About the Book

Fixing My Last Millennium is a glorious and humorous dissection of real-life experiences and the various attempts made to survive them. Paul Williams has arranged his personal collection of second millennium experiences into a series of special rooms (or chapters), to lay bare the funnier side of second millennium life in the hope that it will help the reader to survive the third. Hence, since the third millennium is likely to be his (and our) last, suspended animation technology not withstanding, herewith he bequeaths his legacy to the real world.

Everything in the book is true, and all the furniture is real, not a reproduction. Around 100,000 words of wisdom guide the reader through event after event of humorous climax, given from a Bryson-Cleese type merger of perspective and tangential fun. Since the author has a Ph.D., you could call him an egghead, yet his writing is distinctly non-vegetarian. It should therefore appeal to everyone who has at least some kind of appetite.


About the Author

Dr. Paul Williams was born on April 30th 1959 in the town of Cheltenham, England. A traditional grammar school education, some singing, TV work, and concert tours, gave way to ten years in three different Universities, accumulating far too many qualifications.

After nearly traveling to Malaysia to study and save the rainforest and being stopped at the last minute by a government policy change, he went on to work within the British railway system studying snow and setting fire to trains, all in the pursuit of public safety of course.

Paul has now at long last got a proper job in marketing. Although I am sure that some would disagree. The job started as an experiment whilst he was based in the Netherlands, and caused him to move to Chicago, USA for a few years. Recent repatriation to the UK together with his wife Fiona, and their three children: Matthew, Bethan, and Benjamin, has completed his world tour. For now.

Paul writes poetry and short stories, drinks lots of red wine and snores.
