inhabit the pages of this book. Amazing Tales is a compilation of
short stories that are sure to touch and excite readers of all
ages.
Johnny Donal, P.I., a retired cop, now with a successful
investigations agency, should be enjoying life in the SC
Lowcountry. He isn't. That he has a stellar reputation as an
investigator; that he has a source of independent wealth; that he
can pick and choose cases should, if anything, add to his good
life. None of it does. Instead, Donal is a troubled man. His lover
has left him and, worse, he's batting zero with his attempts to get
her back. He also has a new client with a strange attitude about
the circumstances surrounding her missing husband and Donal isn't
sure that he can trust the woman. Then a friend is murdered and
that case intertwines with Donal's missing husband case. Despite a
double dealing client, negative involvement with influential
locals, and political obstacles cluttering his investigation, the
question becomes can the P.I., who has problems of his own to
resolve, uncover the identity of the killer or killers and solve
the crimes?
We Southern guys love the ladies and we love to eat and to watch
the world go by. Sometimes we love the Southern climate, sometimes
that climate scares hell out of us. And there's the flora and fauna
of the South, so no, we can't forget the blooms and critters and
there are a few of 'em scattered in the poems in this little book
In all 34 poems reflect what I, and I believe other Southerners,
love and are good for us fill these few pages. The poems are my
stuff, written by a guy and sometimes a naughty word creeps in. All
of the poems have a Southern flavor. I'm truly hoping not only the
guys but the ladies will like my stuff. The ladies may skip the
naughty words. Or, they may enjoy them. Some of these poems were
previously published and a few were also reprinted in Quiction
where I was a weekly contributor. Poem titles and the publications
where my work were originally found are as follows. Hummingbird,
Cardinal, Snowy Egret, Circles and Cycles, A Benign Blue Sky,
Lowcountry Threads, Fishin' In The Gulf Stream, and Southern Boy
were first published in Dead Mule School of Southern Literature.
Outside My Door, Another Skin and A Seafood Boil were in Southern
Hum. Separation and Reunion and Stuff Makes Me Cold, Me and Myself
Again, and A Frogmore Stew were in Gator Springs Gazette. Bogalusa
Blues, On the Corner of Religion and Jazz, Wanderlust, and Cajun
Solution were first published inQuiction. Vile Beauties was in
Cellar Door. Louisiana first appeared in Flush Fiction Magazine.
The remaining poems are published here for the first time."

The reader knows the killers identity from the inception. The
protagonist must uncover motive, find the killer, and stop him.
In this fictionalized memoir, G. C. Smith "pulls back the covers"
on what goes on in offices and businesses she has known. In
amusing, incisive prose, she describes the various types that she
has come across during her working life. She has a satiric and
knowing eye when it comes to human nature. At the same time, she
delves deeper and sees the humanity and motives that cause people
to act the way they do. With a mixture of shock and delight, you
will no doubt recognize similarities to people you yourself have
encountered.-- Anthony Ambrogio, Editor
WHITE LIGHTNING is a story of a top notch stock car race-team
trying to grab the big prize in stock car racing that will, in
turn, make their Southern regional corporation, WHITE LIGHTNING
INDUSTRIES (car parts and care products and service stores), a
national corporate player. Bad guys try to take over the
corporation. Their skullduggery ends up with multiple murder. The
book bounces from the South Carolina Lowcountry to the NASCAR race
circuit to the Bahamas and back to the race circuit. It's got
intrigue. It's got suspense. It's got flirty girls. And it's got
redemption. It is, I think, a fun read.
