A Town Untangled (Hardcover): S. Sully D. S. Sully A Town Untangled (Hardcover)

No matter how mediocre or mundane, all hometowns have a storied past; neither mine nor yours is an exception. Be forewarned that you will encounter organized crime, religious strife, environmental disaster, romantic heartbreak, cultural chaos, and communal calamity, so, just deal with it Historically accurate rather than politically correct, these harrowing accounts might raise a few hackles, foster a gaggle of goose bumps, and rekindle awkward moments. This saga begins in an old main street mansion serving as a childhood home.

It then progresses to the parochial cultivation of church and school. Next are the peer-pressure pathways through the surrounding neighborhoods. And last, this journey meanders beyond the outskirts where anything can happen.

Maybe we have something in common. There's a possibility that eccentric elders, spooky neighbors, and mysterious others existed where you grew up. Perhaps reclusive cemeteries, moonshiners, and brothels remained discreet while overindulged citizens, oversized cops, and over-zealous teachers got plenty of attention. And for sure, at least one local residence served as a sideshow salvage yard.

Although you may have outgrown your hometown, its cockamamie collection of memories continues to reside in your mind and soul. These recollections will now be triggered by venturing into A Town Untangled.

Carrying on the same storytelling traditions as he did with A Town Untangled and Glimpse, D.S.Sully shares the whimsical folklore of his rural homeland in Bum Wing. Speaking on behalf of a struggling kid named Vandy, this escapade of adversity becomes a secretive endeavor into a nearby woods marked by quirky critters and characters. And through some history, mystery, and mayhem, each finds an intriguing connection to the other.

There's nothing fair about losing sight of the world around you. However, that's exactly what happened to D.S. Sully. At age eight, he started evolving into a young kid with old man eyes. Beset with a gradual vision loss known as macular degeneration, he got a head strat on what is more commonly associated with geezer status. Scared silly of misfitting witin the mainstream, his defiance culminated into both hilarity and hard knocls.

Following the successful debut of "A Town Untangled," Sully gets even more personal with a wiseacre anthology that took over a half century to complete. In doing so, "Glimpse" profiles the outlandish predicaments of dashhing and crashing through adversity. Without a doubt, Glimpse personifies a true tale of "What you see is what you get."

Altogether audacious and somewhat off-kilter, this incrimidating tattle shares a candid glimpse into the "Good Grief" reality of being the proverbial square peg in a round hole. As such, what now comes to light, are the extraordinary measures, taken by some of us, just for the sake of fitting in.
