Hi, and Welcome to my web site! My name is Ward Ricker, and this is my personal web site. I intend to put a lot of my personal stuff here that people might find interesting. Who knows, I might even be able to fool you into thinking that I am creative! (Nahh! Never happen!) At the present time I have some songs that I have written, some brain teasers that I have made up, some games you can play, and some humorous anecdotes from my life that I hope you will find entertaining, and links to books that I have written. I also have some links to some other sites that I think you might find useful or interesting.

I have nine books published at this time, some for sale and some for free. My "masterpiece", Holy Hustle: A Bible Parody, is an (I hope) entertaining and (definitely) irreverent romp through the Bible. Gawdawful Hymns is written in a similar vein and includes parodies of Christian hymns. Unholy Bible is a listing of the immoral, evil, contradictory and otherwise "bad" parts of the Bible. Getting off my religious criticism kick, I also have several brainteasers and puzzles books with thousands of teasing puzzles and puzzling teasers to keep you entertained for many hours. You will also find some short stories you can read for free at the book site.
I have written a number of songs over the years that I am hoping others will enjoy. Some are written to others' tunes, and some are to music that I have written.
Come see the songs I have written!
I have also prepared some "quick quizzes" on some topics of interest in the world today. See how you do with them!
How about some fun games?
I have taken down my brainteasers from the site. If you want to do them, you now have to buy my books, Ward's Original Brainteasers and Puzzles, Volumes 1, 2 and 3.
Sometimes truth is more interesting than fiction! All of these short anecdotes are true incidents that I have found funny enough to record. I bet these are funnier than most of the made-up jokes that you have heard.
Check out my stories!
On the other hand perhaps you would like to read about my ideas of how the world should be.
If that's not serious enough for you, I have a Five-Point Plan to Save Democracy. (Still "under construction", but you can read what I have.)
Alright. If you got all the way through to here, you just might have some thoughts you want to share about what you have found at my site. If so you might want to send me an email at ward@wardricker.com.
Thanks for visiting. I hope you'll come back again soon.
