PETE MORRIS

Books about people, life and the absurdity of trying to make sense of either.

Observational humour about ordinary people, human behaviour, getting older, working for a living and the strange things we all do while pretending we know what we're doing.

Don't Take A Fence by Pete Morris

THE FIRST BOOK

DON'T TAKE
A FENCE

Forty years on the line between two gardens.

For forty years, Pete Morris has been putting fences between people. Which turns out to be an unusually good place from which to study them.

Don't Take A Fence is a collection of true stories from a lifetime dealing with customers, neighbours, builders, dogs, lorries, misunderstandings and the occasional boundary dispute that probably should have involved the United Nations.

Funny, observational and painfully familiar, it's less a book about fences than a book about the people standing either side of them.

ABOUT PETE

People have always fascinated me.

Their stories, their quirks, their contradictions, the things they say, the things they do, and the reasons they give — even when those reasons make no sense at all.

I've spent a lot of my life watching people, talking to them and trying to understand what makes us all tick. Along the way I've studied psychology, NLP, hypnosis and more than a few other ways of making sense of the human condition.

Eventually I realised I'd accumulated rather a lot of stories, observations and opinions.

So I started writing them down. It seemed safer for everyone.
