Comi...view moreHerb Nordmeyer is a forensic stucco consultant and an accomplished storyteller of stories that tug at your heart-strings. His specialties are problem solving and life lessons. Coming to Texas In November of 1941, as war raged in Europe and the Japanese secretly prepared to attack Pearl Harbor, a decision was made to dispatch Herb to Texas, even though he was not fluent in English. We will leave Herb’s wartime activities to your imagination. It is enough to know that he survived the war. By 1947 Herb spoke passable English, and he was actively pursuing his dream of becoming a test pilot for a prototype aircraft. That career came to a sudden halt on June 23 of the same year. The complete story of Herb’s days as a test pilot will soon be available in the children’s e-book, The Last Flight of the X-SP-13-5-D. Corporate America Herb’s career continued to take unexpected paths. After spending some time teaching in a school where armed guards patrolled the halls, Herb decided to pursue less stressful employment. He went to work for a construction materials company. During his years in corporate America, Herb held a number of titles and published numerous technical articles, but he never displayed a degree higher than his eighth grade diploma on his office wall. This allowed him to talk as equals with people whose greatest business asset was their ten-year-old pick-up truck. While Herb’s experiences in the corporate world would easily rival the comic strip “Dilbert,” writing about them is not high on his priority list. Since retiring from corporate America, Herb has divided his time between consulting, leading wilderness kayaking tours, and writing serious books with a sense of humor. Devotions & Cancer Herb began writing devotions for a church publication in 1996. Additionally, Herb and his wife, Judy, have published two booklets related to living with cancer. Those booklets are titled We Heard the Wings of Angels and Cancer—An Intense House Guest, and they will soon be available as a single e-book. The Stucco Book In 2012, Herb published The Stucco Book—The Basics. This book contains everything you need to know to complete a conventional stucco job, whether you are a novice or a seasoned professional. A second volume in this series, The Stucco Book—Forensics & Repairs, will be published in 2013. Animals I Have Hated Herb also published Animals I Have Hated in 2012. This is a book of true animal stories interwoven with life lessons. Some of the stories were first told by Herb’s mother, and others feature lessons Herb learned on his own from the animals he encountered. The book’s title also comes from Herb’s mother. She said that if she ever wrote her stories down, that is the title she would use. Animals I Have Hated will soon be available as an e-book, and Herb’s granddaughters are in the process of selecting an alternate title. Grandpa, Help! Herb’s most recent publishing project is the Grandpa, Help! series. Over the years, more than twenty young ladies have adopted Herb as their “Grandpa.” He has forged strong bonds with these young ladies by listening to what they have to say, treating them as equals, and injecting a generous dose of humor into each conversation. As a result, Herb’s granddaughters regularly consult him about situations they would never discuss with their parents. He doesn't chide his granddaughters if they don’t follow his advice, so they feel free to confide in him as they progress in life. Last August, several of Herb’s granddaughters encouraged him to collect his advice in hopes that it would be helpful to other young ladies as well. As a result, Grandpa, Help! - Answers to Questions a Young Lady Would Never Ask Her Parents was published as an e-book in April 2013. As Herb deliberately mentors his granddaughters, they, in turn, continually mentor him on being a grandparent. Herb and his granddaughters are currently developing Grandpa Helps Grandparents! to help other grandparents develop strong bonds with their own grandchildren. In the meantime, a second volume of advice for young ladies, Grandpa, Help! – Dating, is also in the works. Consulting When he’s not writing, Herb keeps busy consulting on stucco projects. He is especially in demand when problems develop on a job site. A Little More about Herb Herb, Judy, and their two cats live in a wheelchair-accessible home near San Antonio, Texas. They claim that they keep their chickens outside. Herb and Judy built their home with the help of volunteers who wanted to learn about the building concepts Herb has developed. And there is a great deal to learn. Herb and Judy accomplish most of the heating and cooling of their spacious, energy-efficient home with a single twenty-inch box fan. As a final note, it is helpful to recognize that when Herb writes, he always tells the truth, but sometimes he allows the clarifying details to emerge slowly. For example, Herb’s dispatch to Texas was in fact his birth in November 1941, and his brief career as a test pilot took place at a very young age. (You will have to wait for the e-book to find out the details of his last flight.) After all, Herb has been told that a writer’s biography should never be boring.view less
