Produktbeschreibung
The Ugly One in the Middle is about Stan Campbell's wicked, and often witty story of the search for two people, his birth mom, and the angelic, sensual woman of his dreams. Kind of romantic, right? But, wait...there is humor, mystery and intrigue. Just before Stan's sixteenth birthday, his Aunt Patsy accidentally let it slip that his mom and pop did not conceive him. No surprise. Parents having sex? Quel horror! His adoptive mom knew something dark, but she wasn't talking. It didn't matter much...then. Stan's top priorities of the day were drowning his bashfulness in a wine and rubbing alcohol mix. That didn't work. He threw up and fell down a lot. After leaving his rural Cape Breton home, Stan found periods of sobriety, interrupted by evenings of alcoholic blackouts, and the end of virginity, culminating in a terror-filled evening of lust. Stan's story is roller-coaster of multiple marriages, followed by multiple divorces, caused mostly by multiple affairs while pursuing a career as a big city radio DJ.
Autorenporträt
(Alex) Stan Campbell has had several careers through the years. After a stint in the Canadian Army, Stan pursued a career as an electronic technician, once cleared for a Top Secret assignment in the Arctic. Following the Arctic operation, Stan auditioned a local Nova Scotia radio station for an overnight on air position...most often referred to as a DJ. Quickly, he moved on to host radio shows throughout Canada and eventually in Toronto. In 1982, Stan left radio behind for several years to launch a record company and begin producing artists in Nashville. One of his more famous artists was a then-unknown, Eilleen (Shania) Twain. The record business turned out to be a critical success but a financial disaster. Following filing Chapter 11, Stan returned to the airwaves in Nashville. He quickly gained success and moved upward within four years, from Nashville to Cincinnati to Los Angeles. However, after five years in Hollywood, Stan and his fourth wife Susan moved to the peace and quiet of a small town in Northern Michigan. Stan is currently a voice actor providing voiceovers for clients throughout the US.
