DAVE STRATTON has been a professional writer in the fields of advertising and corporate communications for a very, very long time. He is also a co-writer, along with Frank Haney and Carol Kimball, of the trailer park musical Lust 'n Rust, published by Samuel French. His comedy blog, Deadpan Inc., garnered a modest but loyal international following from 2008 to 2011 and continues to draw new fans today. He recently completed his first novel, Lifelike, and is currently collecting rejection letters from potential agents. Dave and his wife Ginnie enjoy world travel now that their delightful daughter Lia is a fully functional adult.
