My Grandfather's Pants by Tegon MausMy Grandfather’s Pants by Tegon Maus


Jack Laskin is happy running the hardware store he inherited from his father and grandfather and his growing romance with his girlfriend Connie.  At least, that is what he thinks.  His mother and her octogenarian friend beg to differ. 

It all began when Jack’s mother begs him to wear his grandfather’s old pants.  He finally gives in, to humor her but strange things start to happen.  As he does every week, he drives his mother and her friend to bingo.  An old woman makes a pass at him and calls him his grandfather’s name, Henry.  Connie is there with her brother, Robert who has brain damage.  Before Jack knows what hits him the three of them are fleeing from a group of thugs.  They jump in the car and it is revealed the Robert took a stuffed animal.  However, it’s not actually the stuffed animal the thugs are after; it’s the flash drive inside.

Then his mom and friends meddle in Jack’s love life and insist that just one woman will never be enough for him.  One woman was not enough for his father or grandfather.  Of course, this is way too much information for poor Jack to hear.

My Grandfather’s Pants is quite unique but includes Tegon Maus’s trademark quirky characters and humor.  Actually, I laughed throughout the book, often in tears.  This book is pure entertainment.  Tegon Maus is a master of his craft! Highly Recommended!

4/5

I received the ebook for my honest review.

About Tegon MausMy Grandfathers Pants by Tegon Maus


Tegon Maus was raised pretty much the same as everyone else… devoted mother, strict father and all the imaginary friends he could conjure. Not that he wasn’t friendly, he just wasn’t “people orientated”. Maybe he lived in his head way more than he should have, maybe not. He liked machines more than people, at least he did until I met his wife.

The first thing he can remember writing was for her. For the life of him he can’t remember what it was about… something about dust bunnies under the bed and monsters in my closet. It must have been pretty good because she married him shortly after that. He spent a good number  of years chasing other dreams before he got back to writing.

It wasn’t a deliberate conscious thought, it was more of a stepping stone. His wife and himself had joined a dream interpret group and we were encouraged to write down our dreams as they occurred. “Be as detailed as you can,” we were told.

He was thrilled. If there is one thing he enjoys it’s making people believe him and he likes to exaggerate. Not a big exaggeration or an outright lie mind you, just a little step out of sync, just enough so you couldn’t be sure if it were true or not.  When he writes, he always write with the effort of “it could happen” very much in mind and nothing, he guarantees you, nothing, makes him happier.

He has consistently placed in the top 3 in 189 writing contest in a variety of genres and has been featured in magazines a couple of times to raise money for Saint Jude’s Children’s Hospital.

My Grandfather's Pants

Jack Laskin is an ordinary man. More than ordinary according to some. Running the family hardware store and a life that would bore a snail, nothing exciting ever seems to happen to him.

Then, at his mother’s urging, he tries on a pair of his late grandfather’s old pants and everything changes — most importantly his emerging love life. It’s not long before his mother and her meddling friends get involved.

When an old friend of his grandfather’s tells Jack he has something she wants, his new-found life takes another turn. Having no idea what he is supposed to have, Jack looks to his girlfriend, Connie, and her brother, Robert, for help.

In the end, the answers will all be found in his Grandfather’s Pants.

Praise for My Grandfather’s Pants by Tegon Maus


“This story is fantastic! It is totally different to anything I have read before. As the storyline unfolds, it is sexy, humorous and very entertaining – absolutely brilliant!”- Susan Keefe, Book Reviews By Susan Keefe, Author

“I was definitely not expecting to laugh as often as I did while reading My Grandfather’s Pants. Mr. Maus has a fantastic sense of humour that translates extremely well to the written word. He is adept at teasing out the funny side of even the most serious or mundane parts of daily life. It was especially entertaining to see how he plays around with a wide range of assumptions most of us make about certain groups of people in order to keep his readers on their toes.
My Grandfather’s Pants is a great choice for anyone in the mood for something quirky and original. This is the kind of book that begs to be read more than once. I, for one, will be revisiting it quite soon!”- LAS Reviewer, Long and Short Reviews

“My Grandfather’s Pants is a funny and surprising novel. An enjoyable combination of fantasy and suspense with a touch of romance. The protagonist, Jack is a likeable old soul thrown into a bizarre situation, and the way he handles the bizarre challenges he faces will keep you guessing . . . and laughing. Pick up this book if you want to take a ride on a saucy, madcap rollercoaster. You won’t be disappointed!”- Joseph N. Sidari, Amazon Reviewer

Interview with Tegon Maus, Author of My Grandfather’s Pants

TR: Where do you get the names for your characters?  

TM: Depending on what I write, I want my characters to reflect the personality I’m trying to convey.   Names are important…  I can’t have a bad guy doing terrible things with a name like Percy !    I have a book… much like a phone book that I find names that most match how I want my readers to see my characters.

TR: Are any of your characters in ‘My Grandfather’s Pants’ based on real-life friends or acquaintances? 

TM: Many of the people I know are in all my books…  not their names mind you but most certainly the way they behave.  People are very interesting in what they say compared to how they behave… everyone has a little something that doesn’t follow the line.  For me, that makes them very interesting !           

TR: Tell us about your cover. Did you design it yourself?  

TM: In a manner of speaking…  my publisher asks for what I think it should look like… what colors I like, any symbols I don’t want on the cover,  do I want people or  graphics… things like that and then the company designer takes that info and turns it into a cover. By its self…  My Grandfather’s Pants appears to be a plain cover but after you read it,  it becomes the perfect cover !      

TR: What is your favorite scene in ‘My Grandfather’s Pants’? Why? 

TM: I have several that are an important part of my life sprinkled throughout all my books. I may have turned them just a little to keep them personal  but I would have to say at the end of this book my hero asks his girl to marry him… it is the EXACT scene… the EXACT  words… exact way it happened when I asked my wife to marry me.   Every word true in every detail !

TR: Imagine you have entered the ‘Twilight Zone’, Would a writer purposely commit suicide in hopes her book would then become famous? 

TM: To what end ?  She would never know what people thought… whether they like it or hated it. There would be no upside, no money, no fame, no adulation, no twits saying what she wrote changed their life.  Why it would be crazy to think killing yourself would give your book more attention than any other…  wait a minute…  I’ll have to think about this.

TR: What are you currently working on? 

TM: At present I almost finished with Book 2 of the Littlefield series. I also have a few chapters of Book 3 as well.  In addition I’m tinkering with Book 2 for BOB and only have 8 or 9 thousand words left for book 3 of the Eve Series.  I also have an Audio copy of  BOB  coming in early November! 

TR: Wow, an audio book of ‘Bob’ will be a special treat!  I am looking forward to all of the sequels as well! Thanks so much for being my guest today, Tegon!
