    About this ebook

    P J Parsons takes a humorous look at the typical tennis club, inspired by his own experiences of club tennis at home and abroad over the past seventy-odd years. His observations on the characters that constitute a club’s membership and committee resonate with all those who are or who have been members of their local tennis club, from the Joke Teller to the fount of All Knowledge and the Gadget Master. The perils and pitfalls of committee membership are explained, and there are some useful hints and anecdotes for those wishing to improve their performance with the help of a little gamesmanship.

    P.J. Parsons

    After twenty years of health & business writing, including authoring or co-authoring 11 books and numerous articles, Patricia J. Parsons took her first bold step into creative non-fiction with the publication in 2009 of her memoir Another ‘Pointe’ of View: The Life and Times of a Ballet Mom (Dreamcatcher Publishing), a book that chronicled her unexpected life as the mother of an elite ballet dancer – all the more surprising in a hockey-mad country like Canada, since that dancer is her son.Following up on that experience, she took her considerable research skills to her second passion: historical fiction and women’s fiction. She is the author of the novels Grace Note: In Hildegard’s Shadow and In the Shadow of the Raven.By day, she is a Professor of Communication Studies at a small, east coast university.
