modicum of education, we are all children at heart who enjoy a laugh and a joke at others expense'. 'This is pure toilet humour that will produce numerous belly laughs'. As Pat, I write from the hip as I attempt to infuriate, tickle and leave you aghast in equal measure. Currently working on different writing genres including social commentary and politics, this extremely versatile writer is looking at a comedy comeback, in the future, for his alter ego, Pat Keriss. 'It takes a lot to make me laugh' concedes Brett, 'but this book has made me cry with laughter every step of the way'.
