This month I've put together a collection of tiny tales… short stories in ten words or less. Once you've read them, have a go at writing your own!

If you're a grammar nerd or a lover of language, this collection is sure to make you LOL. Otherwise, grab a dictionary and prepare to expand your linguistic horizons.

I'm not sure if I'll ever run out of funny book titles. I've written more than 60 in total, yet they still keep coming. I could probably fill an entire book with them, but what on earth would I call it?

I’ve written roughly seventy name jokes over the years, which would be enough people to fill a bus. Perhaps I should hire a coach and only sell tickets to people with names that feature in my jokes. But where should we go? Somewhere with a funny name, of course. How about Middelfart, Denmark? Or Pee Pee Township, Ohio?

Nursery rhymes are ingrained in our culture, but we never seem to hear any jokes about them. Until now…

I didn't think it would be possible to write an entire collection of alphabet jokes, but in the end it was as easy as A, B, C …

These terrifically testing tongue-twisters might tie your tongue in two! Try to repeat them rapidly ten times…

These are one of my favourite types of jokes. They're especially funny because they often take you by surprise and make you see a name in a completely new light. Plus, I get to ask questions like, 'What do you call a girl with sausages on her head?' You'll have to read on for the answer!

This month I thought I’d mix things up with some Limericks – one of the funniest forms of poetry.

Funny book titles and author names are as old as books themselves. I grew up with the classics, like Feeding Your Dog, by Nora Bone and Falling off a Cliff by Eileen Dover. Now that I'm an author I thought I'd try to write my own novel titles …

What do you call a man with a spade on his head? Doug. What do you call a man without a spade on his head? Douglass. I’ve known these classic name jokes for years, but I’ve never had a go at writing my own, until now...
