    Delton T. Horn is proud to be a curmudgeon.

    I go through life with tongue planted firmly in cheek.

    I like to entertain people and make them laugh. Not all of my works or comic, although most are. But I think even my serious works have wisps of humor running through them. Why take life so seriously?

    I try to price my books as low as possible. I want people to read and enjoy them. Making money is not my goal, although it would be nice...

    In the past I have written and performed sketch comedy, stand-up and comedy improvisations, in addition to leading several workshops on improvisation. I wrote and starred in two brief local radio comedy series in Missouri (“Without A Net” and “Narrowed Horizons”).

    I wrote a number of non-fiction books in the 1980s, mostly on hobbyist electronics, but also one on Comedy Improvisation. Many of these seem to be available on Amazon from various new and used dealers

    A string of office jobs left little time for creative outlets, but now that I have taken early retirement, I am turning his attention to writing fiction, utilizing a number of ideas that have been fermenting in my imagination, and have gone through numerous drafts and re-examinations.

    I live quietly with his beloved wife, Alana, and a pair of mildly insane cats. I guess you could say I have become a semi-recluse.

    How to Test Almost Anything Electronic A great book, I read some of it last night in bed!! Well, she was asleep and time during the day is mostly taken up by other things. So far it is a great help to anyone wanting to get into testing what the hell went wrong with their electrical gear.

    I bought this for a friend who requested it on drawnames for her secret santa. Apparently, if you type in a bunch of random letters, this is the first thing that comes up. She refused to let me return it, although it was of no use to her. I should have gotten her something I thought she might actually enjoy instead. Book came in great shape though, and was sturdy. Felt great in the gift bag
