[From back cover] John Pate is an accomplished writer, entertainer, and educator whose career spans over twenty two years, and includes numerous television network writing credits, national television appearances, and stand-up comedy appearances from coast to coast, as an opening act or performing with the likes of Jay Leno, Jerry Seinfeld, and the legendary Red Skelton, whom John credits for revealing to him the secret of bringing his characters to life. John now infuses that secret ingredient into each one of his narratives. As a professor of communication arts, John spent countless hours in bookstores, perusing the shelves for performance materials for his students. He later decided to make that task a bit easier for any young artist, by providing a variety of materials from which to choose, all in one collection. His new book, Berry Parch Works, is the culmination of that effort. His pages offer riveting plots and characters, and already they are being praised in print and review as a new breed of performance material, taking it to the next level. His approach to creative, poetic, and dramatic arts is a discovery for each and every reader.
