Who are the Curmudgeon Virgins and how are they related to Diddly Squat? Or Sheryl Crow? Or Yankee Doodle?

What do mullets have in common with fired football coaches? Or Facebook? Or mall walkers?

In Search of Diddly Squat provides answers to those questions. It could be called a quest for truth, justice, and the America way, even though there is very little truth and almost no justice in it. Just humor. And satire. And sarcasm. And short, choppy sentences that start with "and." And "or." But not "but."

From the author of "Picking Up Jellyfish" (subtitled The Bobble Head Legacy) and "Guitars and Telescopes" comes a book about the impact one Down syndrome child can have on those fortunate enough to enter her world.

How does a person born with mental and physical challenges become the most popular person in his community ? Why did the town throw a 50th birthday party for him and name a street in his honor ? Why do valedictorians mention him in their commencement addresses ? Why does a person who can't use a computer get 500 Facebook friends the first week he is on it ?

"Freddy: A Love Story" attempts to answer those questions. It is an often humorous, sometimes poignant look at the town of Clinton, Tennessee and the man who captured the town's heart.

Adam Donahue has a twisted sense of humor. His wife, Jessica, is a dedicated kindergarten teacher. Their comfortable life together is rocked by what happens to one of Jessica's students.

Donna Jo Crawford is the type of student who breaks her teacher's heart. Unlike most students, she hates weekends. She has the Monday morning smile and the Friday frown. Typical of children whose parents are drug abusers, she is desperate for attention. When her parents' lethal brew of methamphetamine explodes, she becomes a burn victim and an orphan. She fights first for survival, and then to overcome her scars, both physical and mental.

"Picking Up Jellyfish" gets its title from a seemingly innocuous childhood event, but that event takes on added significance in light of Donna Jo's quest to overcome her new challenges. Hers is a story of courage, yet it is told through Adam's unique and often humorous point of view.
